Website Maintenance

Our approach to website maintenance
Think of WordPress as one of the apps on your phone. Like those apps, regular updates are required to bring us new features and security updates.
While new features are great, those security updates are vital to the health of your website. Attackers are constantly scanning websites looking for known issues to exploit. The easiest way to protect again this is to keep everything updated.
What’s included in website maintenance?
Backups
Stored on an external service. A lot of website hosts do backups which is great. What happens when the host is not accessible or their backups are damaged? This is where this extra backup provides extra security.
Security Checks
When a security flaw is discovered and published often this is followed buy an update to close the flaw. But what happens if the plugin or theme is no longer updated. The security checks flag this issue for us to find a replacement.
Performance Checks
Hosting providers are not static and can suffer from performance degradation over time. This is hard to spot without regular checking.
SEO Ranking
Keep an eye on how your site is performing with this basic report.
Uptime Monitoring
The website is pinged every 15 min to ensure it is still responding.
Link Monitoring
Broken links can affect your search rankings. While there are plugins that do this function they can also bog down your website.
