ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Technical audit

So you know when you go to the doctor and they check your body to make sure everything is healthy and working the way it should be? A technical audit is like that, but for a technology system.

Let's imagine a website is like a human body. The website has different parts, like the home page, the links to different pages, and the contact form. The technical audit is like a check-up on all these different parts.

A technical expert will look at different things, like whether the website is loading quickly, whether all the links are working properly, and whether there are any security issues that need to be fixed. They will make a list of things that are good and things that need to be fixed.

Just like how the doctor may give you medicine or recommendations on how to be healthier, the technical expert may suggest changes to make the website run better or be more secure.

The goal of the technical audit is to make sure that the website is functioning correctly and is safe for people to use. It's like making sure the website is a healthy body, just like how the doctor wants to make sure that you have a healthy body!
