A practical, step-by-step guide to auditing a WordPress site for SEO, speed, security and accessibility — and how to fix what you find.
A WordPress audit is a full health check of your site across SEO, performance, security, accessibility and WordPress-specific issues. Done right, it tells you exactly what to fix and in what order.
Most sites slowly accumulate problems: outdated plugins, broken links, missing meta tags, slow images and exposed endpoints. An audit surfaces all of them in one place so you can prioritise.
Don't just check the homepage. A proper audit crawls every page via your XML sitemap. Enter your URL in a tool like WPDoctor and let it discover and scan each page.
Google ranks on real user speed data (LCP, CLS, INP). Look for render-blocking scripts, oversized images and slow server response (TTFB).
