Broken car with smoking engine – website technical issues metaphor

Think of your website like a car

From the outside it looks fine. But under the hood there might be old oil, worn tires or clogged filters. An audit is the technical inspection that shows what's really going on inside.

Without an audit

  • ✕You don't know if the site is secure
  • ✕Visitors leave – you don't know why
  • ✕You pay for ads, but they convert poorly
  • ✕Your developer says "all good" – but how do you verify?
  • ✕Problems pile up until something breaks

With an audit

  • Clear risk report – in black and white
  • You know what stops visitors and sales
  • Ads work better – the site doesn't break conversions
  • You have an objective review to show your team
  • You fix what has the biggest impact first
Like a doctor's visit

An audit is a health check for your website

We check 4 main health areas – no complex jargon, just clear explanations.

Security = immunity

We check if your site can resist hackers and malware.

Speed = pulse

We measure if your site is fast enough so visitors stay.

Plugins = vitamins

We verify all WordPress components are fresh and updated.

Diagnosis = prescription

You get a clear list of what to treat first – no fluff.

Report example

One number that tells the whole story

Every audited site gets a clear risk score from 0 to 100. You instantly see whether everything is fine or you need to act now.

  • 0–30: Green – site is healthy
  • 30–60: Yellow – worth fixing
  • 60–100: Red – act now

Risk score: 72/100

Example: how a real site's risk evaluation looks in the report.

Silent problems we find most often

A site can look fine while risks quietly pile up underneath:

  • The site loads slowly on mobile.
  • WordPress plugins or the theme lag behind current versions.
  • Basic security headers are missing.
  • No clear HSTS, CSP or framing protection.
  • Cookies or CORS settings may be too permissive.
  • Images, JS and CSS files block first-screen rendering.
  • Visitors leave before they even see the main content.

What the audit shows

The audit automatically checks the site across multiple layers and produces a report you don't need to be a developer to read — it works for executives and marketers too.

Risk score

An overall technical health rating with risk levels: critical, high, medium, low or informational.

Security signals

We check HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, CORS, security headers, cookies, publicly exposed files and other baseline security signals.

WordPress maintenance

We identify WordPress core, plugin and theme version signals, outdated component risks and maintenance priorities.

Performance & Core Web Vitals

We evaluate LCP, FCP, CLS, mobile speed, page weight, JS/CSS blocking, caching and image optimisation.

Mobile UX

We verify the site is mobile-friendly: no horizontal scroll, no tap-targets that are too small, no aggressive popups or first-screen blockers.

Prioritised action plan

Not a theoretical checklist — a prioritised plan: what to fix first, why it matters and what impact to expect.

Not a generic checklist — a concrete diagnostic of your site

The audit report contains concrete findings with examples, evidence and recommendations. On one WordPress site, for example, we found:

  • mobile LCP over 5 seconds;
  • JS/CSS files blocking first-screen rendering;
  • unoptimised images;
  • weak or non-existent CSP policy;
  • HSTS not enabled;
  • overly permissive CORS configuration;
  • outdated WordPress plugin;
  • several cookies without the HttpOnly attribute.

That makes it easy to separate cosmetic noise from issues that actually affect visitor trust, conversions or site security.

Who is this audit for?

This audit is for companies that use WordPress as their main website, lead-generation channel or sales tool.

  • Companies that generate inquiries through their website.
  • B2B service businesses.
  • E-commerce or catalogue sites running WooCommerce.
  • Companies whose site was built 1–5 years ago.
  • Marketing teams driving paid traffic to the site.
  • Executives who want to know if the site is technically sound.
  • Agencies or IT teams that want an objective technical review.

The longer WordPress goes unmaintained, the more expensive it gets to fix

WordPress sites rarely fail because of one big mistake — they fail because of small things piling up: outdated plugins, missing headers, slow hosting, unoptimised images, heavy JavaScript or a messy mobile view.

A single audit quickly answers three questions:

  • Does the site have security or configuration risks?
  • Are technical issues lowering conversions?
  • What should be fixed first to stop firing blindly?
