The fifteen-minute website self-checkup

You do not need any tools to catch most of what quietly goes wrong with a website. You need fifteen minutes, your phone, and this list.

It walks the same ground a professional first pass covers: how the site holds up on a phone, the trust signals a visitor reads without knowing it, and the things that fail silently — the contact form nobody tests, the search listing nobody looks at, the backup nobody has ever restored. Work down it in order; a few items are worth fixing the same day you find them.

One page, printable, worded so anyone on the team can run it.
