Technical audit for websites, webshops, apps, and software
Why a technical audit matters
Your conversion rates, user experience, and operational efficiency depend on technically sound systems. A technical website audit uncovers what slows performance, creates security risk, blocks search engines, or frustrates users, often problems you don't notice until they cost money. We have been building and auditing digital systems since 1998; we know what breaks, what scales, and what creates headaches months after launch.
What we audit
Our application audit covers Magento (Adobe Commerce), WordPress, Umbraco, custom .NET applications, custom PHP applications, and mobile and web applications. We only audit technologies our team actively develops with. That isn't a limitation; it's a guarantee of depth: we won't give you a questionable assessment of a platform outside our expertise.
The technical audit is available standalone or combined with our other review packages; see the Software Review page for the full set.
What the audit includes
System core: CMS and language version analysis, security patch status (CMS-level; we are not a security company and don't perform penetration testing), and identification of outdated modules and components.
Server configuration: server setup evaluation, caching analysis (OPcache, Redis, Memcache, among others), and hosting assessment with recommendations.
Website performance audit: load testing based on your real traffic patterns from Google Analytics (peak periods, most-visited pages, concurrent users), and stress testing that pushes the system past normal capacity to find its breaking points.
Plugins and integrations: an inventory of active and inactive plugins, evaluation of shipping and payment integrations on webshops, and better alternatives where they exist. We verify integration configuration; we don't audit data flow inside third-party systems, which would require full access to those platforms.
Theme and backend: technical assessment of your theme, and hands-on testing of administrative functions: content management, media, users, orders, catalog, pricing rules, reports, import/export, and logs, among others, scoped to your system's actual features.
Backup verification: we verify that your backups actually restore. This requires server or hosting panel access, or a full backup copy; if your host restricts third-party access, we guide you through verifying it with them.
What you receive
A detailed report: every issue found, a severity classification, specific fix recommendations, and optimization suggestions drawn from systems like yours. An optional online meeting walks your team through the findings and priorities.
The report is yours. Take it to your existing developer, hand it to another company, or have us implement the fixes. We don't lock you into our services.
How the audit is engaged
An audit is a defined piece of work with a defined price: it runs as a fixed-price task, approved by you before work begins, either inside your Continuous Monthly Development plan or standalone. Standard website audits typically take one to two weeks from kickoff to report; large webshops or complex custom applications can take longer, and you get the timeline together with the price.
The technical audit is a paid, one-time deep examination. It is separate from the Monthly System Check, the lighter recurring report included in every Continuous Monthly Development plan; the two complement each other.
How we use AI
AI-assisted tools help us analyze systems thoroughly and consistently. Every finding and every recommendation is still reviewed and verified by experienced software developers before it reaches your report.
Free, no-commitment
Commonly asked questions
Do you fix the issues you find?
The audit identifies problems and tells you specifically how to fix them. Implementation is separate: you can use your own developer, another company, or us.
What do you need from us?
Server SSH or hosting panel access for full server-side testing, and access or a backup copy for restore verification. For custom applications, an overview of the architecture and business logic so the testing scope fits.
How long does it take?
Typically one to two weeks for a standard website; longer for large webshops or complex custom systems. You get the specific timeline with the fixed price before anything starts.
How is this different from an automated scan?
Automated tools flag surface issues without context. Our audits are done by experienced developers who build these systems daily, so you learn what’s wrong, why it matters for your business, and exactly how to fix it.
Which systems do you audit?
Magento (Adobe Commerce), WordPress, Umbraco, custom .NET and PHP applications, and mobile and web applications: only technologies our team actively develops with.
Is the audit priced fixed?
Yes. The audit runs as a fixed-price task, approved by you before work begins, standalone or inside your Continuous Monthly Development plan.
