Why an Audit Is the First Step Toward Any Scaling
Many companies invest massively in marketing without first checking whether the "bucket" they're pouring water into is even watertight. If your shop has technical bugs or the user experience (UX) frustrates your customers, you're burning real money with every click. A professional audit at mironsoft is a full stocktaking of your digital infrastructure.
We go far beyond what automated SEO tools can deliver. We run a holistic analysis covering every area of your e-commerce ecosystem: from server configuration and code quality to the psychological guidance of your customers through checkout. Only those who know their weaknesses can truly play to their strengths. Our potential analysis shows you in black and white where you're currently leaving revenue on the table, and which levers we can use to maximize your ROI.

The Technical Foundation: Code & Architecture Audit
As specialized Magento developers, we know: the biggest problems are often invisible. In systems that have grown over years, technical debt accumulates. Outdated extensions, unclean core hacks, or inefficient database queries slowly drag the system down.
Securing Stability and Update Capability
As part of our technical audit, we check your code against the official Magento Technical Guidelines. We use static code analysis and manual review to hunt down security holes and performance drains. We analyze your deployment process and your local development environment (e.g. Docker setups). Our goal is to make your system maintainable and future-proof again. The {M} branding stands for our commitment to technical excellence to industry standards.

Performance & Speed Audit: Every Millisecond Counts
Speed is e-commerce's most important currency. A user who has to wait more than two seconds for a page to load is a lost customer. We run an in-depth performance profiling.
We use tools like Blackfire.io and New Relic to identify bottlenecks in real time. We analyze your Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) and give you concrete instructions on how we get your frontend — ideally by switching to Hyvä — into the 100/100 range. We look not just at the browser, but the whole stack: from Varnish caching through Redis configuration to your database's response time. We turn your shop into a high-speed seller.

UX/UI Audit: Understanding the Psychology of Buying
Why do customers abandon their purchase? Often it's small things in the user guidance (UX) that create friction. We analyze your shop from your target audience's point of view. We check your navigation structure, the clarity of your calls-to-action (CTAs), and the efficiency of your checkout.
Our User Interface (UI) audit also evaluates visual consistency and mobile usability. We use heatmaps and session recordings to see where users hesitate or get confused. A potential analysis from mironsoft gives you valuable insights into how small design tweaks can significantly boost your conversion rate. We turn frustration into delight.

SEO & Visibility Audit: Become the Top Dog on Google
What good is the best shop if it can't be found? We run a technical SEO audit that goes far beyond meta tags. We check your semantic HTML structure, your internal linking schemes, and the quality of your structured data (Schema.org).
We analyze your keyword rankings against the competition and identify unused potential in your content strategy. We show you how technical corrections (e.g. fixing duplicate content or optimizing hreflang tags for multistores) massively increase your organic reach. At mironsoft, SEO isn't a secret science, it's measurable engineering.
Chapter 06
Process & Infrastructure Audit: Efficiency in the Backend
An e-commerce audit is only complete when we look at the processes behind the scenes. How does data flow between your shop and your ERP system? Where are there manual hurdles in order processing?
We analyze your API architecture and check the stability of your interfaces (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.). We evaluate your hosting infrastructure in terms of scalability and cost-benefit ratio. We often find enormous savings potential by automating small processes, which directly boosts your operating profit. mironsoft makes your administration as efficient as your sales.

