Efficiency and accessibility are essential for your e-commerce business. A thorough audit will be conducted to identify areas in need of optimisation (both technical and cost-related) and analyse your entire technology stack to prepare a set of recommendations. This all will ultimately result in increased conversions for your online shop.
The first step is to collect the necessary technical information about your infrastructure, applications, and the underlying technology stack.
We then determine the extent of operations and analyses necessary. We can analyse the entire infrastructure together with the application, or just part of it, or a single element of the technology stack.
Once access is granted, an in-depth analysis is carried out, typically taking from a few to several dozen working hours.
You receive a document of several dozen pages detailing all findings and recommendations that can be implemented.
Every e-commerce infrastructure audit focuses on assessing the performance and scalability of your shop by analysing key aspects such as configuration, database optimisation, and scaling strategies. For cloud solutions, the performance of each key service is evaluated individually. The goal is to ensure that your sales platform (Magento, Shopware, PrestaShop) can handle increased traffic, especially during peak sales periods such as Black Friday or the busy pre-Christmas period.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of the technologies, frameworks and tools used in your environment. We analyse how each element affects the performance, security, and scalability of your online shop.
We are seasoned experts in the analysis and hosting of Magento, Shopware, and PrestaShop. Our review covers all tiers of your infrastructure: from servers and networks to applications and databases.
In an AWS environment, for instance, our approach begins with identifying key infrastructure components such as ECS, RDS, and ElastiCache, reviewing Docker configurations, and evaluating the use of CloudFront, Route53, or other services specific to your stack. We verify the software’s version status, compliance with best security practices, and potential areas for optimisation.
Business continuity is essential for efficient e-commerce operations. Our audit focuses on identifying Single Points of Failure (SPOF) and recommending specific countermeasures, such as redundancy strategies, backups, and disaster recovery plan configurations.
We thoroughly analyse the configuration and implementation of network and application security measures, verify backup and data recovery strategies, and evaluate update and security patching policies. Special attention is paid to firewall configuration, environmental isolation, and data encryption in order to minimise the risk of breaches and ensure the secure operation of your platform even in the event of attempted attacks or failures.
During the audit, we focus on the effective usage of cloud resources. We analyse the workload, scaling and configuration of individual services to find the right balance between performance and cost control. The solutions we offer not only reduce expenses but also improve the flexibility and scalability of your infrastructure.
A comparison of costs between our internal dedicated infrastructure and the cloud is often included, so that the client is fully aware of available options and opportunities for optimisation.
Check out the tools we use in our daily work to optimise shop performance.
We fine-tune the configuration of all services of all services in your e-commerce ecosystem, regardless of its size and complexity. We offer support for all types of infrastructure, both dedicated and cloud-based, and regardless of the application or framework used, every element of your infrastructure that may affect overall performance is examined individually.

What are the stages of the audit?
The first stage is to identify the client’s needs and expectations related to the audit, followed by drawing up the scope of work and providing a quote (flat rate or time & material, to be determined individually). Following that, we acquire access to the relevant environments, conduct the audit per the agreed terms, and either document or immediately implement our recommendations for suggested changes.
What can I expect from Centuria's audit services?
After familiarising ourselves with the environment and the relationships between all components, we verify the configurations, settings and versions of services running on the server. Recommendations are then drawn up based on our experience and expert knowledge gained through maintaining some of the largest e-commerce entities in Poland.
Can Centuria handle the audit of a complex ecosystem?
Yes, we have extensive experience in this area: from ecosystems based on dozens of dedicated servers, through hybrid environments combining public cloud services and dedicated servers, to dedicated cloud services linked to various external systems such as ERP and PIM.
How does the technology stack review contribute to the optimisation of the operating costs of an online shop?
Analysing an online shop’s technology stack provides a thorough evaluation of all technologies and tools in use, contributing to the optimisation of operating costs in several key ways:
Identifying redundancy: by spotting and removing unnecessary, duplicate, or obsolete technologies, we can limit the number of tools and licences in use, which directly lowers costs.
Choosing effective solutions: assessment of whether the technologies currently in use are the most cost-effective available.
Performance optimisation: in-depth analysis helps identify bottlenecks in the infrastructure and apply improvements that enhance performance. Better performance means lower resource consumption, which translates into reduced infrastructure maintenance costs.
Preventing failures: identifying potential points of failure and implementing appropriate preventive measures can significantly cut the risk of costly downtime, data loss, or other issues that negatively impact business operations and company image.
How can an infrastructure audit help in scaling e-commerce services in response to increased traffic?
Through analysis of the current architecture and system performance, the audit helps identify areas that need optimisation or expansion to meet future requirements. This makes it possible to predict resource needs and implement flexible solutions, such as automatic scaling, which enable efficient adaptation to changing traffic conditions. The audit also facilitates the adoption of the most effective technologies and practices, maximising performance while keeping operating costs under control.
How can an e-commerce infrastructure audit increase conversion rates?
An e-commerce infrastructure audit can positively impact conversion rates by helping to identify and eliminate technical issues that negatively affect user experience. Analysing server performance, page load times, and application responsiveness enables the implementation of optimisations that reduce content loading times, which is crucial for maintaining the attention of potential customers.
Improving the security and stability of the platform also builds trust among users, encouraging them to complete purchases. As a result, a well-optimised infrastructure contributes to a smoother purchasing process and a lower bounce rate, which directly translates into higher conversion.
