Popis
Versys Site Audit & Technical Handover is a WordPress site audit and technical documentation plugin for agencies, freelancers, developers, site owners, and internal IT teams.
Use it when you inherit, maintain, migrate, troubleshoot, or hand over an existing WordPress website and need a clear answer to four questions:
- What is installed and configured?
- What needs attention?
- Why do important components exist?
- What should the next administrator know before making changes?
The plugin runs a local, on-demand website audit, stores an explainable inventory snapshot, provides structured Technical Documentation records, and generates a browser-printable Technical Handover Report.
How does it work?
- Run the WordPress site audit.
- Review the detected environment, inventory, findings, and operational-readiness score.
- Add technical documentation for important plugins, themes, integrations, licences, procedures, and contacts.
- Generate a client or developer handover report from the latest audit and documentation.
What does the WordPress site audit check?
The on-demand audit inventories:
- WordPress, PHP, database, HTTPS, debug, cache, locale, and permalink environment details.
- Active, inactive, network-active, and must-use plugins.
- Active and inactive themes, including child-theme relationships.
- User role counts and administrator accounts.
- Recognised form and SMTP/mail plugins without claiming delivery success.
- WP-Cron events and Action Scheduler counts when its public store API is available.
- Database size, largest tables, revisions, and transient row counts when database permissions allow.
- Conservative external-service signals using installed plugins and allow-listed option names.
- Child theme, Additional CSS, must-use plugin, and code-management plugin signals.
Technical Documentation
Create a permanent operational record inside WordPress for:
- Components and why they exist.
- Integrations and external services.
- Licences and renewal responsibility.
- Operating and maintenance procedures.
- Technical contacts and ownership.
- General implementation and handover notes.
Detected plugins, must-use plugins, and themes can be linked to documentation records so a future administrator can understand their purpose before changing or removing them.
Technical Documentation is not a password vault. The interface warns against storing credentials, and common credential-like patterns are redacted before storage.
Audit findings and operational readiness
Each finding includes severity, a plain-English explanation, evidence, confidence, a recommended manual action, first-seen and last-seen dates, and an acknowledgement state.
The 0-100 operational-readiness score is an explainable convenience metric. Every deduction is shown. It is not a security, legal, compliance, or safety certification.
Technical Handover Report
Generate a standalone browser-printable report on explicit administrator request. The report combines the latest WordPress site audit, documented components, integrations, procedures, and selected findings into one technical handover document.
Use the report for client handover, developer takeover, maintenance onboarding, internal IT documentation, migration preparation, or an inherited-site review.
The report does not include automatically discovered secret values.
Privacy and data handling
- No telemetry.
- No external SaaS dependency.
- No AI dependency.
- No remote calls during ordinary admin loads or audits.
- No credential values collected from integration settings.
- Audit snapshots can store administrator usernames, display names, email addresses, registration dates, and recognised last-login metadata locally in the WordPress database.
- Technical Documentation records can contain contact details and other information entered manually by administrators.
- This information is not sent to Versys Media or any third party by the plugin.
- Reports are generated only on explicit administrator action.
- WordPress privacy-policy suggested text is added for site administrators.
- Integrates with WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools for matching locally stored administrator and documentation data.
Non-destructive by design
Version 1 is read-mostly. It does not deactivate plugins, update software, clean the database, reschedule jobs, change users, or delete site components during an audit.

Nejčastější dotazy
-
What does Versys Site Audit & Technical Handover do?
-
It audits the operational structure of a WordPress website, inventories important components, helps document why those components exist, and creates a technical handover report for future administrators, developers, agencies, clients, or site owners.
-
How do I audit an inherited WordPress website?
-
Install the plugin, run the on-demand Site Audit, review the inventory and findings, document critical components and integrations, then generate the Technical Handover Report before making major changes.
-
What does a WordPress website audit include?
-
This plugin checks environment details, plugins, themes, users, forms and mail tooling, WP-Cron, Action Scheduler where available, database information, recognised integrations, and custom-code signals. It also creates evidence-based findings and an explainable operational-readiness score.
-
What is a WordPress technical handover?
-
A technical handover is a structured record of how a website is configured, which components and services matter, who owns or maintains them, what procedures should be followed, and what the next administrator needs to know.
-
Can agencies use this for client website handovers?
-
Yes. Agencies and freelancers can audit a site, record component purpose and ownership, document procedures and licences, and generate a printable handover report for a client or another developer.
-
Does the plugin change or clean the website?
-
No. Version 1 is read-mostly and non-destructive. It does not deactivate or delete plugins, change themes, modify users, update software, reschedule cron events, retry actions, clean database tables, or remove revisions and transients.
-
Is this a security scanner?
-
No. It is an operational site audit, technical documentation, and handover tool. It does not replace a dedicated security product or professional security review.
-
Does an overlap finding mean two plugins conflict?
-
No. Overlap findings use conservative metadata terms to identify active plugins in the same functional category. The evidence and confidence are shown and manual review is required.
-
Does detecting an SMTP plugin prove email delivery works?
-
No. The audit records recognised mail-tool presence only. It does not send test mail or claim end-to-end delivery assurance.
-
Does the plugin use AI or send site data to Versys Media?
-
No. Version 1 works locally without AI, telemetry, SaaS, or remote audit calls.
-
Does the plugin store API keys or passwords?
-
It does not read credential values from integration settings. Administrators are warned not to enter secrets in Technical Documentation, and common credential-like patterns are redacted before storage.
-
What happens to data when the plugin is removed?
-
Deactivation always retains data. Uninstall retains data by default. An administrator can explicitly enable Delete all Versys Site Audit & Technical Handover data on uninstall in the plugin settings.
