Audit Your WPCode Snippets with AI

Get a plain-English inventory of every code snippet on your site: what is running, what is switched off, what is failing, and what nobody remembers adding.

Difficulty Beginner
Time ~10 min

Prerequisites

A connected site running WPCode 2.3 or newer (the free version works) on WordPress 6.9 or newer.

The prompt
I use WPCode on my WordPress site. Give me an audit of my code snippets. Use the WPCode abilities and read-only commands only: do not create, change, enable, or disable anything. Read the WPCode settings first and tell me the version, whether safe mode is active, and whether error logging is on. Then list all snippets. Show me a table with the title, code type, where it runs, active or inactive, tags, last updated, and whether it is flagged with an error. For any snippet whose purpose is not obvious from its title, and for every active PHP snippet, read its code and add one plain-English sentence on what it does. Then group them for me: active and healthy, active with errors, inactive, likely duplicates (same or near-identical titles or code), and unnamed or stale (no real title, or inactive and not updated in over a year). For active snippets that load a script from another company, name the company and ask me whether I still use that service. Do not recommend deleting anything outright: for each snippet worth a decision, say what you would check first. Finish with the three that matter most and why.

Skip pasting the full prompt. Drop this into your AI on a site that already has WPVibe:

Run the “Audit Your WPCode Snippets with AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.

Snippets pile up. A tracking script from a tool you cancelled. Two copies of the same webhook, one on and one off. Something called Untitled Snippet from 2024. Each one was a good idea on the day it was added, and each active one runs on every page load. Nobody audits them because it means opening every row and reading code.

The AI lists every snippet through WPCode’s abilities, with its type, where it runs, whether it is active, its tags, when it last changed, and whether WPCode has flagged it with an error. For the ones that need a closer look it reads the code and tells you in a sentence what it does. Then it groups them: running and healthy, running with errors, switched off, duplicates, and unnamed or stale. Everything here is read-only. It recommends, and you make the changes in WPCode.

Paste the prompt as it is. The most useful group is usually the active scripts that load something from another company, because those are the ones that slow pages down and that you may no longer be paying for. The AI cannot tell you whether a service is still in use, so it asks. It also cannot switch a snippet on or off. That stays with you, in WPCode, where each snippet has its own toggle.

Outcome

A table of every snippet with what it does, whether it is running, and a short list of the ones worth a decision.
