Warning Signals

Is this happening to your WordPress site-

The four issues that drive most of our audit bookings. If any of them sound familiar, this audit is built for you.

  • 01

    Slow load times

    Mobile users abandon sites that take more than 3 seconds to load. If your Core Web Vitals are in the red, you’re losing visitors before they see your value proposition - and Google is quietly pushing your rankings down because of it.

  • 02

    Poor SEO visibility

    You’ve been told your site “just needs some SEO” but no one can tell you what, specifically. Meta tags, structured data, crawlability, internal linking - each one can silently block ranking. An audit finds which.

  • 03

    Security vulnerabilities

    Outdated plugins, missing patches, weak admin access, exposed files - that’s how most WordPress sites get compromised. An audit catches the vulnerabilities before an attacker does.

  • 04

    Low conversions

    High bounce rate, low form submissions, visitors leaving before they scroll. Something in the funnel is broken - but without a structured audit you’re guessing which of twenty possible causes is the real one.

The deliverable

What you actually get.

A scored PDF report you keep forever - and a 30-minute call to walk through it. No dashboards. No tool logins. A document you can share with stakeholders.

  • Overall WordPress health score
    A single /100 score, calibrated across every check.
  • Category breakdowns
    Performance, security, SEO, conversion, accessibility, technical.
  • Every issue ranked
    By impact and effort to fix. No alphabetical 200-item dumps.
  • Prioritized action plan
    What to fix first, second, third - with expected lift.
  • Competitive benchmark
    Scored against 3 competitors in your space.
  • Executive summary
    One-page recap for decision-makers who don’t need detail.
Plus
30-minute walkthrough call

With the engineer who ran the audit. We review findings, answer your questions, help you plan next steps. There’s no upsell on the call - hiring us for fixes is a separate conversation if you want it.

The checks

The 30-point WordPress audit.

Six categories. Thirty checks. Every one is a manual review by a WordPress engineer - not a one-click scan.

01

Performance & page speed

Is your site actually fast, under real-world conditions-

  • CDN setup and geographic coverage
  • Asset bundling, minification, render-blocking resources

Process

How the audit works.

From booking to walkthrough call - the full process in three steps.

01
Book a 15-minute intake call

Pick a time and share your site URL with any specific concerns. On the call we confirm scope, review access, and answer pre-audit questions. No pitch - the call is purely logistical.

02
We run the audit
5 business days

Manual review across all six categories. Not automated - real WordPress engineers look at your site, your stack, your configuration. Complex setups occasionally need a day or two more; we’ll flag it up front if so.

03
Report + walkthrough

We deliver the scored PDF on day 5 with a calendar link for your 30-minute walkthrough. Findings, prioritization, your questions. You keep the report regardless of whether you hire us for follow-on work.

Pricing
$ 299 . Flat.

One price. One deliverable. No upsells disguised as “additional recommendations”.

Common question

Why not just use a free online tool-

Free tools are great for spot-checking. They’re not great for actually fixing your site. Here’s the honest comparison.

Nik’s team did a redesign of my website and really opened my eyes as far as what was possible. They took the content I had, which was presented in a very old / dated format, and reworked it to make it more accessible. The result is a website that is more aligned with customer expectations and is easier for them…

Methodology

What makes this audit different.

Four principles. Each one cuts against something common in the market.

01

Manual, not automated

Real WordPress engineers review your specific site. Automated tools miss context - they don’t know which plugin you actually use, which CDN you’re on, or why your conversion funnel breaks on step three. Manual catches what scripts can’t.

02

Prioritized, not overwhelming

Every issue is ranked by impact and effort. You get a clear sequence - fix this first, this second, this third - not a 200-item scan dump you don’t know what to do with.

03

Branded PDF, yours to keep

You get a document you can share with your team, your agency, your next developer, or your board. Not a dashboard that disappears when the subscription ends. Not a screenshot with recommendations you can’t act on later.

04

No upsell pressure

The audit is a $299 deliverable. Hiring us for the fixes is a separate conversation - and we’ll only suggest it if it makes sense. You can take the report to anyone you want, including another agency. It’s yours.

Cross-service FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Questions that apply across multiple services. Service-specific ones live on individual service pages.

No. Automated tools give a score and generic recommendations. Our audit is a manual review by WordPress engineers, with findings specific to your site, your stack, your traffic, and your business goals - ranked by impact, explained in plain language.
Yes. WooCommerce, LearnDash, LifterLMS, MemberPress, BuddyBoss, AffiliateWP and other specialist WordPress platforms are all covered. If your stack is unusually complex, let us know during intake and we’ll scope accordingly.
Yes - download the sample PDF in the hero or the Sample Report section above. It shows the structure and depth of what you’ll receive, with a real (anonymized) site as the example. No email required.
The $299 covers 5 days of engineering work, so it’s not refundable once we’ve started. You get the report regardless of what it contains. In the rare case we find no meaningful issues on a live site (hasn’t happened yet), we refund in full - and you keep the report.
Yes. We offer a multi-site discount for 3+ sites audited in the same engagement - common for agencies auditing client portfolios or businesses with a family of sites. Mention it during the intake call.
You receive a confirmation email with a link to schedule your 15-minute intake call, an access-request checklist, and an intake form. We start the business day after the intake call and deliver the report 5 business days later.

Know what’s actually wrong before you try to fix it.

Five business days, a scored PDF report, and a straight answer. If we can’t help, we’ll tell you who can
