Magento Audit Services — Optimize, Secure & Scale Your Store

Turn Magento Issues Into Results-Driven Opportunities

If your Magento store is slow, costly, or plagued with bugs and conflicts, you’re losing revenue, time, and peace of mind.

A Magento Audit Keeps the Main Thing the Main Thing – Growth!

Magento Audit Activities

We perform the following key activities as part of our comprehensive Magento audit, ensuring your store is optimized for performance, security, scalability, and user experience. These, along with several additional checks, help us identify issues and opportunities tailored to your business needs.

Infrastructure Assessment

Why This Matters

A poorly optimized stack can lead to costly downtime, wasted resources, and slow response times — all of which impact customer trust and revenue. Optimizing your infrastructure improves stability, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Typical Issues We Identify

Outdated operating systems creating security and support risks.
Single-server setups, where the web and database are hosted on the same node, and lacking separation of concerns.
Scalability gaps existing without cluster/load balancing, limiting scalability despite order volume needs.
Disabled or unused services like RabbitMQ, preventing recommended queue management.
Over- or under-provisioned resources, leading to wasted spend or slow performance.
Weak or inconsistent firewall setup, including gaps in WAF and monitoring configurations.
System requirement deviations where configurations failing to meet recommended Magento standards.

What We Do

We take a deep dive into your hosting stack — from server architecture to caching layers and monitoring tools — to evaluate how well your infrastructure supports current and future needs.

Server Configuration & Optimization — Audit web, database, cache, Redis, Elasticsearch, and file servers for performance, security, and resource utilization.
Software Version Management & Lifecycle Checks — Review PHP, Composer, and OS versions for stability and security.
WAF & Monitoring Tools — Analyze Cloudflare, New Relic, and other monitoring tools in use to detect if you have robust error detection and customer experience issues reporting.

Magento Application Overview

Why This Matters

A clean, efficient architecture improves search, indexing, and speed, and ensures your store is ready to scale without introducing unnecessary complexity or instability.

Typical Issues We Identify

Outdated Magento versions, where stores are running older Magento versions, and missing critical security patches & features.
Hyvä Theme several releases behind, limiting performance and compatibility.
Catalog/Entity “bloat” from millions of products or inactive customers is slowing indexing.

What We Do

We assess your core Magento setup, data structure, and catalog architecture to evaluate stability, indexing efficiency, and readiness for growth.

Analyze product, category, and customer volumes.
Identify inactive or redundant entities.
Review category structures for alignment with performance best practices.

Extension & Module Inventory

Why This Matters

Excessive or poorly managed modules create upgrade headaches, increase development costs, and expose your site to avoidable risks. Streamlining your module stack leads to faster upgrades, fewer conflicts, and easier maintenance.

Typical Issues We Identify

Excessive Number of Modules, many unused or disabled, increasing conflicts and upgrade complexity.
Multiple Vendors creating inconsistent practices and dependencies.
Manual Installs complicating upgrades and version control.
Incomplete or Abandoned Modules introducing vulnerabilities and technical debt.

What We Do

We evaluate every extension and custom module in your store for performance, maintainability, and security.

Identify modules that slow performance, increase dev costs, or pose upgrade risks.
Review how modules are structured, maintained, and utilized.
Evaluate whether the number of extensions aligns with the size/needs of the business.
Check installation/management practices to detect proper dependency management & version control.
Detect unused/hidden modules that can affect maintainability and performance.

Custom Features & Integrations

Why This Matters

Customizations are often critical to businesses — but when poorly implemented, they become bottlenecks for upgrades, scaling, and new feature development.

Typical Issues We Identify

Over-customized Checkouts — Heavy React.js or OneStep customizations complicating upgrades and feature add-ons.
Fragile ERP/CRM Integrations — Oracle, NCR, and Microsoft Dynamics integrations are often custom-built, which constantly break, leading to incomplete data sync.
Custom Import/Export Jobs causing index & cache invalidation.
Over-engineered custom modules when marketplace modules could handle them.

What We Do

We evaluate your custom logic and third‑party connections to identify blockers to performance, stability, or feature expansion.

