The free step only confirms fit and the likely path. It does not include a written report, technical audit, or fix list.

Hosting sanity check

Stack version, TTFB snapshot, and SSL status reviewed against known performance baselines.

DNS & CDN alignment

Checks for missing A, AAAA, or MX records. CDN routing and propagation verified.

Basic indexing

Sitemap presence, robots.txt posture, and homepage crawl-path checked for obvious blocks.

Mobile & Core Web Vitals

Mobile render test and CWV snapshot on homepage. LCP, CLS, and INP flagged if out of range.

Plugin & theme scan

Looks for abandonware, heavy page builders, and known conflict patterns.

GBP presence check

Name, phone, and hours consistency verified across Google Business Profile and the site.

If you need written findings, use the paid WordPress Reality Check.

Paid diagnostic: reality check with fixes mapped

Every critical layer is inspected. You get written findings, priorities, cost ranges, and the next fixed scope. This is paid diagnostic work, not a sales audit.

Hosting & infrastructure

Full stack review, DNS and email routing map, caching layer and CDN correctness verified.

Speed & image audit

Speed budget breakdown and image compression audit tied directly to Core Web Vitals scores.

Theme & plugin review

Builder structure, plugin bloat, abandoned add-ons, and update discipline all reviewed.

Technical SEO crawl

Schema, sitemap, canonical logic, indexing gaps, and GBP optimization all mapped.

UX & conversion gaps

Dead ends, weak CTAs, contact path clarity, and missing trust signals flagged with fixes.

Accessibility & forms

Form handling, error states, and accessibility checks. CDN and caching validation included.

Deliverables: written report, screenshot pack, prioritized fix list, cost outline, and async walkthrough recording.

Stack versioning, SSL, HTTP/2, DNS TTL, and CDN routing checked for latency or risk.

Mobile & Vitals

Crawl & Index

Cut noise from agencies

Clear issues, costs, and timelines in writing so you can ignore vague retainers.

Protect revenue flows

Recent issues found in audits

Pulled from LoudAwards and Trade Grade Painting audits.

LoudAwards; hosting drag

Found mixed DNS records, stale SSL, and a bloated theme. Fixed with a host swap, clean DNS, and trimmed plugins.

LoudAwards; conversion leak

Homepage had no crawl path and weak CTAs. Rebuilt nav, added schema, and surfaced contact blocks to boost leads.

Trade Grade Painting; speed lag

Heavy hero images and no caching. Added WebP, set cache, and tuned CDN to cut LCP down to sub three seconds.

Trade Grade Painting; GBP gap

GBP had mismatched hours and missing categories. Cleaned NAP, added photos, and tied it to the site schema.

You receive written diagnostic findings, screenshot pack, prioritized fixes, price ranges, and the recommended next scope.

Will you fix issues after the audit?

Does this help local search in Winnipeg?
