The Scenario
Your developer says everything is fine. The site loads, the forms work, the SSL certificate is green. And maybe they're right.
But you've got a nagging feeling. Bounce rates are up. A customer mentioned the site felt "slow" on their phone. Someone asked if you're GDPR compliant and you didn't have a confident answer.
You don't need ammunition for a fight. You need a neutral, independent expert opinion — something that lets you have an informed conversation.
What the Audit Reveals
Performance on real mobile
Not just "it loads" — actual Core Web Vitals on a simulated 4G connection. The gap between desktop and mobile is often shocking.
Security headers they may have skipped
HTTPS is the minimum. We check CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and more. Many dev teams skip these because nobody asked.
SEO gaps they may not consider their job
Missing meta descriptions, broken internal links, no JSON-LD. Developers build features — SEO often falls through the cracks.
Accessibility issues that could be a legal risk
Full WCAG 2.0 AA audit. Missing alt text, low contrast, broken keyboard navigation. Increasingly a compliance requirement.
What You Do Next
Share the Executive One-Pager before the meeting. It's written in plain English — no jargon, no blame, just findings.
Discuss the Priority Matrix together. It shows what to fix first, what can wait, and how much effort each fix requires.
Use the effort estimates to plan. "This will take a senior dev 2 hours" is a conversation starter, not an accusation.
