Reviewing legacy code ensures a website’s reliability, security, and performance. It helps to identify outdated practices, vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks, which allows you to modernize your system and secure it for the future. Regular reviews reduce risk, improve maintainability, and contribute to overall system stability and compliance.
Built on outdated technologies and platforms, websites can be insecure and inefficient, with outdated coding practices, design patterns, and architectural principles compounded by a lack of test coverage that prevents bugs from being detected and regression from occurring.
The difficulty of modifying the code arises from the complexity and lack of modularity, which leads to unpredictable behavior during changes, indicating potential code quality issues. Confusing code makes it difficult to understand and maintain. Manual processes prone to human error increase vulnerability to staff turnover. Lack of documentation for system operation and infrastructure management adds to the challenges.
