Magento Performance Audit

Find Out Exactly Why Your Magento Store Is Slow

Throwing fixes at a slow store without measuring first wastes money and rarely lasts. A performance audit profiles the whole stack, backend, database, extensions, frontend and hosting, to find the real bottlenecks with evidence. You get a clear, prioritised report of what is slowing the store, how much each issue costs you, and exactly what to fix first.

Who Needs This

Eight Signs Your Store Needs A Real Audit

If two or three of these are true, you are guessing at the cause. An audit replaces the guessing with evidence.

It is slow, cause unknown

Pages take too long and nobody can say why, so every fix is a guess that may not help.

You failed Core Web Vitals

Google flags poor LCP or CLS and you need to know exactly what is driving the scores down.

Bounce rate is climbing

Visitors leave before pages load and you suspect speed, but you have no proof to act on.

The admin is painfully slow

Staff wait on product saves and order screens, and you need to know whether it is code, DB or hosting.

A big sale is coming

You need to know the store can handle peak traffic before the campaign, not during it.

Fixes did not stick

You paid for speed work before and it barely moved, so you want the real bottleneck found first.

You inherited the store

You took over a build you did not write and need an honest, independent read on its health.

You need to justify budget

You want evidence and a prioritised plan to take to your team before committing to optimisation spend.

Business Outcomes

What A Proper Audit Actually Gives You

An audit is not a vague health check. It hands you the evidence and the plan to act with confidence.

Real cause

You know the true bottleneck

Profiling shows exactly where time is lost, so effort goes to the issue that actually moves the numbers.

Priorities

A ranked roadmap

Findings are ordered by impact and effort, so you fix the highest-value items first, not the loudest ones.

Quick wins

Easy gains surfaced

The audit flags low-effort changes that can lift speed straight away, before any bigger work begins.

Evidence

Proof to back decisions

Hard numbers and traces you can take to your team or board to justify optimisation spend.

Benchmark

A baseline to measure against

A recorded starting point, so any later work can be proven to have actually improved things.

No waste

No money on the wrong fix

You stop paying for speculative work and spend only where the data says it will make a difference.

What We Check

Eight Layers Of Magento Performance We Audit

A real audit looks at the whole stack, because a slow store is rarely slow for just one reason.

Backend profiling

We profile PHP execution to find slow methods, heavy plugins and the code paths eating your TTFB.

Database & queries

We find slow queries, N+1 patterns, missing indexes and table bloat that drag every page down.

Indexers & cron

We check indexer modes, cron health and stuck jobs that quietly cripple catalog and cache performance.

Extension audit

We identify heavy, conflicting or abandoned modules and third-party scripts loading on every page.

Frontend & CWV

We measure Core Web Vitals and audit JS, CSS, images and render-blocking assets on real pages.

Caching & Varnish

We check full-page cache, Varnish, Redis and hit rates to see how much traffic is served from cache.

Infrastructure review

We assess server sizing, PHP-FPM, the stack and hosting to see where the environment limits speed.

Report & roadmap

We deliver a prioritised findings report with evidence, expected impact and a clear remediation plan.

Audit Depth

Quick Check, Standard Audit Or Deep Dive?

Not every store needs the same depth. A quick check is a fast triage, a standard audit covers the full stack, and a deep dive adds load testing and code-level tracing. Here is how they compare so you scope it to the decision you actually need to make.

How It Runs

How An Audit Turns A Slow Store Into A Clear Plan

An audit is only useful if it ends in decisions. Ours is built to move from symptoms to a prioritised, evidence-backed roadmap.

1

Baseline

We capture current speed, Core Web Vitals and server metrics on real pages, so we have a measured starting point.

2

Profile the stack

We profile backend, database, cache and frontend under realistic conditions to see where the time actually goes.

3

Find root causes

We trace symptoms back to their real source, separating true bottlenecks from things that only look slow.

4

Prioritise by impact

Each finding is scored on how much it costs you and how hard it is to fix, so the order is obvious.

5

Report & walk through

You get a written report and a walkthrough, so your team understands the findings and the plan, not just the scores.

