How many of these errors are currently on your website?
Even minor errors can have major consequences. Short-term? Typos can skyrocket bounce rates. Visitors might leave your site immediately, viewing it as unreliable. Those who stay? They might think twice about making a purchase.
Long-term effects are just as dire. Your brand’s reputation could suffer. SEO rankings might drop. Ultimately, you could see a decline in visitors and visibility.

Sure, you could opt for an alternative proofreading tool. Many of them are excellent for enhancing your writing. However, when it comes to maintaining an error-free website, these tools have their drawbacks. Unless the tool is used consistently each time a change is made and by every individual with access to making changes, errors will eventually appear.
