Your website can be broken right now.
And look perfectly fine.
Last week, mine was.
I updated 16 plugins. Every update said “success.” The homepage loaded. Nothing looked wrong.
But behind the scenes, all 16 had switched off. My contact form. My chat button. My SEO. My analytics.
For 20 minutes, anyone who tried to reach me would have hit a dead end.
And here’s the part that bothers me most:
I would never have known they tried.
No error. No email. No missed call. Just a potential client who quietly gave up and went to someone else.
I only caught it because I happened to be checking something else.
Most business owners don’t check. They find out weeks later, when someone says, “I tried to contact you…”
Or they never find out at all.
So here’s my one piece of advice this week:
Every Monday, send yourself a test enquiry through your own website.
30 seconds. That’s it.
If it doesn’t arrive, you’ve found the problem before your customers did.
Be honest: if your contact form stopped working today, how long would it take you to notice? 👇
