🌳 Digital Health Check #32

Do you know what third-party tools are connected to your website? 🤔

Your website might be connected to more outside services than you realize.

Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, appointment scheduling, payment processors, email marketing platforms, chat widgets, and more.

These tools can be incredibly useful, but it’s important to know what’s connected, what each tool does, and whether you still need it.

Over time, businesses change. Tools get replaced, subscriptions expire, and old integrations can be forgotten.

Some may even continue collecting data or affect how your website performs.

🔎 This week’s simple action:

Take inventory of the third-party tools connected to your website. If you find something unfamiliar or no longer in use, investigate what it does before removing it.

A healthy digital presence starts with knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. 💚

⏳ Waiting is an experience too.

When someone visits your website, they’re usually trying to do something: learn about your services, find information, book an appointment, fill out a form, or figure out how to contact you.

If pages load slowly, images take forever to appear, or the site feels clunky on their phone, that becomes part of their experience with your business.

Website performance isn’t just about getting a good score on a speed test. It’s about making it easy for people to get where they’re trying to go.

Take a minute today and visit your own website like a customer would. Try it on your phone. Click around. See how it feels.

Fast. Smooth. Responsive. That’s part of good service too. 🌳

💻 You shouldn’t need a tech dictionary to run your business.
Hosting notices. Domain settings. Software recommendations. DNS changes. Security alerts. Updates you’re told are “required” without much explanation about what they actually mean.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t fixing the technology. It’s figuring out what needs your attention in the first place.
That’s part of what we do at HayTree.
We help small businesses make sense of the technical side in plain English, understand their options, and figure out what actually makes sense for their business.
So the next time a tech-related email leaves you staring at your screen thinking, “Okay...what does THAT mean?” 😵‍💫
Bring it to us. 🌳
You run the business. We’ll help make sense of the tech.

🔐 A strong password isn’t enough.
You can create the longest, most complicated password in the world, but if you use that same password across multiple accounts, one compromised login can put the others at risk too.
A few simple habits can make a big difference:
• Use a unique password for every account.
• Use a password manager so you don’t have to remember them all.
• Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever it’s available.
Cybersecurity doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s about fixing the small habits that create big vulnerabilities.
Strong. Unique. MFA on. 🔐🌳

I asked ONE question. 😂

Somewhere between “Why is this website slow?” and “PHP workers,” I realized I had made a terrible mistake.

Curt knows his stuff. And when you get him going on the technical side of something, you’re going to get the WHOLE answer. 😂

Meanwhile, I’m usually somewhere around:

“Okay… so what does all of that mean in regular people words?”

The funny part is, we both work directly with our clients. We just approach problems differently, and sometimes that means one of us is translating for the other.

Apparently, today it was my turn. 😂

Happy Friday from HayTree! 💙💚

**Can everyone who visits your website actually use it?**

Website accessibility means thinking about people who may interact with your site differently.

Someone may use a screen reader. Someone may navigate with a keyboard instead of a mouse. Someone may have difficulty seeing low-contrast text, hearing audio, or understanding a form that isn’t clearly labeled.

Small things can create big barriers.

Alt text for meaningful images, readable color contrast, clear headings, properly labeled forms, keyboard-friendly navigation, and captions for video can all help make the web more usable for more people.

**Try this:** Open your website and use only the **Tab key** to move around the page. Can you tell where you are? Can you reach the menu, links, buttons, and forms without touching your mouse?

It’s a simple test that can reveal accessibility issues you may never have noticed.

Accessibility isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about making sure the people you want to reach can actually access what you’ve built. 💙💚

🌳 Digital Health Check #31: Have you checked your website for accessibility issues?

**Your social media is doing one job. Your website should be doing another. 👀**

Social media is great for getting discovered, starting conversations, showing some personality, and staying connected with your audience.

Your website has a different job.

It’s where someone goes when they want to dig deeper. What do you actually offer? Can I trust this business? How do I work with you? Where can I find the information I need?

And there’s another important difference:

You’re building your social presence on someone else’s platform. Algorithms change. Reach changes. Features change. The rules can change tomorrow.

Your website is a digital space you control.

So no, your website doesn’t need to look or behave like your Instagram feed. And your Instagram doesn’t need to do everything your website does.

**Different tools. Different jobs. Stronger together.** 💙💚

AI-generated content is getting harder to spot, and the old tricks aren’t always enough anymore.

Extra fingers, weird text, strange shadows? Those clues can still happen, but AI is improving fast. Something can look completely believable and still be false.

So instead of asking only, “Does this look like AI?” try asking:

🔎 Who originally posted it?
🔗 Can I find the original source?
📰 Are credible sources reporting the same thing?
📅 Is the image, video, or information being shared in the right context?

And when you’re unsure, don’t let likes, shares, or comments convince you that something must be real. A viral post is not the same thing as a verified one.

AI changed the internet. Our habits have to change too.

“It was just one little update.”

Famous last words. 😂

Most updates go exactly as planned.

And then there’s that one.

That’s why website maintenance is more than clicking the update button. Backups, compatibility checks, and knowing what to do when something decides not to cooperate are all part of keeping a website healthy.

Because sometimes “Everything good?” has a very different answer five seconds later. 😅
