WordPress Site Audit
Know Exactly Where Your Site Stands.
Not sure what your WordPress site needs first? Our site audit reviews it end to end and gives you a written report plus a call to walk through a prioritized roadmap. It is the easiest way to start working with AlphaWeb.
Who This Is For
Sites that need a clear plan before more work goes in.
Teams inheriting a site
A new team or owner taking over a WordPress site they did not build. We review the theme code, plugins, user roles and backups so you know what you have.
Sites planning a redesign or migration
Organizations deciding what to keep before they rebuild or move. The report covers performance, SEO, site structure and hosting so the plan starts from facts.
Owners who want a second opinion
Site owners who want an outside review. The audit is review only, nothing changes unless you ask, and the report and roadmap are yours to keep.
What You Get
Clear answers, not a pile of scan results.
A written report
Every finding explained in plain language, with the evidence and a recommended fix.
A prioritized roadmap call
A call with our team to rank fixes by impact and effort and plan next steps.
No obligation
Act on the report with your own team or with AlphaWeb. The roadmap is yours.
What We Review
Six areas that decide how a WordPress site performs.
Performance
Core Web Vitals, page weight, caching, database queries and server response.
Security
Core, theme and plugin versions, user roles, logins, backups and hardening.
Accessibility
Key templates checked against WCAG 2.2 AA with automated and manual testing.
SEO
Indexing, titles and descriptions, structured data, redirects and site structure.
Code and plugin review
Theme code quality, plugin count and overlap, and upgrade risks.
Hosting
Hosting setup, PHP version, uptime, backups and room to grow.
