Inherited a site?

Signs your site needs an audit

  • 01

    Nobody knows how it works

    The original developer is gone, and there is no documentation or version control.

  • 02

    Every fix breaks something

    Small changes cause errors elsewhere, so the team avoids touching the code.

  • 03

    Slow and getting slower

    Pages and admin screens slow down as content and plugins grow.

  • 04

    Security worries

    Outdated plugins, old PHP and unknown admin users make the site an easy target.

  • 05

    Rebuild or repair?

    You have quotes for a full rebuild but do not know if the site really needs one.

  • 06

    Before a takeover

    You are buying a business or switching agencies and need to know what you inherit.

How We Work

How the audit works

We never work on your live site during an audit.
  1. Access

    You share a staging copy or read-only access, and we sign an NDA if needed. 1-2 days.
  2. Code review

    Developers review code, database and configuration on the copy. 2-10 days, depending on the package.
  3. Testing

    Performance, security and checkout tests run on the copy, not on your live store.
  4. Report

    A written report with findings ranked by risk and an effort estimate for each fix.
  5. Walkthrough

    A call to go through the findings. We can fix the issues, or your team can use the report.
Step one is a 30-minute consultation. Book a call

FAQ

Code audit FAQ

What to expect from an audit and what happens after.

What does a WordPress code audit include?

A review of theme and plugin code, security, performance, WooCommerce flows and technical SEO. You get a report ranked by risk with effort estimates.

How long does an audit take?

A quick audit takes 3-5 days, a full code audit 1-2 weeks and a pre-rebuild audit 2-3 weeks.

Will the audit affect our live site?

No. We work on a staging copy or with read-only access.

Do we have to hire you to fix the issues?

No. The report is written so any developer can use it. If you want us to fix them, you get a fixed quote.

Should we rebuild or repair our site?

It depends on the code, not the age of the site. The pre-rebuild audit compares both options with real costs.

What access do you need?

Ideally a staging copy, the code repository and read-only admin access. We sign an NDA before access if you need one.
