Why is a WordPress audit crucial?

Running a site on WordPress without regular audits can lead to all sorts of problems. In my work, I often come across sites with degraded performance, vulnerable to hacking attacks, and poor search engine visibility. WordPress audit allows these problems to be identified and remedied.

Elements of a WordPress audit

Every WordPress audit consists of several key elements. Among the most important are:

• Security analysis: I check that the website is secured against potential threats. I also verify that all plugins and themes are up to date.
• Performance optimisation: I analyse the page load time and identify areas where speed can be improved. I also monitor the use of server resources.
• SEO compliance assessment: I check that the website is optimised for search engines. I suggest improvements that can increase its visibility in search results.
• Content overview: I analyse the quality and structure of the content on the site, indicating what changes could increase user engagement.

What does the WordPress audit process look like?

The audit process consists of several stages aimed at thoroughly analysing the site and making the necessary changes:

• Preliminary assessment: Initially, I carry out an initial technical assessment of the site.
• A thorough analysis: I then proceed with a detailed audit, covering all key areas.
• Development of the report: I prepare a report with all the problems found and recommendations for fixing them.
• Implementing change: Finally, together with the client, I implement the suggested improvements.

Tools used in WordPress audits

When carrying out audits, I use a variety of tools to help analyse the site thoroughly:

• Google Analytics: Analysis of user behaviour on the website.
• Google Search Console: Monitoring website performance in search engines.
• GTmetrix: Analysis of page loading speed and tips for optimisation.
• Wordfence: A tool to protect the site from attacks.

A WordPress audit is an extremely important part of keeping your site running smoothly. A secure, fast and well-optimised website attracts more users and ensures better visibility in search engines. So it's worth checking it regularly to avoid problems and enjoy it to its full potential.
