Site Audit (AI-Powered Store Health Check)

The Site Audit feature provides comprehensive AI-powered diagnostics and recommendations for your e-commerce store.

Example Audit Report

Health Score: 78/100

Critical Issues:
- Debug mode is enabled in production
- Install folder not removed (security risk)

Warnings:
- PHP 8.0 detected, recommend upgrading to 8.2+

Recommendations:
- Enable CSS/JS minification for faster page loads
- Configure CDN for static assets

- Set up automated database backups

Taking Action

Prioritize Fixes

1. Critical issues first - Security and data risks
2. Warnings second - Performance and reliability
3. Recommendations last - Optimization and enhancement

Common Fixes

Enable Production Mode (Magento):

bin/magento deploy:mode:set production

Remove Install Folder (PrestaShop):

rm -rf /path/to/prestashop/install

Enable OPcache: Add to your php.ini:

opcache.enable=1
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.max_accelerated_files=20000

Scheduling Audits

We recommend running Site Audit:

• After major platform updates
• After installing new modules/extensions
• Monthly for routine checks
• After security incidents

Audit History

Previous audit results are stored and accessible:

1. Go to Settings > Site Audit
2. View Audit History
3. Compare scores over time
4. Track resolved vs. new issues

API Access

For developers, Site Audit is also available via API:

Run Audit:

POST /api/{platform}/site-audit
Authorization: Bearer {token}

Get Last Audit:

GET /api/{platform}/site-audit/last
Authorization: Bearer {token}

Troubleshooting

Audit Takes Too Long

• Large stores with many products may take longer
• Server load can affect audit speed
• Try during off-peak hours

Audit Fails to Complete

• Check server timeout settings
• Ensure PHP memory limit is at least 256MB
• Verify API connectivity

Inaccurate Results

• Clear all caches before running audit
• Ensure you're testing production configuration
• Contact support if issues persist

Best Practices

1. Run audits regularly - Monthly at minimum
2. Address critical issues immediately - Don't ignore security problems
3. Document changes - Track what you fix and when
4. Test after fixes - Run audit again to verify improvements
5. Keep platform updated - Most issues come from outdated software
