Gather the Data in a Logical Way

Once you have collected all the data, you must sort data according to priorities. You can simply use a spreadsheet for this. Use columns such as ‘error hyperlink’, ‘error type’, ‘priority status’ etc. to sort all the data you have collected at the time of audit.

Personalization of the Data

Therefore, it’s best to first analyse and correct only the real problems and narrow down your focus to certain specific issues.  Obviously, ‘personalization of data’ is unique to every business, and here are a few pointers that can help you get started:

• Functionality – Looking for the technical errors on site, such as broken links, video and images display issues, page load speed etc.
• Readability – To check if your viewers are actually able to grasp your business idea ‘aesthetically’, such as fixing the readability scale, font size, background colors, catchy headings and subheadings etc.
