WordPress Audit & Remediation

I also do this: a read-only WordPress audit for sites on managed hosts—Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways—followed by the fixes, if you want them.

It comes from a gap I kept seeing. Your managed host keeps the server patched and will even update your plugins automatically. What it won’t do is read your code. The day an update breaks your checkout page, the polite, final reply is we don’t fix code. That’s the boundary of what you bought, not a failure of support. The fixing is a different job, and it’s yours.

What I do

I run a read-only audit across your install and hand you a prioritized remediation report:

• Fix Today—confirmed live vulnerabilities and abandoned plugins that matter.
• Fix This Week—outdated themes and lower-impact issues with a clear fix.
• Log and Ignore—confirmed noise, inactive code, cosmetic items.

With the report comes a fixed-price quote for the remediation. No obligation to take it.

If you accept, I fix the code and manage the plugins, the Fix Today list first. Every change is shown to you for approval before it’s applied, and your database is backed up before anything that touches it. Page-builder breakage—Elementor or Divi layouts stored as data in your database, not code—is surfaced in the report and fixed under the same rule.

How access works

The audit is read-only. The easy path: you grant read-only SSH and I pull the database dump and wp-content myself. If you’d rather keep access closed, send a database dump and a wp-content zip and I’ll audit from that. Remediation needs SSH to the site, and to your Git repository if you manage source there. A mutual NDA comes first; credentials are scoped, time-bound, and revocable by you.

Who it’s for

Owners of managed-WordPress sites whose install has grown faster than its maintenance—often WooCommerce, no in-house developer. If you can’t tell a five-hundred-dollar fix from a fifty-dollar one, the audit is what makes the quote make sense.

It’s not for shared or cPanel-only hosting, full database overhauls, or a redesign. I operate on existing sites; I don’t replace your host or your page builder.