Frequently Asked Questions About the E-Commerce Audit
What's the difference between a quick check and an audit?
A quick check usually only uses automated tools and delivers surface-level data. An e-commerce audit at mironsoft, on the other hand, is an in-depth manual analysis by experienced experts. We check not just symptoms (e.g. slow load time), but find the actual cause in the code or server configuration. The result is a solid basis for decisions across your entire IT strategy.
How long does a full audit at mironsoft take?
A comprehensive audit including technical analysis, UX evaluation, and SEO check usually takes between 5 and 10 business days. During this time we run scans, manually review the code, and analyze data from your analytics tools. At the end there's the report writeup and a shared workshop to discuss results and next steps in detail.
Does my shop have to go offline during the audit?
No, absolutely not. For technical analysis we work on a copy of your shop (staging system) or use read-only access to your source code (repository). We run performance measurements on the live system in a way that your customers won't notice at all. Your daily business continues completely undisturbed while we hunt for weaknesses in the background.
Do we just get a list of bugs at the end?
Quite the opposite. Our audit report is solution-oriented. Alongside identifying problems, we give you a concrete action recommendation and prioritization for each point. We show you the "quick wins" you can achieve immediately, and design a long-term roadmap for strategic optimization. We deliver the blueprint for your future success.
Can you also audit third-party systems (e.g. Shopware)?
Our deepest technical knowledge lies in Magento and PHP architecture (Symfony/Laravel). For these systems we offer code-level audits. For other systems like Shopware, we focus primarily on strategic areas like UX/UI, SEO, and process optimization. We give you honest advice on where we can generate maximum value for you and where we might bring in partners.
Does an audit also help decide on a system switch (relaunch)?
Yes, that's one of the most common reasons for an audit. Merchants often face the question: "Should I repair the old system or build everything new?" Our analysis delivers the factual basis for this decision. We assess the extent of technical debt and compare it to the costs and opportunities of a relaunch. This lets you make a strategic decision based on data instead of guesswork.
Do you also check my shop's security in the audit?
Yes, security is an integral part of our technical audit. We scan for known vulnerabilities, check the status of your security patches, and examine the integrity of your extensions. We also take a look at server hardening and the protection of your admin area. An audit at mironsoft protects not just your revenue, but also your customers' sensitive data.
Can an audit help lower support costs?
Definitely. High support costs often stem from unstable code structures and undiscovered bugs that keep causing errors. By identifying and then refactoring technical debt, we stabilize your system. A clean system needs fewer repairs, is easier to maintain, and thus lowers your ongoing IT costs sustainably and noticeably.
What data do you need for a potential analysis?
For a well-founded analysis we need read access to your shop admin, your Google Analytics (or Matomo), and your Google Search Console. Insight into your ERP system or inventory management is also helpful for understanding process bottlenecks. All data at mironsoft is treated with the utmost confidentiality and used exclusively to create your individual analysis.
Can an audit be run for B2B portals too?
An audit is extremely valuable especially in B2B e-commerce, since processes are often far more complex than in B2C. Here we additionally check pricing efficiency, ERP interface stability, and usability for professional buyers. We uncover how we can lower your sales costs through technical automation and strengthen customer retention through a perfect portal.
Is mobile usability checked in the audit too?
Yes, mobile-first isn't a buzzword at mironsoft, it's the standard. We analyze your shop on a wide range of real mobile devices. We check clickable areas, readability in sunlight, and the efficiency of touch navigation. Since the majority of traffic today is mobile, optimizing for smartphones is often the biggest lever for an immediate boost in your conversion rate.
What tools do you use for performance analysis?
We use a professional toolset consisting of Blackfire.io for PHP profiling, PageSpeed Insights for Core Web Vitals, and specialized database scanners. We also deploy crawler software to check your entire site structure for errors. We combine the data from these tools with our years of experience to give you a crystal-clear picture of your performance.
Can an audit help improve my shop's load time (speed)?
Absolutely. The audit is the necessary groundwork for any speed optimization. We find the "brake blocks" in your system — be it misconfigured caching, a bloated JavaScript framework, or inefficient SQL queries. With the audit's results we can take targeted measures to trim your shop for top speed and secure your rankings.
Do you also support us in implementing the optimizations?
Yes, we're not a pure consulting house. As full-stack developers, we accompany you from analysis to finished implementation. We can fix identified technical bugs directly, optimize your checkout, or migrate your shop to a fast Hyvä frontend. At mironsoft you get analysis and execution from one competent source.
What does a professional e-commerce audit at mironsoft cost?
The investment for an audit depends on the complexity of your shop and the desired scope of investigation. A standard audit starts in the low four-figure range. Consider the ROI though: we often find bugs whose fix lowers your monthly ad spend or multiplies your revenue. We're happy to put together an individual quote after a short initial conversation.
How understandable is the audit report for non-technical people?
That's an important point. Our report does contain a deep technical appendix for your developers, but the main part is written for decision-makers. We translate technical problems into business impact. We explain exactly why a measure matters and what impact it will have on your sales figures. We speak plain language instead of tech jargon.
Can an audit help reduce dependency on agencies?
Yes, absolutely. An audit creates transparency about the actual state of your code. We uncover whether your current agency works to standards, or whether you're being artificially locked in through proprietary solutions ("vendor lock-in"). With our audit you get an objective second opinion and the necessary factual basis to steer your IT partners deliberately.
Is the checkout process also analyzed in the audit?
Yes, the checkout is the most important part of our UX analysis. We check every form field, every payment method, and every error message for friction losses. We identify reasons for cart abandonment and give you concrete recommendations for a "seamless checkout." An optimization here often has the most immediate impact on your business success.
Why should I choose mironsoft for my e-commerce consulting?
We combine deep technical know-how with strategic market understanding. We're not pure theorists, but practitioners who've mastered Magento and PHP from the ground up. As a specialized freelancer, I offer you an agility and thoroughness you often miss at large consulting firms. We work as a partner on equal footing for your measurable success.
How do we start the audit process for my online shop?
The first step is a non-binding get-to-know-you conversation. We discuss your current challenges and your goals. Then I put together a concept for an individual audit package. Just send us a message or give us a call — we look forward to putting your shop under the microscope and rewriting your success story!
