We have all experienced how when you write text, it can be difficult to see your own spelling mistakes and to review what mistakes have been made. Maybe you do not have enough grammatical knowledge to be able to see the linguistic mistakes you have made, in turn making the text take on a completely different meaning for the readers. When it comes to code, it’s the same thing. Even if you know how to program, things can go wrong. This is why you may need the help of experts who can review and analyze your code.
What should be examined?
Themes, plugins, and general code need to be examined to make sure that everything is compatible, stable, and secure. When using plugins, there is a risk that plugins may not be secure or that they won’t work together in the ways that you want. Therefore, it is important to continuously review and correct on an ongoing basis, so that the function and technology will keep up with updates and changes.
Why do we need to review our code?
If code has been written in the wrong language or has a structure that may be unclear, this may prevent the code from being read in the desired way. An incorrectly written code can also be problematic when updating WordPress, as there is a risk that the code is not compatible and does not work after the update has taken place.
The code behind a website may need to be reviewed to ensure that it:
- Is written in a correct and clear way.
- Uses accepted design patterns.
- Has solutions that will be fast enough.
When should the code be reviewed?
The code should be reviewed on an ongoing basis, as a kind of resource for current developers and teams. Reviewing code requires experience and expertise, something that not all developers have. Therefore, it may be a good idea to use an expert as a compliment and as support for a team of junior developers.
