Code Review and Audit

If you have a live project that isn’t quite performing as expected, we offer remote code review and audit services, and can then advise on performance optimisations.

Code reviews and audits are a quick and inexpensive way of hiring us to help improve your website load time and overall performance.

Who it’s for

Code reviews and audits are designed for clients who have a digital team or web developer ready to implement changes, and need a specialist to advise on changes to improve the load time and website performance.

The problem it solves

A live website that loads slowly or underperforms is hard to fix without knowing where the time is going. A review of the code identifies the bottlenecks, and the audit gives your team clear performance recommendations to act on.

How long it takes

This can usually be carried out remotely and takes between 1 and 4 days depending on the complexity of the project.

If your project code is of a size that would take us longer than four days to review and audit, then you should probably consider website performance consultancy rather than a code review.

How to tell if you need one

If you are unsure if you would benefit from a code review and audit, there are fortunately a few quick tests you can run to see how well your website is currently performing.

If you run your website through Pingdom you should ideally be getting a performance grade of “A 100” and a load time ideally under 1 second, but under 2 seconds is acceptable if you have an image/video heavy site.

If your load time is above 2.5 seconds, then a code review will almost certainly be useful.
