Website audits for WordPress sites
Keeping your website running smoothly isn’t just about how it looks—there’s a lot under the hood that can impact performance, security, and usability. As part of my WordPress site audit, I’ll dig deep into the backend and front end of your site, ensuring it’s set up for success.
Here’s what I’ll cover:
WordPress settings check
It’s easy to overlook the small stuff. Is your timezone set correctly? Have all the important WordPress options been checked off to keep things running smoothly?
Plugin review
Plugins can be fantastic, but too many, outdated, or conflicting plugins can weigh your site down. I’ll check if you’ve got any “chubby” or old plugins slowing things up, and recommend alternatives where needed.
Backup and security check
A backup can be a lifesaver if something goes wrong. I’ll check to see if your site’s protected from attacks and backed up regularly to keep your data safe.
Google integration
If you’ve ever wondered whether Google Analytics or Google Search Console is set up right, I’ll take a look to make sure your site is properly connected to these essential tools.
Crawling issues
Sometimes, simple issues stop Google and other search engines from crawling your site. I’ll review any blockages that could be limiting your visibility online.
Basic SEO review
SEO goes beyond just keywords. I’ll make sure your site’s SEO fundamentals are in place so it’s easy for search engines to understand.
Site speed and next-gen images
A slow site can put people off before they even see what you’re offering. I’ll identify any speed issues and suggest solutions—including upgrading to next-gen image formats like WebP or AVIF, which load faster and keep your site looking sharp without slowing it down.
Hosting analysis
Your hosting setup can make a big difference in how your site performs. I’ll check if your hosting plan is suitable for your needs, including factors like speed, uptime, and resources. If there’s room for improvement, I’ll recommend options to keep your site performing at its best.
Conversion flow
Your website should guide visitors towards key actions. I’ll check if the content flows naturally and if your calls to action are clear and well-placed.