Quick Answers

Straight Answers, No Sales Pitch

What do I actually get?

A written, prioritised report of what is slowing your store, with evidence for each finding, expected impact, and a clear remediation roadmap you can act on with any team.

Do you fix the issues too?

The audit is the diagnosis. We can then carry out the fixes through our speed optimization service, or hand the roadmap to your own developers, whichever you prefer.

Will it disrupt my live store?

No. Profiling and measurement are done without changing your production site. An audit observes and reports, it does not alter your store.

Report & Handover
STAGE 01

Baseline

We record current speed, Core Web Vitals and server metrics so every finding is measured against a real starting point.

STAGE 02

Profile

We profile the backend, database, cache and frontend under realistic load to see where time is actually spent.

STAGE 03

Diagnose

We trace each symptom to its root cause, separating genuine bottlenecks from noise and red herrings.

STAGE 04

Prioritise

We rank every issue by impact and effort so the remediation order is clear and defensible.

AI In Performance Engineering

AI In Magento Performance Audits

Performance data is huge and noisy, and finding the signal is exactly where AI helps. It spots the bottleneck in a mountain of traces, catches regressions early, and ranks findings by real impact. We apply it where it makes the audit sharper.

Bottleneck detection

Surface the slowest code paths and queries from large trace sets faster than reading them by hand.

Regression detection

Flag when a metric drifts the wrong way after a change, so slowdowns are caught before customers feel them.

Impact-based prioritisation

Rank findings by likely effect on speed and conversion so the roadmap targets what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Magento Performance Audits

What is a Magento performance audit?

It is a structured investigation into why your store is slow. We profile the whole stack, backend code, database, indexers, caching, extensions, frontend and hosting, then deliver a prioritised report of what is causing slowness, backed by evidence, with a clear plan for what to fix first.

How is an audit different from speed optimization?

An audit is the diagnosis; speed optimization is the treatment. The audit measures and finds the real bottlenecks and hands you a roadmap. Optimization is the work of actually fixing them. We offer both, and many clients start with an audit so the optimization spend goes only where it will help.

What do I receive at the end?

A written, prioritised findings report with evidence for each issue, its likely impact on speed and conversion, and a recommended remediation order. Where useful we also walk your team through it so everyone understands the plan, not just the scores.

Will the audit slow down or disrupt my live store?

No. Profiling and measurement observe your store without changing it. We work against production carefully and, where deeper load testing is involved, against a staging copy, so your live site is never put at risk.

What does the audit actually look at?

Backend PHP profiling, database and query analysis, indexer and cron health, extension and third-party script load, full-page cache and Varnish hit rates, Core Web Vitals and frontend assets, and the server and hosting environment. A slow store usually has more than one cause, so we check the whole stack.

My Core Web Vitals are failing. Can you find out why?

Yes. We measure LCP, CLS and INP on real pages and trace poor scores back to their causes, whether that is render-blocking assets, heavy images, third-party scripts or slow server response, then tell you exactly what to change.

We tried speed fixes before and they did not help. Why would this be different?

Because we measure first. Fixes fail when they target the wrong thing. An audit finds the actual bottleneck with profiling data, so the effort goes to the issue that genuinely moves your numbers rather than a guess.

How long does an audit take?

A focused audit is typically a matter of days, depending on the size of the store and the depth you need. A quick check is faster; a deep dive with load testing takes longer. We agree the scope and timeline up front.

Do you test how the store handles peak traffic?

In a deep-dive audit, yes. We run load tests against a staging copy to see how the store behaves under peak conditions, which is invaluable before a big sale or campaign.

Can you audit a store you did not build?

Yes, and we often do. An independent audit of an inherited or third-party build gives you an honest, unbiased read on its health and exactly where the problems are.

Will you fix the issues, or just report them?

Your choice. The audit is the diagnosis and roadmap. We can carry out the fixes through our Magento speed optimization service, or you can hand the report to your own developers to action.

Is an audit worth it if I already know my store is slow?

Yes, because knowing it is slow is not the same as knowing why. The audit turns a vague sense of slowness into a specific, ranked list of causes and fixes, so you spend on the right work and can prove it made a difference.
