Description

BoltAudit is built to answer one question clearly: why is this site slow?

Alongside local diagnostics, BoltAudit now includes AI Audit for deeper, evidence-backed investigation through your BoltAudit dashboard.

What BoltAudit covers:
– AI Audit root-cause analysis with prioritized actions
– Plugin audit (inactive, outdated, abandoned, and high-impact plugins)
– Plugin-level impact signals (hooks, cron behavior, queries, assets)
– Database health (autoload bloat, transients, table size and usage)
– Post details and orphaned metadata checks
– WooCommerce-focused performance visibility
– Environment snapshots (PHP/server configuration)

Features

Root-cause-first AI Audit workflow
Bottleneck layer identification (frontend, backend, database, infrastructure)
Evidence-backed findings and recommended fixes
Prioritized action plan with expected impact
Confidence-aware reporting when firewalls/security tools limit visibility
Continue Audit mode for deeper follow-up investigation
One-click connection from plugin to BoltAudit cloud dashboard
Deep Scan permission control from inside WordPress
Read-only diagnostics designed for safe production use

Installation

Upload the boltaudit folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via Plugins Add New.
Activate BoltAudit through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
Open Tools BoltAudit.
To use AI Audit, open the AI Audit tab and connect your site to your BoltAudit account.

FAQ

Does BoltAudit change or delete my data?: No. BoltAudit is read-only and does not auto-delete plugins, posts, options, or tables.
Does BoltAudit slow down my site?: No. Audits run on demand and are designed to avoid front-end runtime impact.
How does AI Audit work?: Connect your site from the plugin’s AI Audit tab, run an audit from the BoltAudit dashboard, and review the generated bottleneck analysis, findings, and top fixes.
What is Deep Scan?: Deep Scan is an explicit permission toggle that allows expanded diagnostics for richer AI Audit evidence.
What if security/firewall tools block checks?: BoltAudit flags blocked measurements, lowers confidence where appropriate, and provides guidance so you can re-check connectivity and rerun for a complete result.
Will this work on large or complex WordPress sites?: Yes. BoltAudit is built for real production stacks, including plugin-heavy and WooCommerce environments.

This plugin is really helpful for identifying website issues, especially slow performance. It provides an easy way to view post type database queries and the options table. Most issues can be diagnosed quickly. Highly recommended for site troubleshooting!

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.

BoltAudit is hands down one of the most useful tools I’ve used for diagnosing performance issues on WordPress sites. The plugin gives a clear breakdown of what’s slowing down your website, from heavy plugins and unused add-ons to autoloaded options and database bloat. I especially appreciate the detailed plugin-level metrics, database insights, and server environment checks—all presented in a clean and easy-to-understand interface. The fact that it runs diagnostics on-demand without affecting front-end performance is a huge plus. If you’re serious about keeping your WordPress site fast and healthy, BoltAudit is a must-have. Kudos to the developer for creating such a thoughtful and comprehensive tool!

Makes it easy to see what’s cluttering your WordPress database. Helps with identifying plugins that may potentially slow down your website (So, that you can either replace with an alternative or add a simple code snippet to get rid of a heavy plugin) Developed by a trustworthy developer, who is expert in WordPress performance optimisation.
