Vital Signs: Is Your Website Healthy or on Life Support?

Ever wondered how long you'll be around?

Imagine if there was a quick test to determine your lifespan. Well, there is!

Predicting Human Longevity: The Sitting Rising Test (SRT)

Developed by a doctor, the Sitting Rising Test (SRT) is designed to gauge your life expectancy.

The simple idea behind it: can you transition from a standing position to sitting and then back up without losing your balance or using your arms, hands, or knees for support?

Here's how the SRT works:

  • Don't worry about speed

  • Cross your feet

  • Sit down on the floor without losing balance

  • With feet still crossed, try to rise without using any limbs for support

Scoring ranges from 0 to 10. Deductions apply for each support limb used or if there's a visible loss of balance.

Amazingly, for every point you earn, there's a 21% DECREASE in mortality from all causes.

If you're over 50 and score a perfect 10, you’re a rare bird. You deserve a pat on the back!

What If Websites Had Their Own SRT?

1. Identity Check

Does your site show your brand personality?

2. Profit Pointers

Is your most profitable product front and center on the homepage?

3. Lead GENERATORS

Are you collecting prospective customer details, like email addresses?

4. Clarity in 10

Can a visitor grasp what you offer in 10 seconds or less?

5. Conversational Tone

Do you use more “you” pronouns than “we” to engage your audience?

6. SEO Savvy

Have you structured your pages and headlines for search engine love?

7. Clear Path

Can prospects swiftly find the starting point to engage with you?

8. Seamless Transactions

If you accept online payments, is the journey a breeze?

9. Content Pulse

Do you have a content section (ex: blog, vlog, podcast) that’s alive and kicking?

10. Value Adds

Do you serve downloadable content, offering added value to visitors?

Getting Stronger

Much like the SRT for humans, a high score for your website means it's brimming with life and ready to convert new customers.

A low score might hint it's time for some digital CPR.

Whether it's your own physical well-being or the health of your digital presence, regular checks and balances are essential.

So, how did you and your website score?
