Why is a regular WordPress audit essential?

Conducting regular WordPress audits is key to ensuring optimal site performance. An audit involves analysing many aspects of the site, such as loading speed, plugins used, security, SEO optimisation and compliance with the latest versions of WordPress.

Page loading speed

One of the main aspects I look at during an audit is the loading speed of the website. Websites these days need to load instantly. This not only affects the user experience, but also SEO positioning in search engines.

• Image optimisation - Removal of unnecessary EXIF data and compression of images.
• Minification of CSS and JavaScript files - Reduce file size without losing functionality.
• Use of cache plug-ins - Speed up the loading process by storing a copy of the page.

Site security

Security audit is another key aspect. Security verification allows potential vulnerabilities to be identified and appropriate countermeasures to be implemented to make the site resistant to attacks.

As part of the safety audit, I propose:

• Plugin and theme updates - I will ensure that I use the latest versions of all elements of the website.
• Database backup - Regular backups of the entire site.
• Security scans - Regular scanning for viruses and malware.

SEO content optimisation

SEO optimisation is an integral part of any WordPress audit. A well-optimised site is more likely to rank high in search engines, leading to more traffic.

As part of SEO optimisation, I offer:

• Keyword analysis - Identify the best keywords for your industry.
• Content Management - Improving content to make it more SEO friendly.
• Internal and external linking - Optimising linking strategies.

Compatibility with WordPress updates

Every WordPress-based site needs to be updated regularly. New versions of WordPress bring security fixes and new functionality that can significantly improve site performance.

I make sure that your site is always compatible with the latest versions of WordPress as well as plugins and themes, ensuring security and reliability.

Regular WordPress audit is an investment that pays off, providing security, optimisation and better search engine results. For more detailed information on the benefits of regular updates, I encourage you to read the article What are the benefits of regular WordPress updates?.
