E-commerce Website Audit
Beyond SEO, your online store lives or dies on speed, checkout flow and product page experience. This audit reviews your e-commerce site as a whole — performance, usability and conversion friction — to find what's costing you sales.
What a E-commerce Website Audit Covers
Every Contextread e-commerce website audit reviews these six areas in detail.
Site Speed
Load time across category, product and checkout pages.
Checkout Flow
Steps, fields and friction in the purchase process.
Product Page UX
Images, descriptions, reviews and add-to-cart clarity.
Mobile Shopping Experience
Usability specifically for mobile shoppers.
Trust & Payment Signals
Security badges, return policy visibility and payment options.
Search & Filtering
On-site search accuracy and filter usability.
Do You Actually Need a E-commerce Website Audit?
High Cart Abandonment
Shoppers add to cart but don't complete purchase.
Slow Product or Category Pages
Pages take too long to load, especially on mobile.
Low Mobile Conversion Rate
Mobile shoppers convert far less than desktop.
On-Site Search Feels Unreliable
Customers can't find products even when they exist.
Checkout Feels Long or Confusing
Too many steps or unclear progress indicators.
Preparing for a Sale or Peak Season
You want the store performing well before a traffic spike.

AUDITED
How Long a E-commerce Website Audit Takes
A small store audit takes 5 to 7 days. Mid-size stores take 10 to 15 days. Large/enterprise stores take 20 to 28 days including sample-based product page review.
We test the real purchase path
Rather than reviewing pages in isolation, we walk the actual path a shopper takes from landing to checkout confirmation.
DIY vs. a Professional E-commerce Website Audit
Doing It Yourself
- ✕ Easy to miss issues you're too close to see

- ✕ Hard to stay objective about your own work
- ✕ A list of observations, not a prioritised plan
Contextread Audit
- ✓ Reviewed by a specialist, not a generic checklist tool
- ✓ Benchmarked against 2-3 real competitors
- ✓ Independent, data-first assessment
- ✓ Findings turned into a 90-day action plan

What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Cutting checkout steps before peak season
Checkout required five separate pages including an unnecessary account-creation step before guest checkout was even offered. Streamlining to three steps ahead of a major sale event changed completion rates.
