WordPress Maintenance – Website Maintenance.
As a business owner or website owner, keeping your WordPress website up-to-date and properly maintained is essential. There are several reasons why this is important, including improved website performance, enhanced security, and access to new features.
Improved Website Performance
Keeping your WordPress website up-to-date and adequately maintained ensures it runs smoothly and loads quickly. Outdated code and plugins can slow down your website, negatively impacting the user experience and search engine rankings. Regularly updating your website ensures that it is optimized for speed and performance, providing a better user experience and improving your website’s overall functionality.
Enhanced Security
Due to its popularity, WordPress is a popular target for cybercriminals, and not keeping your website up-to-date and properly maintained can leave it vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Outdated plugins and themes can have security vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit, resulting in data loss, reputational damage, and financial losses. Regularly updating your website ensures that security vulnerabilities are addressed promptly, keeping your website protected against cyber threats.
Access to New Features
WordPress is continually evolving, with new features and functionalities being added regularly. Not keeping your website up to date can result in missing out on these new features, impacting user experience and website functionality. Regularly updating your website ensures access to the latest features and functionalities, ensuring your website stays up-to-date and user-friendly.
Avoiding Compatibility Issues
Third-party developers develop WordPress themes and plugins; not all keep their products current. Not keeping your website updated and properly maintained can result in compatibility issues with outdated themes and plugins, broken functionality, crashes, and reduced website performance. Regularly updating your website ensures that your website is compatible with the latest themes and plugins, ensuring that your website functions correctly and that your users have a positive experience.
Lowering the Cost of Maintenance
Regularly maintaining your WordPress website can save you money in the long run. Not maintaining your website regularly can result in more significant problems that can be costly. Regularly updating your website ensures that you catch and address issues early, reducing the need for expensive repairs in the future. Additionally, regular maintenance ensures that your website remains stable, reducing the likelihood of crashes, which can be costly.
Conclusion
In conclusion, keeping your WordPress website up to date and properly maintained is essential for improved website performance, enhanced security, access to new features, avoiding compatibility issues, and lowering the cost of maintenance. Regularly updating your website ensures that your website is optimized for speed and performance, providing a better user experience and improving your website’s overall functionality. Regular maintenance ensures your website remains secure, reducing the likelihood of cyber-attacks and data breaches. Not keeping your website up to date can result in compatibility issues, website crashes, and reduced website performance, impacting the user experience and search engine rankings. Regular maintenance can save you money in the long run, reducing the need for costly repairs and ensuring that your website remains stable.

Updates (WordPress, Themes, Plugins)
Hackers use “known exploits” or vulnerabilities that have already been discovered and posted online to gain access to out-of-date websites. This is why I stress the importance of daily updates to keep all of your website software on the cutting edge of both security and performance
Daily Check
Website Backup
Daily back-ups are essential in ensuring that even if a catastrophe were to strike, we could quickly restore your site to its former glory. If you have ever performed an update on your website only to have a disaster strike in a corrupted update file and crash your entire website, you will be happy to know we have daily backups to restore your website.
Daily
Optimization
Every time you add a blog post, change anything, including pictures or text, or add any new content, your website creates logs of these changes that slow down its ability to load the latest version of its pages. Optimizing your database can significantly improve your page speed.
Daily Check
Malware Scanning
We scan your site and report our findings to you. If there is ever a problem, we will have a course of action to solve it as soon as possible.

Performance benchmarking / page speed
Your page load speed is part of what gives you an excellent mobile-friendly rank. With today’s emphasis on mobile-friendliness, you must do everything possible to ensure your site follows this trend. That is, how long it takes to load your website into a user’s browser. Everyone is shooting for 3 seconds, and anything slower than that is starting to negatively affect your search rankings.
