wordpress audit

A WordPress audit is a full technical and content review of a WordPress site that surfaces security holes, performance bottlenecks, outdated software, plugin conflicts, and SEO gaps, then turns them into a prioritized list of fixes. A thorough one checks core, plugin, and theme versions, PHP compatibility, database health (orphaned data, runaway revisions, transient bloat), security posture, Core Web Vitals, broken links and redirect chains, structured-data validity, and crawl coverage in Search Console. People usually commission one when taking over a site they didn't build, before a redesign, after a ranking drop, or as a yearly health check. The deliverable is a scored checklist with effort and impact ratings, so whoever does the work tackles the highest-value fixes first instead of getting lost in minor cleanup.
