Health Check

Home - Health Check

Every site slowly looses it's edge as time goes by. This is especially true if there is little or no dedicated, routine maintenance - often the case for busy small business owners who have plenty of other jobs to worry about!

It's not all bad news though. Often all a site needs is a little TLC and it's as good as new again.

This is where the bertha net Health Check comes in. This free service checks all those important things, from working links to valid code. (Code is what actually makes a Web page work and the standards are laid down by W3C, the Web's governing body).

Why bother? Search Engines, that's why! Google even publishes extensive guidelines to help Web site owners maximise their "search friendlyness". If you want to have a look click here, but be warned they're on the technical side so here's a quick TOP 5 intead;
