Start with these three fixes

01 Give your images a lighter footprint

What we found: In this example, the main photo is larger than it needs to be.

Why it matters: Large downloads make mobile visitors wait.

What to do: Resize the image to its display size and export it in a modern compressed format.

02 Make the phone number tappable

What we found: The example phone number is plain text.

Why it matters: Visitors have to copy it to make a call.

What to do: Add a clearly labelled telephone link near the top of the page.

03 Explain each page to search engines

What we found: The example pages share a generic title.

Why it matters: It is harder to tell the pages apart in search results.

What to do: Give each page a descriptive title matching its content. This does not guarantee a search ranking.

This is a fictional example to show the layout, not a completed scan. Website checks assess the website, not workmanship or business reliability.

FAIR CHECKS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

A few things
worth knowing.

How are websites checked?

Checks are run by the MattG website checker. Its report shows the checks and results for your website. Automated checks can miss things or flag something that does not apply. Lab performance scores vary between runs and do not measure every visitor’s experience.

Do you also sell the fixes?

Yes. Matthew Goodwin operates Up To Scratch and offers website rebuilds and care through MattG. You can use your report without buying anything. Buying a service never buys a ranking or badge.

Are you ranking tradies?

We rank websites, not tradies. The scoreboards order a trade’s websites by mobile speed score, using the middle of three test runs, and each one shows its method and dates. A score is not a measure of workmanship, licensing, reliability or customer satisfaction. Any business listed can ask for a free re-scan, a correction or removal.

What if something is wrong?

Email hello@uptoscratch.au for a correction, a free re-scan or removal. Say which website it is and what is wrong. You do not have to buy a service or subscribe to marketing.

What happens to my information?

This page does not collect enquiries or take payments, and has no analytics or marketing cookies. The website address you enter is sent to the MattG checker on mattg.com.au, which runs the checks and sends the results back to this page; MattG’s own privacy information applies there. The address also appears in this page’s link, so a report can be shared. Hosting providers may process ordinary request logs. Do not enter private URLs, credentials or sensitive information.
