13-Point WordPress Check
Your free website audit,
in plain English.
Send us your URL and we will run a free website audit — eight checks need nothing but the address, and five more need a read-only login if you want them included. Either way you get a plain-English report on what is out of date, slow, or quietly broken. No card, no obligation, no call to sit through first.
Report within three working days · 500+ WordPress projects maintained since 2018.
01 / What you cannot see
Most website problems are invisible until they are expensive.
Nothing on your site announces that a plugin stopped receiving security patches, that last night's backup silently failed, or that your order confirmations are landing in spam. You find out when a customer tells you — which is the worst possible moment and the most expensive.
See our maintenance plansYou do not know which plugins on your site have published vulnerabilities, or which have been abandoned by their developers and will never be patched.
You have a ranked list: what is exposed, what is unmaintained, and which items need action this week rather than this quarter.
Your site feels slow on a phone, but nobody can tell you whether that is the images, the hosting, the theme, or one badly behaved plugin.
You have real Core Web Vitals numbers for mobile and desktop, and the specific cause behind each measurement that fails.
You have backups. Probably. Nobody has ever tested whether they would actually restore, or how much work you would lose if they did.
You know where your backups live, how old the newest one is, and whether restoring from it would genuinely bring the site back.
02 / Our approach
What a free website audit actually covers.
Automated scanners hand you three hundred findings and rank none of them. That is not an audit, it is a wall of red. We run the measurements where machines are reliable, then a person reads the results and tells you which three things matter.
A person reads it, not just a tool
Every finding is triaged by severity and by what it actually costs you — so you know what to fix first.
Written to be understood
No jargon wall. Each item says what is wrong, what it means for your business, and what fixing it involves.
Yours to act on without us
Hand the report to any developer, or work through it yourself. There is no lock-in and nothing is withheld.
We check what tools skip
Backup restorability, transactional email deliverability, and whether Google can actually reach your pages at all.
03 / The checklist
Eight checks from your URL. Five that need a login.
We would rather be straight with you about this than promise thirteen checks and quietly deliver eight. Some things simply cannot be seen from outside a website — and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. Performance is measured against Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds, not against how the site feels on the day.
From your URL alone — nothing else needed
With a read-only login — optional, and you can decline
Why the split matters: we tested this. Probing a live WordPress site from the outside identified one of its five active plugins, no reliable version numbers, and no PHP version at all. The plugin it missed was the backup plugin. That is why backup status, vulnerability matching and mail delivery sit in the second list — not because we are holding them back, but because no external tool can honestly report on them.
Request your audit
Send us
your URL.
That is all we need to begin. We will confirm by email, run the eight external checks, and come back within three working days. If you want the other five, we will ask for a read-only login separately — and the report is yours either way.
04 / How it works
How it works — about two minutes of your time.
You send your URL
One field. If you already suspect something specific is wrong, tell us and we will start there.
We run the checks
Eight from the outside straight away. If you granted a read-only login, the other five as well — then a person reads every result.
You get the report
A plain-English summary within three working days: what is urgent, what can wait, and what is genuinely fine.
You decide what happens next
Fix it yourself, pass it to your developer, or ask us to handle it. All three are perfectly good outcomes.
05 / FAQ
Questions,
answered.
Yes. There is no card, no trial, and no call you have to sit through first. Send the URL, get the report. We offer it because it is the most honest way we know to start a conversation — and the report is yours either way, whether you bring us in or hand it to your own developer.
Your website address is enough for eight of the thirteen checks — Core Web Vitals, images, security headers, titles, alt text, internal linking, indexing and crawlability, and email authentication. The other five need a read-only login to your WordPress admin or hosting. That is not us being awkward: your full plugin inventory, your backup status and whether mail actually arrives genuinely cannot be determined from outside. We tested it — an external probe of a live site found one of its five plugins and missed the backup plugin entirely. You can decline access and still get the eight-check report.
We aim to send the report within three working days. If your site is unusually large or we hit something that needs digging into, we will tell you rather than quietly running late.
The thirteen-point check is built around WordPress, which is what we have specialised in since 2018. We will still look at a Shopify, Squarespace or custom site, but several checks — plugin vulnerabilities, core version, staging behaviour — will not apply, so you get a shorter report.
Straight answer: if the audit shows your site needs ongoing attention, we will say so and point you at our WordPress maintenance plans. If it does not, we will say that instead. What we will not do is manufacture urgency — the findings are what they are, and you can act on them without us.
Then the report says so, and you have spent nothing to gain the certainty. That is a genuinely useful outcome. It happens most often with sites that were built recently and have been actively looked after since.
Find out what is wrong before your customers do.
Request your free website audit and we will tell you exactly where your site stands — security, speed, backups and the rest — in language you can act on. If you would rather talk it through first, book a call instead.
