How to check an entire website for grammar and spelling mistakes

Updated on 30.06.2024

According to recent studies, almost 97% of people admit that grammar mistakes affect their perceptions of companies and websites. 

Additionally, not only can spelling and grammar mistakes discourage users from revisiting your site, but they can also harm its search engine optimization.
