Description

BoltAudit gives you a clear, actionable overview of what’s slowing down your WordPress site.
It inspects:
– Active plugins and their actual impact on performance
– Unused, abandoned, or rarely-used plugins
– Heavy scripts, enqueued styles, database queries, and metadata
– Autoloaded options, transients, and custom DB tables
– Post details page with orphaned metadata and orphaned post records
– Server environment and PHP configuration

Whether you’re a developer, site owner, or agency, BoltAudit gives you visibility into bottlenecks with zero guesswork.

  • Breaks down post types, metadata, revisions, and orphaned types
  • Analyzes option tables, autoloaded data, transients, and more
  • Database snapshot with table sizes, row counts, autoload bloat
  • Server environment checks: PHP, MySQL, memory limits, upload size
  • Lightweight, on-demand diagnostics—no front-end performance impact
  • Responsive, accessible UI with performance optimizations

A Game Changer Plugin in WordPress Performance Auditing

I’ve been running BoltAudit on my WordPress site for the past few days, and it has quickly become an indispensable diagnostic tool for plugin and performance health. If you’re serious about site performance, BoltAudit is a smart and focused auditing tool that provides real insight without slowing things down. I was able to identify a bloated plugin, trim unused metadata, and spot environment misconfigurations - all within a couple of clicks. It’s lightweight, developer-friendly, and incredibly transparent. Highly recommended for site owners and agencies looking to understand exactly what’s impacting performance—and how to fix it.
