Codebase audit
Code is the website’s basis or foundation. WordPress site’s codebase audit allows you to:
- Find deprecated features. Outdated technologies and features may not work properly or slow down the site.
- Determine security risks. Outdated code does not provide reliable site protection. The web page becomes vulnerable to hacker attacks, hacks, viruses, and malware. This is fraught with the loss of important information, the site’s «death».
- Detect the wrong approach to development. The wrong approach to development includes writing «dirty» code and violating programming technology. Because of this, the functions may not work correctly or not work at all, the site loading speed may decrease, and errors may occur.
