Why website health matters for nonprofits
Your website is where donors give, where participants find services, and where funders read your story before a decision. When it is slow, broken, or down, the cost is measured in lost gifts and lost trust. Website health also decays quietly: a new plugin, an expired certificate, or a stray redirect rarely announces itself.
What to check on a nonprofit website
A nonprofit website has three jobs: take a gift, point someone at a service, and convince a funder who reads it before a meeting. Every check below is a way one of those jobs quietly fails. None of them requires a developer to read the result.
Start with the four that fail loudest
- Is it up? Request the homepage and read the status code and response time. Anything other than a 2xx response is a down site, whatever the page looks like on your own machine.
- Is the certificate valid? An expired SSL certificate replaces your site with a browser warning. Check the issuer and the days remaining, and renew when it drops under 30.
- How fast is it on a phone? Run Google PageSpeed for mobile. Donors and event-goers arrive from a phone, and the score there is usually lower than on desktop.
- How fast is it on desktop? Run the same test for desktop, where staff and funders read it. When the two diverge, desk testing has been hiding the mobile problem.
Then the seven that fail quietly
- Accessibility. An automated WCAG 2.2 scan finds missing alt text, low contrast, and unlabeled form fields that keep some visitors from donating at all.
- Search basics. Titles, meta descriptions, headings, broken links, sitemap, structured data, and social preview tags decide whether a supporter finds you.
- Security headers and TLS. The handful of browser headers that block common attacks, plus which TLS versions the server still accepts.
- DNS and email authentication. SPF, DMARC, MX, DNSSEC, CAA, and domain expiration. Misconfigured email authentication is the silent reason appeals land in spam.
- Technology stack. Which CMS, plugins, frameworks, and analytics are running, so an outdated dependency is visible before it is exploited.
- A homepage screenshot. So a board member can see what each finding refers to.
- A single 0 to 100 score. One number that rolls the categories together and can be tracked over time.
How often
Uptime is worth checking continuously. The others change when the site changes, so re-run them after a redesign, a plugin update, or a new donate form, and on a schedule if nobody is watching.
