Magento Code Audits & Technical Debt Reduction

Over time, Magento stores accumulate technical debt - outdated code, unused extensions, and quick fixes that became permanent problems. We audit custom code, the database, and extensions, then hand you a roadmap, not a lecture.

What we audit

CODE QUALITYPHPCS/PHPMD compliance, PSR standards, DI usage
SECURITY REVIEWSQL injection, XSS, CSRF risk
PERFORMANCE REVIEWN+1 queries, missing indexes, deprecated API usage
DATABASE HEALTHTable growth, index usage, orphaned data, log bloat, EAV efficiency
DELIVERABLEExecutive summary, findings, recommendations, effort estimates, roadmap

Our process

01

Review

Custom code checked against PHPCS/PHPMD, PSR standards, and known security risks (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF).

02

Assess

Database health, extension quality, and theme architecture evaluated for bloat, inefficiency, and deprecated APIs.

03

Prioritize

Findings ranked by impact, with effort estimates attached to each recommendation.

04

Roadmap

A phased plan handed over, covering legacy code removal, database optimization, and refactoring.

CAUTION /

An audit that just lists problems without effort estimates is a lecture, not a roadmap - deprecated Magento API usage and unused extensions both look urgent, but only one of them is usually worth fixing before the next release.

QUESTIONS MERCHANTS ASK

Magento Code Audits & Technical Debt Reduction FAQ.

What does a Magento code audit actually cover?+
Custom code quality, security risks, database health, extension quality, and theme architecture - each with its own findings and effort estimate.
What do I get at the end of the audit?+
A report with an executive summary, detailed findings, recommendations, effort estimates, and a phased roadmap.
Do you also fix what the audit finds?+
Yes - cleanup tasks like legacy code removal, database optimization, refactoring, and converting class rewrites to plugins are available as follow-on work.
Can you set up ongoing code quality checks?+
Yes, including automated code quality checks in CI/CD and quarterly mini-audits.
Will the audit tell me which extensions I can remove?+
Yes - identifying unused or redundant extensions, and assessing the code quality of the ones you keep, is part of the extension assessment.
