WordPress Site Issue Audit

For when something’s broken – but you’re not sure what.

You know something’s off with your WordPress site — maybe a plugin update broke something, your forms have stopped sending emails, or a feature that used to work suddenly… doesn’t.

You’ve tried Googling. You’ve poked around the settings. You might’ve even contacted support, but you’re still stuck. And meanwhile, your site isn’t doing what it’s supposed to.

Let’s fix that.

What You Get

This is a flat-fee deep-dive audit of your WordPress site that aims to uncover what’s actually happening behind the scenes.

  • A secure, siloed local copy of your site – no risks to your live environment
  • A thorough investigation of the problem (including plugins, theme conflicts, code snippets, email triggers, or server-level issues)
  • A plain-English findings report with recommendations and next steps
  • A 30-minute follow-up call (optional) to go over your options
  • Zero jargon. Zero guesswork. Just clarity.

What This Isn’t

  • This is not a fix-it-on-the-spot service.
  • It’s a diagnostic audit – so you can make smart, informed decisions.
  • I’ll provide a separate quote if you’d like me to implement the recommendations afterwards.

How It Works

  1. You complete a short intake form describing the issue
  2. I’ll request admin access and permission to create a secure offline copy of your site
  3. I investigate the issue in a controlled environment (no risk of triggering real-world problems or emails)
  4. Within three business days, you’ll receive a detailed report
  5. Optional: we jump on a call to go over it

The Solution

If you’re a small business owner or marketing manager without technical expertise, you shouldn’t be expected to know how to fix this, and trying to can make things worse.
