Magento Performance Audit
Saw a red Lighthouse score and want to know what's actually behind it? A performance audit profiles your store properly — frontend, backend, infrastructure and database — and tells you where the time really goes and what to fix first. It's fixed-price and low-risk: a measured diagnosis, not guesswork, and the right first step before committing to a larger optimisation project.

Saw a red Lighthouse score and want to know what's actually behind it?

Why audit before you optimise
The internet is full of "speed up Magento" checklists, and most of them are a way to spend a weekend changing things that weren't your bottleneck. A slow store has a specific cause — and until you've measured, you're guessing. An audit replaces the guess with a profile. The people who come to us are usually here:
A bad score, no diagnosis — Lighthouse or PageSpeed flashed red and you need to know what's driving it before spending on fixes.
Slow where it counts — checkout drops customers, category pages crawl, the admin lags, and it's costing real money in conversions and rankings.
About to invest — you're considering a performance project or a Hyvä rebuild and want a measured baseline first, so you can prove the improvement afterwards.
A fixed-price audit gives you the measured truth, and you own the roadmap whatever you do with it.
What the audit covers
Frontend
Patch & version review
Core Web Vitals — LCP, TBT, INP, CLS — plus the JavaScript bundle, render-blocking resources, image weight and lazy-loading. Measured with Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights and WebPageTest.
Which Magento security patches and CVE advisories are missing, how exposed each gap leaves you, and what applying them involves.
Backend
Extension security check
Server-side execution profiled with real tooling (New Relic, Blackfire or Tideways) — slow PHP, inefficient logic and the code paths actually eating your response time.
Third-party extensions reviewed for known vulnerabilities and risky code — often where the real exposure hides, since they're rarely audited after install.
Infrastructure
Admin hardening
TTFB, caching and server config — Varnish, Redis, full-page cache, production mode, CDN — the layer a frontend fix can't reach but that often holds the biggest win.
The admin panel: custom admin URL, two-factor authentication, IP whitelisting, session and permission settings — closing the easiest way in.
Database
Code & dependency scan
Query patterns, indexer and cron health, table bloat and the EAV-versus-flat decisions that quietly slow a store as the catalogue grows.
The codebase and composer.lock reviewed for known-vulnerable dependencies, plus common flaws — XSS, SQL injection, CSRF — in custom code.
Extension impact
Magecart & skimmer check
Which third-party extensions are loading heavy scripts or slow queries on every page — frequently the single biggest culprit.
Checking for the card-skimming code that targets checkout specifically — the Magecart-style attack that quietly steals payment data from compromised stores.
Measured baseline
PCI & compliance gaps
A documented before-state — real numbers, not impressions — so any later optimisation work can be proven against it.
Where the store stands against PCI DSS expectations, which gaps the audit can guide you to close, and which point to deeper remediation.
What you receive
The audit produces one clear deliverable: a written performance report with a prioritised optimisation roadmap.
A measured baseline — TTFB, Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse, documented as real numbers
Findings ranked by impact, so the changes that move the needle come first
For each finding: the cause, the likely gain, and roughly what fixing it involves
A clear split between quick wins and deeper structural work
A verdict on whether the frontend, backend, infrastructure or database is your real bottleneck
Where relevant, an honest note on whether a Hyvä rebuild is the highest-leverage fix
The audit produces one clear deliverable: a written security report you can act on, share with stakeholders, and keep.
A prioritised list of findings — critical, high, medium, low — so you fix the dangerous things first
For each finding: what it is, how exposed it leaves you, and what fixing it involves
Missing patches and vulnerable dependencies identified by name
Admin and server hardening recommendations, concrete and actionable
A PCI-gap summary where payment compliance is in scope
A clear next step — what you can do yourself, and what needs developer time
The report and the roadmap are yours regardless of what you do next — act on them with your own team, or bring them to us.
The report is yours regardless of whether we do the fix work — even if you take it to another team. That's the point of a fixed-price audit: an honest assessment with no obligation attached.
What we have built
A real platform migration — Shopify to Magento 2, with the data and rankings kept whole.
