Magento audit
PushON provides Magento audit services for businesses that want to understand the current health, stability and performance of their Magento Open Source platform.
Magento platforms often evolve over time, with new extensions, integrations and customisations added as the business grows. Without regular review, technical debt, configuration issues or outdated modules can begin to impact performance, stability and security.
A Magento audit provides a structured technical review of your platform, helping you identify potential issues, understand areas for improvement and make informed decisions about future development.
PushON has been working with Magento since 2008, and our audit process is designed to give businesses clear visibility into their platform before investing further in development, migrations or platform improvements.
Why commission a Magento audit?
A Magento technical audit provides clarity on how your platform is performing and where improvements can be made.
Businesses typically commission a Magento audit when:
- Taking over a platform built by another agency
- Experiencing performance or stability issues
- Planning a Magento migration or upgrade
- Preparing for a Hyvä implementation or redesign
- Reviewing the platform before investing in further development
Without a clear understanding of how the platform has been implemented, development work can become inefficient and costly. A structured audit helps ensure future work is built on a stable foundation.
What our Magento audit covers
PushON’s Magento audit provides a comprehensive review of the platform, infrastructure and associated services.
Before the audit begins, we hold a short discovery call to understand any current pain points or areas of concern so they can be included in the review.
Whilst our audits can be aligned to bespoke requirements, we typically cover the following areas.
We review the hosting environment and infrastructure supporting your Magento platform.
Checks may include:
- Hosting configuration
- Server resources and disk usage
- Database configuration
- Deployment processes
- Log files and system monitoring
Understanding the infrastructure ensures the platform is operating on a stable and scalable environment.
Magento platforms rely on correct configuration to operate securely and efficiently.
Our audit reviews areas such as:
- Magento version and patch status
- Admin configuration and security settings
- User roles and permissions
- Core configuration settings
This helps ensure the platform is aligned with Magento best practices.
Magento implementations often include custom modules or customisations developed over time.
Our developers review these areas to understand how the platform has been extended and whether those customisations follow Magento development standards.
This stage helps identify:
- Outdated modules
- Unnecessary extensions
- Potential conflicts or technical debt
Customisations are assessed at a functional level to determine whether they remain necessary and how they may impact future development.
Magento platforms frequently connect with other systems that support business operations.
As part of the audit we review integrations with systems such as:
- ERP platforms
- Warehouse management systems
- Product information management (PIM) systems
- Payment providers
- Fulfilment and logistics platforms
Understanding these integration flows is essential when planning future development or platform changes.
Frontend performance has a significant impact on user experience and conversion rates.
Our audit reviews key aspects of Magento storefront performance including:
- Page speed and loading times
- Theme structure and optimisation
- Asset loading and caching
- Overall frontend performance
Performance issues are documented alongside recommendations for improvement.
Once the audit has been completed, the findings are compiled into a structured report.
PushON presents the audit results using a RAG status framework (Red, Amber, Green), helping businesses clearly understand the severity and priority of any issues identified.
- Green – platform components operating as expected
- Amber – improvements recommended but not critical
- Red – issues requiring immediate attention
The results are presented to your team during a review session, with clear recommendations on next steps.
A Magento audit is often the starting point for improving and evolving the platform.
Following the audit, identified improvements can be prioritised and delivered through:
- Magento Technical Support for smaller fixes and maintenance
- Magento Development Retainer services for larger improvements and platform enhancements
- Magento migration or upgrade projects where more significant platform changes are required
This ensures that the insights generated during the audit translate into practical improvements.
This initial auditing phase has been a great piece of work by PushON, delivering a structured roadmap of what we need to do.
