5 Signs Your Website Needs an Update
Noticing fewer inquiries while ads keep eating your budget? Often the issue isn’t marketing but the website itself. Here are five clear signs it’s time to refresh — and practical steps to do it without hurting your business.
1) Fewer leads with the same traffic
If 5 out of 100 visitors used to convert, and now it’s 1–2, that’s a red flag.
How to check: compare conversion rates over 3–6 months, review user paths in GA4, heatmaps.
What to do: simplify forms, move the main CTA above the fold, add reviews and case studies, clarify your offer.
2) Slow loading, especially on mobile
Every extra second costs conversions. Large images, heavy fonts, and extra scripts are common culprits.
How to check: PageSpeed Insights, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP).
What to do: compress images, optimize fonts, delay non-critical scripts.
3) Poor mobile experience
Small buttons, broken layouts, hard-to-find info — half of your visitors just leave.
How to check: go through the site as a customer on your phone.
What to do: enlarge tap areas, simplify navigation, add a sticky CTA.
4) Outdated design and content
Fonts and colors don’t match your current branding, images are stock, texts are generic.
How to check: compare with competitors and your social media presence.
What to do: refresh the visual style, rewrite key pages, add recent case studies.
5) Structure doesn’t match your business
Services have changed, but your site hasn’t.
How to check: review internal search and GA4 reports.
What to do: rebuild navigation, add missing pages and languages.
