Why is a WordPress audit essential?

When I conduct an audit of a WordPress site, I carefully analyse all aspects of its performance. Such an audit includes checking security, loading speed, SEO compliance and overall performance. Below, I outline why you should make sure you have regular audits:

• Increasing safety: Protecting your site from attacks and malware.
• Improving charging speeds: Results in a better user experience.
• SEO compatibility: Increased visibility in search engines.
• Performance: Code and plug-in optimisation.

Benefits of regular maintenance of your WordPress site

Regular care of your WordPress site is key to its effectiveness and security. As part of such care, I offer:

• Continuous updating themes and plug-ins, minimising the risk of overloads and failures.
• Monitoring and deletion of unnecessary files, which has a positive effect on productivity.
• Regular backupswhich ensure data security.

Main elements of a WordPress audit

A WordPress audit includes several key steps to help identify and fix problems on the site.

• Security analysis: Security vulnerability checking and patch implementation.
• Speed optimisation: Analysis of page load times and suggestions for speeding up.
• SEO check: By examining compliance with SEO best practices, I improve the visibility of the site in search engines.

What elements affect the performance of a WordPress site?

The proper configuration of the various elements of a WordPress site is crucial to its performance. In the audit, I focus on:

• Plug-ins: I analyse whether the installed plug-ins are necessary and how they affect performance.
• Themes: I check that the theme used is optimised for speed.
• Database: I analyse and optimise the database to avoid speed drops.

How often should I audit my WordPress site?

To ensure the highest level of performance and security, I recommend an audit at least quarterly. Regular auditing helps to keep the site in great shape and to implement the latest patches and optimisations.
