audit-report.pdfReport attached: what changed, what was removed and why

Four steps. You merge when you're ready.

  1. Send the repo link.

    Read-only access to the code, plus a copy of the database and the media storage.

  2. Get the audit.

    A plain-language report: which packages change, what has no CMS 13 version, what your code needs, and a fixed price.

  3. We upgrade it.

    Our tools do the first pass. A senior developer reviews and tests every change before it reaches you.

  4. Merge the pull request.

    Your team reviews it like any other change. The report and hand-back notes come with it.

The upgraded code, and the reasons for every change.

  • Your site on CMS 13, as one pull request on your repo
  • Every feature that has a CMS 13 version, kept
  • A page-by-page comparison, before and after
  • Search results compared on the old and new site
  • An audit report your client or manager can read

Questions

Will my site look or work differently?
It's a like-for-like upgrade: every feature that has a CMS 13 version is kept. If an add-on has no CMS 13 version, it is removed and the audit report lists it, with what it did, before any work starts.
Do you use AI?
Our tools, including AI, do the first pass. A senior developer reviews and tests every change before you see it. If you'd rather no AI touches your code, tell us before the quote.
How long does it take?
The audit tells us. Your quote comes with a delivery date, and the price stays fixed.
What do you need from us?
Read-only access to the repository, a copy of the database, and access to the media storage. Nothing on your live site changes until your team merges.
We're an agency. Can we offer this to our clients?
Yes. Ask us for the partner pack.
Is RepoKoala part of Optimizely?
No. RepoKoala is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Optimizely. It is compatible with Optimizely CMS 13.
