Get a Technical Performance Audit of Your Site Within 48 Hours
Most teams know their site feels slow but cannot name the bottleneck. Is it images, hosting, a plugin, third-party scripts, or the theme? A performance audit answers that question with data, not opinions.
Within 48 hours you receive a PDF report covering Core Web Vitals on your revenue-critical templates, render-blocking resources, mobile issues, and schema gaps. Each finding is ranked by impact and effort so you know what to fix first.

What we measure on every audit
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): how fast the main content appears. Poor LCP hurts rankings and makes visitors leave before they read or buy.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP): responsiveness after load. Heavy JavaScript on checkout, filters, and chat widgets often fails here first.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): visual stability. Ads, fonts, cookie banners, and late images push buttons while users click.
Time to First Byte (TTFB): server and CDN response before HTML arrives. High TTFB usually means hosting, database, or cache misconfiguration.
Third-party weight: analytics, reviews, chat, ads, and payment SDKs loaded before the user can act.
Sample findings from recent audits
These are representative issues we flag. Your report uses the same format: impact, evidence, fix, effort, owner.
- Hero image not prioritized (LCP): 380 KB WebP without preload on homepage. Fix: responsive srcset + fetchpriority. Owner: front-end. Effort: 2 to 4 hours.
- Checkout plugin blocks main thread (INP): payment SDK loads synchronously on mobile. Fix: defer wallet buttons, split critical path. Owner: dev. Effort: 1 to 2 days.
- Category filters re-render entire DOM: 1.2s INP on catalog pages with 2,000+ SKUs. Fix: virtualize list or paginate server-side. Owner: dev. Effort: 3 to 5 days.
- Missing Product schema on variants: rich results dropped after theme change. Fix: restore JSON-LD on PDP templates. Owner: dev or SEO. Effort: 4 to 8 hours.
What you receive in the PDF
Executive summary: three sentences a stakeholder can forward without reading 40 pages.
Per-template scorecard: LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, total page weight, request count.
Waterfall screenshots: annotated filmstrips showing what blocked first paint.
Prioritized action table: fix description, expected impact (high / medium / low), effort (hours / days), owner (dev, content, hosting).
Quick wins vs structural work: we separate same-week fixes from theme or infrastructure projects that need budget approval.
Who books an audit
Marketing leaders who need evidence before approving dev budget or pausing ad spend.
Store owners seeing mobile cart abandonment without a clear technical explanation.
Teams before a redesign who want a baseline so the new build does not repeat old mistakes.
Agencies handing off to client IT who need an independent third-party report.
What to send when you request an audit
Include these in your first message so we start the same day:
- Live domain and platform (WordPress, Shopify, custom, headless).
- Five URLs or page types to prioritize (we will confirm the exact URLs).
- Any deadline: campaign launch, board meeting, migration cutover.
- Whether checkout or lead forms are revenue-critical (yes/no).
- Known recent changes: new theme, plugin batch update, CDN switch.
After the audit: implementation paths
Your team implements: you keep the PDF and ticket the fix list internally. No obligation.
Fix sprint with AlfaMedia: we quote a 1 to 3 week sprint for quick wins and top structural items.
Ongoing maintenance: if the audit shows recurring drift (plugins, content uploads), a maintenance plan prevents scores from sliding back.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is included in the audit?
Core Web Vitals on up to five templates, render-blocking asset review, mobile usability spot check, basic schema validation, hosting and CDN notes, third-party script weight analysis, and a prioritized PDF with estimated impact per fix.
Which pages should I include?
At minimum: homepage, your highest-traffic landing page, one category or collection, one product, and checkout (or lead form). For content sites, swap product and checkout for blog and contact.
How fast do you deliver?
Within 48 hours of receiving URL, platform details, and template list after purchase. Rush delivery (24 hours) is available for an additional fee when calendar allows.
What does it cost?
The WordPress & WooCommerce Performance Audit is $297 via the shop (same price on the product page). Multi-locale, multi-domain, or headless stacks are quoted after a short intake.
Do you fix issues after the audit?
Yes, optionally. The report is yours to implement internally or we quote a fix sprint based on the priority list. Many clients start with quick wins (images, cache headers) in week one.
Is this the same as ongoing maintenance?
No. The audit is a one-time diagnostic snapshot. Maintenance is proactive monitoring and updates on a monthly plan. Audit findings often inform which maintenance tier you need.
What is not included?
Implementation of fixes, ongoing monitoring, full redesign or migration scoping, WCAG certification, and security penetration testing are out of scope unless quoted separately.
Will you need admin access?
Not for the standard audit. Public templates are tested as visitors see them. Access helps for authenticated flows or staging comparisons and is requested only when needed.
