Audit First: Upgrade with Facts, Not Guesswork
Upgrading Umbraco is rarely straightforward. Each project has its own codebase, packages, and infrastructure setup - and these differences make every upgrade unique.
Skipping the audit phase increases the risk of regressions, costly downtime, and compliance issues.
That’s why every upgrade project starts with a full Umbraco Project Audit.
Our two-architect, four-eyes review covers code, packages, performance, hosting, security, and SEO.
The result: clear priorities, quick wins for stabilization, and an actionable upgrade roadmap.
Audit Deliverables
- Version & dependency inventory (packages, APIs, hosting)
- Risk map: compatibility, SEO, performance, security
- Upgrade path to LTS with effort & timeline
- Quick wins to stabilize before the upgrade
- QA plan, UAT scope, rollback strategy
What You Receive
- PDF report (30–60 pages) & executive summary
- Backlog ready for Jira/Azure DevOps
- Live review with architects
- Clear go/no-go and deployment window

Umbraco upgrade - quick answers
Typical projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on version gap, packages, and integrations. You’ll get a timeline after the audit.
We upgrade on staging and deploy during a maintenance window with rollback ready. For most projects, downtime is minimal (minutes).
Upgrade to the current LTS (v13 on .NET 8) for stability now. If your roadmap aligns, plan a scheduled move to the next LTS (v17) once it is released, avoiding long gaps on STS versions.
We provide a compatibility matrix, refactor custom code, and replace unsupported packages. Risks and effort are clearly indicated before implementation.
URLs, redirects, metadata, sitemaps, and structured data are validated. Core Web Vitals are tuned. Search Console and analytics stay intact.
Yes - end‑to‑end. Alternatively, we can work alongside your team through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge transfer.

Take Care of Your Umbraco Project
Most Umbraco projects look fine at first glance. However, our audits consistently uncover 80–100+ real issues and improvement opportunities – from performance and SEO to code quality and editor frustration. Too often, projects fail to meet modern standards and underutilize the platform’s full potential. That’s not an opinion – it’s proof from working the biggest brands.
Like a car with a shiny exterior but a damaged engine – it may look impressive, but it fails in daily use. An audit lets you look under the hood, set priorities, and accelerate safely.
