Grade Your Church Website in 60 Seconds

Yes, completely free. Enter your church website URL, your church name, and an email address to receive the full report. There is no credit card required and no obligation to purchase anything. We believe every church deserves to know how their website is performing — regardless of size or budget. The full detailed report emailed to you is also free of charge.

Our grader runs automated checks across over 50 individual factors organized into six key categories: mobile responsiveness, page speed, SEO basics, SSL security, accessibility, and user experience. After you submit your URL, our system crawls your site and runs each test simultaneously, then calculates a weighted score for each category and an overall grade. Within 60 seconds the score appears on screen, and a full PDF-style report is emailed to the address you provide.

We consider scores of 85 and above to be strong — these sites are likely performing well across all categories and serving visitors effectively. Scores between 70 and 84 indicate solid fundamentals with meaningful room for improvement. Scores below 70 suggest significant issues that may be actively preventing visitors from finding or engaging with your church online. Based on our data, most churches we test score between 55 and 75 before making targeted improvements with our help.

The most common issues we identify are slow page load times caused by unoptimized images, missing meta descriptions and title tags that hurt Google rankings, poor mobile layouts that frustrate smartphone users, missing or expired SSL certificates that show security warnings, lack of alt text on images that hurts both accessibility and SEO, and confusing navigation that makes it difficult for first-time visitors to find service times or contact information. The good news is that most of these issues are fixable within days once identified.

After receiving your grade, review the category-by-category breakdown and start with the lowest-scoring areas first. Quick wins include compressing images to improve page speed, writing descriptive meta title and description tags for each page, ensuring your site has a valid SSL certificate, and adding alt text to all images. For a complete guided improvement plan, book a free 30-minute strategy call with our team — we specialize in helping churches fix exactly these issues quickly and affordably. Many churches see dramatic score improvements within 30 days.

We recommend grading your church website every quarter, or anytime you make significant changes to the site such as a redesign, new hosting provider, or major content overhaul. Web technology standards evolve quickly — Google's ranking signals, SSL certificate requirements, and mobile usability standards all shift over time. Regular grading ensures your site stays fast, secure, accessible, and visible to people in your community who are searching for a church home. Set a recurring reminder to run the grader every 90 days.
