Form test · Free
How long does your website take to answer?
I send one ordinary enquiry through your website’s form and time the first real reply. Free, nothing to install, and the result is yours by email inside three working days.
What it is costing you
The first answer sets the comparison
Somebody who fills in your form on a Tuesday evening has usually filled in two or three. The first reply they get becomes the standard the others are measured against, and the one that arrives the next afternoon is answering a question they have already settled.
Almost nobody knows their own number. The form sends, a thank-you screen appears, and what happens after that happens in an inbox nobody is timing.
Some forms do not send at all. The screen still says thank you and the message goes nowhere, and you find out from the enquiries that never came. I wrote about why nobody checks in what happens after somebody hits submit.
What you get
What comes back
In the result
- The time to your first real reply. From the moment the form sends to the first answer from a person. An automatic acknowledgement is noted and does not count.
- Whether the form delivered at all. If nothing comes back in two working days, that is the finding.
- What the reply said, and how it arrived. Email, call or text, and what it asked of me.
- What it looks like answered inside a minute. A reply from your own address while they are still on the page, and the enquiry on your phone so a person can answer sooner.
The price
What it costs
FreeOne test per business. Nothing to sign up for and nothing that renews.
How it goes
One enquiry, sent once
- You send me the website. Nothing else: no logins and nothing to install.
- Within one working day I send one ordinary enquiry through your form, under my own name. No invented emergency.
- I wait two working days for the first real reply, and time it.
- You get the result by email inside three working days. It is yours to keep, and it asks nothing of you.
Straight answers
The three things you are thinking
Will whoever answers know it is a test.
No, and that is the point. It reads like any other enquiry, so you see what a stranger sees. It asks for nothing that costs more than a reply.
What if the number is good.
Then I tell you so, and you have a number to keep. A fast reply is worth knowing about as much as a slow one.
What happens after.
Nothing, unless you ask. If the number is bad, the fix is the instant reply: every enquiry answered inside a minute, from your own address, and your forms checked every morning.
