What is a WordPress audit and why is it important?
A WordPress audit is a comprehensive analysis of your site for performance, security and SEO optimisation. Regular auditing ensures that your site runs smoothly, is safe from threats and effectively visible in Google search results. In short, an audit is a key step to maintaining the quality and effectiveness of your online presence.
As part of the audit, I check, among other things:
- Page loading speed and server optimisation
- Themes and plug-ins up to date
- Security of your site, including protection against attacks
- Content optimisation for SEO
- Database status and performance
How does a WordPress audit affect SEO?
Optimising a site as part of a WordPress audit is crucial for SEO. Correctly optimised pages load faster, which has a positive impact on their ranking in Google search results. In addition, the audit allows you to identify and fix errors that may affect the performance of your site and, therefore, its SEO.
- Removal of unnecessary plug-ins and themes
- Comprehensive image optimisation
- Improving the internal link structure
- Improving navigation and user experience (UX)
An SEO audit also includes keyword analysis, checking the quality of content, optimising meta tags and improving the structure of the H1, H2, H3 headings on the page. In articles and blogs, it is particularly important to use keywords in the right places to maximise the visibility of the page.
Site security with a WordPress audit
Security is one of the most important aspects that are checked during a WordPress audit. Protecting your site from malware, DDoS attacks, injections and other threats is key to ensuring its stability and continuous operation.
During the audit, I pay particular attention to:
- Updates to WordPress, themes and plug-ins
- Secure passwords and login methods
- Server and database security
- Implementation of SSL and TLS
By implementing appropriate preventive measures and regularly monitoring security, you can avoid potential problems that could lead to loss of data or site availability.
Optimisation of page load speed
Page loading speed is not only a matter of user convenience, but also an important ranking factor in Google. Fast-loading pages are more likely to rank higher in search results, which effectively translates into more traffic and a better user experience.
As part of the WordPress audit, I optimise:
- Size and compression of media files
- Plug-ins for page caching
- Minification of JavaScript and CSS code
- Support for HTTP/2 requests
All of these elements are aimed at reducing page load times, which affects user satisfaction and encourages users to stay on your site longer.
Summary of the WordPress audit
In summary, a WordPress audit is an essential tool to improve the performance, security and SEO of your site. Regular audits and implementation of the recommendations discovered will ensure that your site not only performs well, but also delivers the intended business benefits.
