Adobe Commerce Code Audits
Understand What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes
Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source are powerful eCommerce platforms. Customizations, extensions, themes, and data structures can all impact the way your customers experience your site. If you want reassurance that your site was built correctly, or you are looking to get your Adobe Commerce site back on track, a Code Audit and Best Practices Review may be just what you need.
Why Do I Need a Code Audit?
Here are a few symptoms that may indicate you could use an audit:
- Your site is running slowly
- Your site crashes during high traffic
- Poor attribute design
- You have concerns about security
- The theme doesn’t work the way you want it to
- It takes too long to load a cart
What We Do
During a Code Audit and Best Practices Review, we take the time to deep dive in to the implementation of your Adobe Commerce (or Magento Open Source) application.
- We also review how the custom features were implemented, along with any extensions installed.
- We look at configurations to make sure you’re utilizing the application according to best practices.
- We review how your catalog, customer, and product data are structured.
- And finally, we take a look under the hood at the system architecture, database, and theme implementations.
At the end of this project you’ll receive a comprehensive report of our findings. We provide a list of prioritized recommendations and issues to begin tackling. Human Element can then help you remediate these issues or provide guidance on next steps.
What You Get
The following items are included in an audit:
We’ll provide a summary of our findings along with key recommendations for next steps. This area is a summation of everything following in the report.
To start, we take a look at your general setup and application settings. Things like your server specs, Adobe Commerce/Magento Open Source application, load times, cache status, and PHP configuration settings. This tells us where there may be some infrastructure opportunities.
Extensions are an important part of any Magento build. We deep dive and provide a listing of all extensions currently installed on your site. This allows us to see where there might be some redundancies or even vulnerabilities. We also take a look at the current versions of the modules and determine what is out of date or may be modified contrary to best practices.
Overrides are areas where native Adobe Commerce / Magento Open Source functionality has been overwritten. Overrides are not necessarily a bad thing, but not all overrides are created equal. Some can cause problems or are unnecessary.
It’s important to understand what themes are installed on the site currently. We’ve seen scenarios where there are over a dozen themes installed because the client was trying on different looks. However, cleanup of those themes is really important. This also helps us understand where the theme may have added functionality or created an override.
There are different types of errors that we can track on and provide some insight into. We can provide you with an idea of how many errors we’re seeing in the AC error report, AC exceptions, PHP server errors and custom code warnings.
Finally, we provide an in-depth audit of the code starting with the back-end code. This is where we will detail bugs, errors, and issues found and assign them a priority rating. We then look at the theme as well as a general data and config audit.
