Shero's certified Magento developers review the codebase, extensions, database queries, and performance configuration and deliver an impartial assessment of what is wrong and what it will cost to fix.

What a Magento code audit covers

Shero's Magento code audit reviews custom code and extension quality, database query performance, front-end rendering, caching configuration, server-side bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities. The deliverable is a prioritized issue list with severity ratings, fix recommendations, and estimated remediation effort for each finding.

  • Custom code and extension quality review
  • Database query performance analysis
  • Front-end rendering and JavaScript audit
  • Caching and server configuration review
  • Security vulnerability assessment\nPrioritized remediation plan

Why merchants choose Shero for Magento code audits

A code audit from a team that does not know Magento misses the platform-specific problems that matter most. Shero's auditors are certified Magento developers who have worked inside complex Magento codebases for 16+ years.

01

Impartial audit not tied to a prior engagement

Shero offers standalone Magento code audits to merchants who are not existing clients. The audit gives an honest assessment of your codebase regardless of who built it, without the conflict of interest that comes from your current developer reviewing their own work.

02

Extension quality reviewed against Magento standards

Third-party extensions that override Magento core files or use deprecated APIs are a common source of upgrade failures and performance problems. Shero reviews every installed extension for code quality, core override usage, and compatibility risk with the current and next Magento version.

03

Database query analysis for slow stores

Slow Magento stores are usually slow because of inefficient database queries, missing indexes, or N+1 query patterns from custom code or extensions. Shero uses query profiling to identify specific queries causing slowness rather than recommending generic caching improvements.

04

Pre-launch audit that prevents post-launch fire-fighting

Merchants who are unhappy with a pre-launch build from another agency use Shero's code audit to get an independent assessment before accepting the work. The audit identifies performance issues, security gaps, and code quality problems that should be resolved before the store goes live.

05

Security assessment included as standard

Magento is a common target for card skimming and data theft attacks. Shero's code audit includes a security assessment covering custom code vulnerabilities, outdated extension versions with known CVEs, and Magento security patch status. Security findings are reported separately with a clear remediation priority.

06

Agency transition audit before taking over a Magento store

Shero conducts a code audit before taking over any Magento store from another agency. The audit establishes the current codebase state, identifies technical debt, and provides a realistic picture of ongoing support requirements. This prevents surprises after the transition.

How Shero runs a Magento code audit

01

Onboarding: Access and Scope

We collect access to the Magento codebase, database, and admin. We confirm the audit scope: full code review, performance-focused, pre-launch quality check, or security-focused.

02

Foundation: Codebase Review

We review custom code quality, extension architecture, core override usage, deprecated API usage, and coding standard compliance across the full codebase.

03

Optimization: Performance Analysis

We profile database queries, review caching configuration, analyze front-end rendering performance, and identify server-side bottlenecks causing slow page loads.

04

Scale: Security Assessment

We assess custom code for common vulnerabilities, review extension versions against known CVEs, and check Magento security patch status for the installed version.

05

Reporting: Prioritized Findings

We deliver the audit report with findings organized by severity: critical, high, medium, and low. Each finding includes a description, remediation recommendation, and estimated fix effort.

06

Ongoing: Support or Handoff

Clients can act on findings independently, commission Shero for remediation work, or proceed to an ongoing Magento support arrangement. Clients who transition to Shero support use the audit as the foundation for the support roadmap.
