Is your WordPress site slowing down, are your conversions stagnating, or has your organic SEO plateaued? These signs often indicate technical or functional issues.
An audit of your WordPress site makes it possible to precisely identify these malfunctions and define the priority corrective actions.
At Maintenance WP, we carry out comprehensive audits for WordPress and WooCommerce sites.
Our goal is to provide you with a detailed analysis and concrete recommendations to improve the technical structure, WordPress performance, security, SEO, accessibility, or user experience of your website.
Why audit your WordPress site?
A WordPress site can accumulate technical debt over time: outdated or poorly chosen plugins, non-optimized themes, a buildup of unused custom development, an overloaded database, security vulnerabilities…
These issues add up and directly impact your results.
A WordPress audit addresses several essential challenges:
Improve and future-proof the site’s technical structure
Detect configuration issues, replace outdated features, and stabilize the technical structure. These are all checkpoints that help keep your site performing well over the long term.
Improve loading speed
Visitors leave a site that takes more than three seconds to load. Google also penalizes slow pages in its search results. The audit makes it possible to identify the causes of slowdowns and propose suitable solutions.
Strengthen security
WordPress is a prime target for hackers because of its popularity. We check the status of your site, the management of your access rights, plugin, theme and WordPress core updates, and the absence of malicious code.
Optimize organic SEO
An audit reveals the errors that are holding back your ranking on Google: faulty link structure, duplicate content, missing tags, excessive server response time.
Increase your conversions
The user experience directly influences your sales. We analyze your visitors’ journey to identify friction points and suggest improvements.
Our audits
The different types of WordPress audit
WordPress technical audit
This audit examines the technical structure of your website.
We review the server configuration (PHP version, enabled extensions, etc.), hosting, the WordPress version, your theme and plugins, the state of the database and its optimization.
We also review loading speed on desktop and mobile (tested on different URLs), image weight, caching and HTTP requests.
The security section covers administrator access, the SSL certificate and the level of protection of your site & server against common attacks.
RGAA accessibility audit
Is your website accessible to all your visitors? Our RGAA audit analyzes a representative sample of your pages to detect barriers encountered by people with disabilities: keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, insufficient contrast, missing text alternatives, poorly structured forms.
The RGAA (General Accessibility Improvement Framework) is the official standard required by the French administration for accessibility. Beyond the legal obligation for certain companies, making your site accessible broadens your audience and improves the experience for all your users.
At the end of the audit, you receive a detailed report with your site’s compliance rate and the priority corrections to be made.
Technical SEO audit
Organic search optimization requires an in-depth analysis of many criteria that have a direct impact on your ranking.
The technical SEO audit for WordPress provides an in-depth analysis of your site’s technical structure, heading hierarchy, internal linking, meta title and meta description tags, your pages’ response codes, and indexability by search engines.
Performance audit
A WordPress performance audit primarily checks page loading time and Core Web Vitals metrics (LCP, CLS, INP), optimization of images and media files, cache and compression configuration, code quality (plugins, theme, database queries, and custom code), as well as server performance (hosting, CDN, PHP version, etc.).
The goal is to identify the blocking points that slow down the site.

Post-audit action plan for your WordPress site
Once the audit report has been delivered, we support you in implementing the recommendations according to your resources and priorities.
The actions are prioritized into three levels:
- Critical fixes concern security and blocking/impactful errors.
- Important optimizations significantly improve performance and SEO.
- Secondary improvements refine the user experience and SEO over the long term.
You can carry out these corrections in-house or entrust their implementation to our team. We also offer post-audit follow-up through our maintenance plans to measure the impact of the optimizations on your key indicators: traffic, speed, conversions.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about WordPress audits
Why perform a WordPress audit regularly?
A website is constantly evolving and depends on many factors: plugin compatibility and updates from their publishers, WordPress updates, content changes and additions, changes to Google’s ranking criteria, etc.
These changes can introduce malfunctions, vulnerabilities, or technical elements that penalize your SEO.
A regular audit helps maintain optimal performance, continually improve your SEO and, more generally, your website, and prevent problems before they impact your business.
How long does a WordPress site audit take?
The duration depends on the size of the site and the type of audit ordered. A WordPress technical audit or technical SEO audit requires, on average, one to two days of preparation. We will give you a precise timeframe during our initial discussion.
What tools do we use to perform the audit?
We combine several tools for a comprehensive analysis: GTmetrix and PageSpeed Insights for performance, Screaming Frog, Semrush, Ahref for technical SEO, Wordfence and SecuPress for security.
This data is supplemented by a manual analysis of your environment (server, website, custom code, etc.).
What common errors can a WordPress audit detect?
The most common issues include: plugins that are not updated or have been abandoned, unoptimized images, lack of caching, broken internal links, missing or duplicate meta tags, and various security vulnerabilities.
How much does a WordPress audit cost?
Our audits start at €800 excl. VAT for a technical analysis. The price then varies depending on the type of audit carried out and on the number of pages, the complexity of the site, and the areas covered. WooCommerce stores require a specific analysis of e-commerce features. Feel free to contact us to get an estimate for your audit.
