FAQ - Audit questions
Have questions about our WordPress audit process? Here are the most common ones.
What access do you need to perform the audit?
We need WordPress admin access and ideally hosting panel access (cPanel, Plesk, or equivalent). For deeper analysis, we may request SFTP access and database access. All access is used solely for the audit and credentials are deleted afterward.
Will the audit affect my live site?
No. Our audit process is non-invasive and read-only. We don't make any changes to your site during the audit. Performance testing is conducted carefully to avoid impacting real users.
How often should I get a WordPress audit?
We recommend a comprehensive audit annually, or whenever you're experiencing issues, planning major changes, or taking over a site from another developer. Maintenance clients receive ongoing monitoring that catches most issues.
Can you fix the issues you find?
Absolutely. We can provide remediation services to fix identified issues, either as a one-time project or as part of an ongoing maintenance plan. Many clients combine the audit with a remediation package.
What if I have a WooCommerce store?
Our E-commerce Audit includes everything in the Standard Audit plus WooCommerce-specific analysis: payment processing, checkout optimization, product data, shipping configuration, and revenue-impacting issues.
