Diagnosis and Repair

A dead link connects to a page that doesn’t exist. Dead links accumulate as old pages are deleted and links to them aren’t updated. Search engines downrank a site that has dead links and doesn’t fix them. Our diagnosis and repair service tracks down dead links and either removes or updates them.

Older WordPress sites often have outdated and buggy versions of plugins and the site’s theme. Our diagnosis and repair service applies updates and security fixes to your theme and plugins. We back up the site before manually upgrading one item at a time, checking for issues as we go.

Bugs can cause a website to slow down, parts of it to stop working, and otherwise prevent the site from working correctly. As part of the diagnosis and repair process, we will hunt down, diagnose, and fix every bug we can.

Malware can infect the files on your website and is utilized by criminals to use your site and its resources. Search engines downrank sites infected with malware and often run slower than they should. The site’s owner is also likely paying for extra resources malware uses. We find and remove malware as part of our diagnosis and repair service.

A website can be slow for many reasons. Our diagnosis and repair service will isolate what is slowing down the site and either repair, replace, or remove it per your instructions. We also routinely introduce image compression, caching, minimization, and other measures that improve page speeds.

Older sites may be running on out-of-date hardware, an insecure operating system, version of PHP, MySQL, or WordPress. Our diagnosis service can update your webserver where required. We will also ensure you’re using the latest stable software versions. We also ensure we can roll back before we begin the next step in the process.
