Enterprise WordPress Performance Audits
We all know how frustrating a slow website can be, but did you know it can also lead to lost conversions, harm your search engine rankings, and expose security vulnerabilities? A WordPress Performance Audit uncovers actionable insights to optimise your website for speed, stability, and scalability.
Why run a WordPress Performance Audit?
Improved user experience & engagement
A faster website means happier users. Addressing common performance issues—such as PHP errors, slow database queries, and unoptimised images— help you to reduce page load times, lower bounce rates, and improve engagement.
Higher search engine rankings (SEO)
Google prioritises fast-loading websites in search rankings. Our audit includes a full Google PageSpeed review, identifying key areas for performance improvement and helping you drive more organic traffic.
Enhanced security and reliability
Poor performance can signal underlying security vulnerabilities. Tackle issues like PHP errors and inefficient database queries to improve performance and make your site more stable and secure.
What’s involved in a WordPress Performance Audit?
Address PHP errors and warnings
Outdated or poorly maintained plugins and themes can trigger PHP errors, slowing down your platform. We investigate, identify the source, and provide solutions to enhance site stability and performance.
Database efficiency
Inefficient database queries can dramatically slow your site. We identify slow or excessive queries, and offer recommendations to optimise your database for faster performance.
Site profiling
We profile your WordPress site to pinpoint performance drains, such as inefficient hooks and custom queries. By optimising backend performance and reducing TTFB, we ensure that your site runs faster and more reliably.
Resource optimisation
Slow-loading assets can hinder performance. We streamline your site by compressing essential assets, deferring non-essential ones, and optimising image delivery for faster load times across all devices.
Page construction
Complex HTML structures from page builders and custom blocks can slow down rendering. We assess your site for unnecessarily complex DOM structures and advise how to simplify and optimise the code for quicker page loads.
Full Google PageSpeed audit
We conduct a comprehensive audit, focusing on issues like render-blocking resources and slow-loading scripts. We address these problems to ensure your site meets modern performance standards and delivers superior UX.
