Audit & optimize your site

Stage 4. Before your site goes public, Claude carefully reviews it across desktop and mobile — accessibility, SEO basics, speed, links, and content — and fixes what it finds. In the Desktop app it can open your preview and click through the pages for real, not just read the code.

The big picture

You’ve been close to your site for a while, so it’s easy to miss things. This stage checks accessibility, SEO basics, speed, broken links, leftover placeholder text, and the mobile layout — then fixes the issues. It’s what turns “looks good” into “genuinely solid.”

Paste this into Claude Code

Audit & optimize my site

Let's do Stage 4 — audit and optimize my whole website, then fix what you find. Please check and report on:

1. MOBILE & DESKTOP — everything looks and works well on phones and on computers; the menu collapses
   nicely on small screens; buttons are easy to tap.
2. ACCESSIBILITY — good color contrast, readable font sizes, image alt text, keyboard-friendly.
3. SEO BASICS — every page has a clear title and description and one main heading.
4. PERFORMANCE — images optimized; nothing making the site slow.
5. LINKS & CONTENT — no broken links, no leftover placeholder text, spelling and grammar clean.
6. POLISH — a favicon from my logo, a friendly 404 page, and my real contact details everywhere.

Give me a short summary of what you found, fix the issues, save a snapshot, and flag anything that needs
my decision.

Do a “fresh eyes” read yourself

Open your site and read the homepage out loud, slowly, like you’ve never seen it. Does it instantly say what you do and who it’s for? Is the next step obvious? Tell Claude to fix anything that fails that test.

Then resist over-tweaking

Once it’s audited and reads clearly, you’re ready. “Live and good” beats “perfect and invisible.” You can keep polishing forever after launch — and you’ll know exactly how.

End of Module 5 — your site is launch-ready

Your website is built, audited, and polished — fast, accessible, mobile-friendly, and clear. It’s ready to meet the world. Next: put it online.

If you get stuck

Audit flags something you don’t understand? Ask Claude: “Explain that like I’m not technical, and tell me if it actually matters for my small business site.” Not every flag is worth fixing before launch.
