Technical Website Audit Services

What Your Technical Website Audit Covers

Your audit spans six engineering domains:

Code Quality & Architecture

We review your codebase for technical debt, anti-patterns, and risky customizations: the issues that slow delivery, break on upgrade, and quietly raise your cost of every future change.

Performance & Speed

Slow queries, bloated front-end, missing caching. We profile what’s dragging load times down and tie each finding to its impact on conversion and Core Web Vitals. A 0.1-second improvement in mobile load time increases retail conversions by 8.4%, according to Deloitte and Google’s Milliseconds Make Millions study.

Security & Compliance

Outdated dependencies, missing patches, and weak configurations are how stores get breached. We surface vulnerabilities and prioritize them by real-world risk.

Infrastructure & Scalability

We assess hosting, server configuration, and architecture against the traffic you actually get: the peaks you’re not ready for.

Integrations & Data

ERP, CRM, payment, and third-party connections are where eCommerce breaks silently. We audit data flows and integration health for reliability gaps.

Technical SEO Foundations

The technical groundwork search engines rely on: crawlability, indexation, structured data, and site speed signals. This layer ensures your store is visible and indexable, not just functional.

Poor software quality cost U.S. organizations an estimated $2.41 trillion in a single year, and unaddressed technical debt is one of the largest contributors.

DISCUSS WHAT YOUR AUDIT SHOULD COVER

How the Audit Works

A typical Atwix technical audit runs one to three weeks, scoped with you upfront, with the same engineers on your account from kickoff through final delivery.

1. Scope & Discovery

Days 1–2. We align on your platforms, priorities, and specific risk areas. You grant read-only codebase and infrastructure access. Scope and cost are confirmed before any billable work begins.

2. Deep Audit

Days 3–14, depending on complexity. Our engineers assess code quality, architecture, performance, security, integrations, and technical SEO, documenting each issue’s root cause and business impact.

3. Findings Report

Days 15–21. You receive a report where every issue is ranked by impact and effort, paired with a concrete remediation roadmap. Each item specifies what to fix, why it matters, and what it takes to resolve.

4. Remediation

Optional. Our engineers can carry the findings through to remediation: the same team that identified the issues executes the fixes.

Who This Is For

If any of the following describes your situation, a technical website audit is your next step.

You Inherited a Codebase You Don’t Trust

New team, new agency, or an acquisition: nobody can tell you what’s really under the hood. An audit gives you the map.

Every Change Takes Too Long

Small updates turn into big projects, releases break things, and you suspect technical debt is the reason. We confirm where it’s hiding and what it’s costing.

You’re Planning a Replatform or Upgrade

Before you invest, you want a clear-eyed assessment of what to keep, fix, or rebuild. The audit is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy.

You Run a Complex B2B Operation

ERP integrations, bulk pricing logic, and account-based catalogs create risks that standard audits miss. We find the architecture and data-flow gaps unique to Magento B2B, Shopware B2B Components, and complex multi-system integrations.

Know exactly what’s under the hood.

A technical website audit from Atwix gives you a complete picture of your store’s engineering health. Every finding is ranked by impact and effort, paired with a remediation roadmap, so your team invests in the fixes that move the business forward, on any platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not sure what your store needs audited? Ask us directly →

How do I know if my store needs a technical website audit?

Your store is a strong candidate for a technical website audit if any of the following apply: deployments frequently break or require rollbacks; Lighthouse or Core Web Vitals scores are declining; a replatform or major upgrade is on the roadmap; your development team has recently changed; or security scans are returning unresolved findings. Any one of these is a signal worth investigating.

What’s the difference between a technical audit and an SEO audit?

A technical website audit assesses your store’s code, architecture, performance, security, and infrastructure: the engineering health of the build. An SEO audit focuses on rankings, crawlability, and content. We cover the technical SEO foundations that overlap, but our audit is engineering-led, not a rankings report.

Which platforms do you audit?

Magento and Adobe Commerce (including Adobe Commerce Cloud), Shopify and Shopify Plus, Shopware, and BigCommerce. Our engineers are certified across all of them.

Do you just report problems, or do you fix them too?

Both. The audit identifies and prioritizes; our engineers can implement the fixes. You’re not handed a PDF and left to find a developer.

What do I actually receive?

A prioritized findings report: every issue ranked by impact and effort, with a clear remediation roadmap you can act on with us or your own team.

How long does a technical audit take?

It depends on store size and complexity, but most audits run one to three weeks. We scope it with you up front so there are no surprises.

Is a technical audit worth it before a replatform?

Almost always. An audit tells you what’s worth migrating, what to rebuild, and what to retire, which usually saves far more than the audit costs.

Still weighing whether an audit is the right next step?

Our engineers scope every engagement with you directly. No sales call, no commitment. Bring your questions.
