Field cards
Print it. Pin it. Fix it faster.
Five one-page reference cards for the problems that come up again and again: a site that will not load, status codes, Core Web Vitals, backups and email authentication. Free to print, share and pin by the desk. No signup.
FC-01 to FC-05
The cards
- FC-01 / Triage
Is your website down?
A 60-second triage map. Work from the top and stop at the first check that fails: the box it points to is where you fix it.
- FC-02 / Status codes
HTTP status codes
Every code a site owner meets, grouped by who has the problem, with the right SEO choice for redirects, deleted pages and maintenance.
- FC-03 / Speed
Core Web Vitals
The three numbers Google scores you on, where good turns to poor, and the four usual causes and fixes for each.
- FC-04 / Backups
3-2-1 backups
What a full WordPress backup includes, how many copies to keep and where, and a quarterly restore log to fill in.
- FC-05 / Email
Email authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC on one sheet: what each checks, where it lives, how alignment works, and the Gmail and Yahoo sender rules.
- KIT-01 to KIT-08 / Bug-Out Bag
Want the full checklists?
The cards are the quick reference. The Bug-Out Bag has the step by step one-page checklists: backup plan, hack recovery, pre-launch, switching hosts, store fraud, site takeover, monthly maintenance and a renewals register.
How to use them
Paper still works when the site does not.

By the desk, in the office, or in the folder you hand a client at launch. Share it with anyone who looks after a site.

Keep the dark one on screen
Open it on a second monitor during a fix, or drop it into team chat. Please keep the Web Design Survivalist footer on the card.
