Spring isn’t just for organizing closets — it’s the perfect time to refresh your digital presence too. After the Easter campaigns and seasonal promos wind down, Q2 offers a golden opportunity to optimize your website for better performance, user experience, and visibility.
At R Digital, we believe that regular digital “cleanups” can lead to stronger conversions, better rankings, and happier visitors. Here’s your go-to guide to spring clean your website and start Q2 strong.
1. Clean Up Your Website’s Content
- Remove outdated promos & banners: Easter sales are over — replace them with fresh offers or evergreen content.
- Update product/service pages:Â Ensure pricing, descriptions, and visuals reflect your current offerings.
- Audit your blog:Â Merge or remove underperforming posts and repurpose high-performing ones for new channels.
Pro Tip:Â Use Google Analytics or Search Console to identify pages with low engagement or high bounce rates.
2. Speed Things Up
Website speed is not just a nice-to-have — it directly impacts SEO and conversions.
- Compress images & files:Â Large visuals can seriously slow down load times.
- Minimize CSS & JavaScript:Â Less code = faster delivery.
- Audit plugins:Â Remove unused or outdated plugins that may be bloating your site.
Tools to Try:Â Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or WebPageTest.org
3. Refresh UX & Navigation
A great user experience is all about making it easy for your visitors.
- Simplify your menu structure:Â Avoid overwhelming users with too many options.
- Add clear CTAs:Â Guide users toward actions (buy, subscribe, contact).
- Ensure mobile-friendliness: Over 50% of web traffic is mobile — your site must work beautifully on all screens.
UX Check:Â Ask a friend or colleague to browse your site and give honest feedback on their experience.
4. Boost SEO Health
After spring cleaning your content and UX, make sure search engines can find (and love) your updates.
- Fix broken links:Â They hurt SEO and frustrate users.
- Optimize meta titles & descriptions:Â Keep them compelling, relevant, and keyword-rich.
- Update alt text for images:Â Especially important for accessibility and SEO.
Don’t forget: Re-submit your updated sitemap to Google Search Console!
5. Evaluate Your Tech Stack
Is your website platform, CMS, or integrations still working for you?
- Upgrade outdated software or plugins
- Check tracking tools like Google Analytics 4 or Facebook Pixel for accuracy
- Review security protocols — Q2 is a good time to install updates and ensure everything’s protected
