We’ve all been there: after writing a text, it can be hard to spot spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Similarly, even if you’re experienced in programming, mistakes can slip through, and you might need expert help to review your code.
What should be reviewed?
Themes, plugins, and general code all require regular reviews to ensure they’re compatible, stable, and secure. Plugins, in particular, pose a risk—some may be insecure or incompatible with others. Regular code reviews help ensure everything works seamlessly, keeping up with the latest updates and changes.
Why do we need to review our code?
Improperly written code can cause various issues. If it’s written in the wrong language or has an unclear structure, it may not be read or executed as intended. Moreover, WordPress updates can break code compatibility, causing it to malfunction. Regular reviews help identify such problems before they impact your website.
Good code should:
- Be written clearly and efficiently
- Follow accepted design patterns
- Offer solutions that are fast and reliable
When should code be reviewed?
Code should be reviewed on an ongoing basis, as a support resource for your current developers and teams. Experienced developers often have the necessary skills to identify potential issues, but not all teams have this level of expertise. Expert reviews are especially helpful when complementing and supporting teams of junior developers.
