What this service fixes
AI can build a WordPress or WooCommerce site fast. It cannot take responsibility when that site leaks data, breaks checkout, or quietly fills Google with duplicate pages. This service is the senior cleanup after the AI: we audit what was generated, find what is unsafe or broken, and fix it, with a human accountable for every change.
This is not the same as our general WordPress repair and technical support or a standard WordPress security audit. Those assume a site built by people. Here the failure patterns are specific to generated code and content, and the remediation is different.
How AI-built sites tend to break
The damage clusters into a few recognisable patterns. A typical case is a WooCommerce store where an AI-generated checkout customisation skipped nonce verification, so the cart could be manipulated through a forged request, and nobody noticed until chargebacks started. Another is a marketing site where an assistant generated forty near-identical service pages that compete for the same query, so none of them rank and the whole domain looks thin to Google.
Other recurring failures:
- Generated PHP that calls functions that do not exist, or that were hallucinated from a different plugin’s API.
- Admin-ajax and REST endpoints registered without a capability or nonce check.
- Unsanitised form input written straight into the database or echoed back into the page.
- Plugin sprawl: ten plugins installed to solve a problem one line of code would have handled, dragging Time to First Byte over a second.
- Content with confident but wrong facts, fabricated statistics, and invented client names.
- Migrations the AI “finished” that silently dropped redirects, breaking indexed URLs.
What we check in an AI-build audit
The audit inventories everything the AI touched and triages it by two axes: security risk and revenue risk. We separate the code AI wrote, the plugins it chose, and the content it produced, because each needs a different fix. You get a written split of what is safe to keep, what must be rewritten, and what should be removed, with the reasoning behind each call.
Security gaps generated code commonly ships
Generated WordPress code passes the “it runs” test while failing the “it is safe” test. We test directly for the gaps that matter: missing wp_verify_nonce and current_user_can checks, input that reaches the database without sanitize_* or prepared statements, output that skips esc_*, and endpoints exposed without authorisation. Where the security surface is large, this connects to a full security audit.
Content remediation, not just code
A site built with AI usually has an AI-content problem too. We deduplicate pages that cannibalise each other, correct hallucinated facts and round-number fake statistics, and consolidate thin pages into ones that earn citations. This is the same discipline behind GEO and LLMO optimisation: content that is accurate and distinct, not generated filler.
Performance recovery
AI tends to solve problems by adding plugins. We reverse that: remove the bloat, replace plugin stacks with targeted code, and bring Core Web Vitals back into range. The goal is a site that loads fast for users and renders cleanly for the crawlers and AI agents that now read it.
Rescue, rebuild, or do it right next time
After the audit you get an honest recommendation. If most of the AI output is salvageable, a targeted rescue is the cheapest path. If the foundation is unsound, we scope a rebuild instead of patching forever. And if you want to keep using AI in the build, but safely, with a human gate, that is exactly what our AI implementation for companies covers: agents and tooling with version control, tests, and review built in.
What you get
A working, accountable site: insecure generated code rewritten, broken flows repaired, AI-slop content cleaned, performance restored, and a short guardrails document so the next round of AI assistance does not reopen the same holes. Every change is reviewed by a senior engineer, not applied autonomously.
