Your WordPress Stack is Hemorrhaging Revenue. Here's Your Exit Plan.

If you're a growth lead watching plugin conflicts tank conversions while your dev team firefights security patches, you need numbers -- not another agency deck.

We dig into your entire WordPress stack -- plugin bloat, ranking decay, Core Web Vitals failures, security gaps -- and hand you a migration roadmap to Astro, Next.js, or Nuxt.

WordPress Audit & Migration Roadmap

A structured technical engagement that dissects your existing WordPress installation across performance, security, SEO health, and plugin dependency risk. We produce a written audit report scored against measurable baselines, followed by a scoped migration plan tied to your target framework. The output is an actionable document your internal team or an implementation agency can execute against immediately.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Plugin sprawl has turned routine updates into a change-freeze because nobody knows what will break next.
Risk: Deferred updates leave known CVEs unpatched and compound technical debt until a single conflict causes a site outage during peak traffic.
Core Web Vitals scores are failing Largest Contentful Paint and Total Blocking Time thresholds despite repeated theme and caching tweaks.
Risk: Google's page experience signals directly affect organic ranking position; a sustained CWV failure erodes hard-won keyword positions that take months to recover.
You suspect WordPress is the ceiling on your conversion rate but have no forensic data to take to the business case conversation.
Risk: Without measured baseline numbers, any migration pitch reads as opinion, stalling the decision while the performance gap widens and competitors on faster stacks pull ahead.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Security Vulnerability Disclosure

Every identified CVE, outdated plugin version, and misconfigured permission is documented with a severity rating and remediation step, whether you migrate or stay on WordPress.

Reproducible Audit Methodology

All findings are tied to specific tooling outputs — Lighthouse, WPScan, Screaming Frog, and Search Console data — so results are verifiable and not subject to auditor interpretation.

Scoped Cost Transparency

The migration roadmap includes itemized effort estimates per phase — content migration, redirect mapping, component build, and QA — so stakeholders have a real number to approve, not a range.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Plugin & Dependency Risk Matrix

Every active and inactive plugin is catalogued against last-update date, known vulnerabilities, and functional redundancy. The output is a ranked list of what to remove, replace, or carry forward, with rationale for each decision.

Core Web Vitals & Performance Baseline

We run field data from Chrome UX Report alongside lab tests across mobile and desktop to pinpoint exactly which elements are failing LCP, CLS, and INP thresholds and trace each failure to its root cause in the stack.

SEO Decay & Crawl Health Report

A full crawl identifies cannibalized URLs, broken internal links, missing structured data, and index bloat. We map current ranking positions to affected pages so you can see the direct relationship between technical debt and organic traffic loss.

Framework Migration Roadmap

Deliverable includes a phased plan for migrating to Astro, Next.js, or Nuxt — covering content modelling, redirect strategy, CI/CD requirements, and CMS headless integration — with effort hours attached to each phase and clear decision points for your team.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Stack Intake & Access

1 week

We collect read-only access to your WordPress admin, hosting environment, Google Search Console, and Analytics. A structured intake form captures your current pain points, traffic profile, and migration constraints before any tooling runs.

02

Technical Audit Execution

1-2 weeks

Automated and manual analysis runs across security, performance, SEO, and plugin health. Every finding is cross-referenced against your live traffic data so severity ratings reflect actual business impact, not theoretical risk scores.

03

Audit Report Delivery & Walkthrough

1 week

You receive a structured written report with all findings, evidence screenshots, tool outputs, and a prioritized remediation list. A live walkthrough session with your technical lead and growth stakeholders ensures every finding is understood before roadmap planning begins.

04

Migration Roadmap & Handoff

1-2 weeks

We produce the costed migration roadmap covering framework recommendation rationale, phased delivery plan, redirect and content migration strategy, and integration requirements. The document is written for handoff to your internal team or a build agency and requires no further interpretation from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most audits are delivered within 10 business days. Sites with over 10,000 pages or complex multisite configurations may take up to 15. We'll confirm the timeline on our kickoff call once we know your setup and have access sorted.
No. The audit and roadmap are yours regardless of what you decide. Plenty of clients use the findings to fix immediate WordPress issues while planning a longer-term migration. Others hand the roadmap to their internal team or a different agency. There's no lock-in.
It depends on your content model, team capabilities, and traffic patterns. Astro's the right call for content-heavy sites with minimal interactivity. Next.js handles complex applications with dynamic data. Nuxt is the stronger choice if your team already works in Vue. We recommend based on your situation, not our preference.
No. Our crawls are throttled so they don't put pressure on your server, and we pull field performance data from Google's CrUX dataset rather than running synthetic load tests against your production environment. We coordinate timing for any server-side checks that need admin access.
We add up your hosting fees, premium plugin licenses, developer maintenance hours, estimated downtime costs, and the opportunity cost from organic traffic lost to poor Core Web Vitals. Then we model equivalent costs on a headless stack over 12, 24, and 36 months in an editable spreadsheet.
Yes. Multisite and WooCommerce audits are common. WooCommerce adds real complexity around product data migration, payment gateway compatibility, and checkout performance -- we address all of that specifically in the roadmap. These audits typically land at the higher end of our pricing range.
