Technical debt is invisible
until it isn't
Every installed-and-forgotten plugin is an attack surface. Every orphaned shortcode is a broken layout waiting to be noticed. Every revision stored forever is database bloat making queries slower.
It builds up over years — silently. Technical Debt Audit reads directly from your WordPress data to give you the complete picture, then shows you how to clean it up safely.
What gets audited
Eight categories of technical debt, each with a safe cleanup workflow.
Orphaned Shortcodes
Finds shortcodes in content pointing to deleted or inactive plugins
Plugin Graveyard
Identifies plugins installed but never used, activated then abandoned
Builder Archaeology
Dormant page builders with zero pages using them, still bloating disk
Database Bloat
Revisions, expired transients, orphaned postmeta, spam comment backlog
Unused Media
Images uploaded but referenced nowhere — wasted disk and bandwidth
Long Inactive Plugins
Plugins deactivated 6+ months ago that are attack surface for nothing
Debt Score 0–100
Composite cleanliness score with breakdown by category
Safe Cleanup Roadmap
Prioritized week-by-week plan with Respira duplicate-first workflows
