Audit Process

We initiate an audit session as soon as you sign up for our monthly plan. We will look for findings throughout the procedure and get back to you with suggestions.

Here is a checklist of how we perform our audit tasks on your WordPress sites.

1. Set up your site & get connected

We have a dedicated space for our clients to correspond with us. Either you or we will manage backups, notes, and store data here. Our first task involves ensuring access and checking if backups are ready. Without it, changes cannot be made.

2. Hosting Options

If you choose to host with us, we will help you migrate with other steps. We will transfer a copy of the website during migration and put the URL to test first. We also include an SSL certificate.

However, if you are hosting with other providers, we may need to know the following,

Presence of SSL certificate.
Is it possible to obtain remote file and MySQL backups?
The software version supported by the host.
Who is managing the server, is it shared?
Does the site share a hosting environment?

3. Initial site errors

With this service, we look for errors that we need to fix urgently.

We look for,

Site errors and issues that need urgent attention.
We also enable a debug log to see if any errors appear.
Check for server error logs.
Check network request and JavaScript console.
For an eCommerce site, we go through the payment screen.
Try site on mobile

4. Security

It is one of the vital services. It helps us ensures if your site is clean and set up correctly.

We look for,

The malware scan checks files against our internal signature database. We would look for anything suspicious. We immediately address any malware by cleaning up and preventing them from appearing further.
We try finding vulnerabilities within plugins and software.
We will try to find if there are any issues with the software you are using.
Are there any remaining software admin users, database or FTP users, or access enabled by remote unknown IPS?
What permissions do you have in your database configuration? If not set correctly, your database could be accessed by others.
Find out if there are any old versions of adminer.php or other database management software.
Look for security plugin such as Wordfence, Cerber?

5. Data Clean-up

This step aims to remove unnecessary data, historical data or files that are not relevant or used anymore or may introduce complications and risks.

Check for unnecessary plugins and content without any purpose. We do have a backup of everything. It won't harm the live site, though.
We will search for old backups stored.
We need to remove the unnecessary old host-specific addition to the core files.
We also remove un-enabled plugins, inactive themes, plugins with similar activity, plugins not in use, and old cache files.

6. Check Functionality

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer tempor, orci sed congue pretium, massa metus pharetra massa, quis consequat sapien tortor eu libero. Vestibulum ac mauris non ante iaculis molestie. Maecenas sodales ultrices eros vel iaculis. Nullam lobortis eros eget enim sollicitudin luctus. Suspendisse efficitur nibh sit amet lectus mollis, et suscipit justo molestie.

We need to understand and document what the site does clearly. As we move further, we may make changes accordingly in the documentation.

Find and write down the prime or essential functionality.
Find what software or plugins are used.
Check for which part of the website is custom-built.
The history of when the site was built and by whom.
For an eCommerce website, we will check if it takes orders, payment and the software they use.
Do they require IP allows, and what payment providers do they use?
If any plugins or adjustments are edited from the default installation.
Does it have a child theme?
Are any edits made to the central theme?
Look for plugin compatibility issues.

7. Contact Forms and Integrations

We try to figure out if the site couples with any external system such as mailing software, databases, and social media feeds.

8. Update Setup

After we learn the practical details and find out how the site fits together, we will start with initial updates to update the website.

9. Site Performance

A site’s performance is crucial to help them enjoy their experience in the site and attract more organic visitors. Most customers would show up to improve site performance as it helps in the overall growth and ranking of the website.
By now, we have audited the website and cleaned existing bloats to optimise for performance.

We will check for the following,

The existed caching.
Is any web host providing caching?
Do we find the addition of any expired headers
Do we need to minify or compress CSS and JavaScript?
Search for issues, broken links, large images on GTMetrix/ Pingdom.
Work on and optimise performance.