Assess custom checkout flow implementation quality and validate whether customizations truly serve your business needs compared to Magento’s native checkout.
Review ERP/CRM Integrations and bespoke import/export jobs to ensure they are reliable, efficient, and aligned with your operational goals.
Detect fragile, redundant, or overly complex customizations that may hinder upgrades or feature enhancements.
PIM Evaluation - Analyze your product data and marketplace workflows to determine if a PIM solution is needed or if your current setup requires optimization.

User Experience & Functional QA

Why This Matters

Friction at any step of the user journey drives abandonment and lost revenue. Improving UX delivers measurable gains in conversions, retention, and customer satisfaction.

Typical Issues We Identify

UI/UX Gaps — Outdated design and inconsistent branding.
Checkout Friction — Missing validation, misaligned messages, billing/shipping logic errors, potentially leading to incomplete orders.
404s & Navigation Issues — Broken links and navigation errors are impacting SEO and usability.
Slow Search functionality, particularly with large catalogs.

What We Do

We map the customer journey and test core user flows to uncover conversion blockers and frontend performance issues.

Audit homepage, PDP, and PLP performance.
Test checkout flows for responsiveness and error handling.
Evaluate mobile layouts for rendering issues and layout shifts.

Code Quality & Security Review

Why This Matters

Clean, compliant code is easier to maintain, faster to deploy, and less vulnerable to costly security incidents.

Typical Issues We Identify

Magento Coding Standards Violations across core and custom modules.
Poor coding practices (e.g., direct Object Manager use)
Raw SQL Queries instead of Magento’s query methods creating security risks.
Unused Code/Files like legacy modules, commented code, backup folders in production.
Insecure 777 File Permissions leaving sensitive files exposed.

What We Do

We run a full code scan to detect vulnerabilities, Magento coding standard violations, and inefficiencies that make maintenance harder and deployments riskier.

Performance & PageSpeed Audit

Why This Matters

Faster load times directly translate into higher conversions and improved SEO visibility.

Typical Issues We Identify

Low PageSpeed Scores for both desktop and mobile
Unoptimized Assets — Images not compressed, lack of WebP/AVIF, and missing lazy loading.
Scalability Issues — Lack of a cluster or a fault-tolerant setup impacts uptime.
Heavy Custom Code — Custom rendering modules are slowing PLP/PDP load.
Cache/Indexing Issues — Improper cron jobs, missing cache warmers

What We Do

We benchmark page load speed and rendering performance across multiple Magento templates.

Google PageSpeed (Homepage, PLP, PDP) – Benchmarking and analysis of performance scores across key templates.
Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, Interaction to Next Paint) – Measurement of key performance metrics that determine page load speed, visual stability, and user interactivity.
WebP/AVIF Image Recommendations — Review of current image formats and identification of optimization opportunities.
Lazy Loading & Cache Warmer Configurations — Evaluation of existing loading strategies and cache setups across the store.

Security Overview

Why This Matters

Proactive security eliminates crisis response costs and helps ensure long‑term platform stability.

Typical Issues We Identify

Outdated Composer Versions are still in use.
Insecure Admin URLs — Default /admin path without 2FA.
File/Folder Permissions Misconfigured
Staging Risks — Live emails/tracking on staging, potential data leaks.
Security Audit Findings — Vulnerabilities/misconfigurations (e.g., leftover adminer.php, unencrypted credentials).
Server-Level Best Practice Violations — Deprecated OS, weak permissions, risky configs.
No Advanced WAF Configs — Some sites have Cloudflare, but no bot protection or waiting rooms.

What We Do

We validate security controls across your application and server stack.

Composer version and patch validation
Firewall & WAF rule validation
Magereport threat scanning
Additional blocking layers (e.g., RequestFirewall module audit)

SEO & Analytics Configuration

Why This Matters

Strong SEO architecture improves visibility, and properly tracked data powers smarter marketing decisions.

Typical Issues We Identify

Tracking Gaps — GTM, Analytics, or pixels implemented via the theme instead of the GTM container, creating inconsistent data capture.
Missing or Broken Canonicals — Custom modules not consistently enforcing correct canonical tags, causing duplicate content issues.
404 Errors Hurting SEO — Broken or outdated links leading to crawl errors and loss of search visibility.
Broken Redirects & Chains — Improper 301/302 usage causing redirect loops or authority loss.
