Why maintain your WordPress Website?
Think of your WordPress website as a car. It’s shiny and new when you get it, but it needs to be maintained regularly to stay in tip-top shape. For example, your car’s oil needs to be changed regularly, the tires need to be rotated and balanced and eventually replaced, maybe something goes wonky with the fancy new software and it has to get a factory update. Either way, if you don’t properly care for your car, it won’t last as long and will eventually break down. Same with your website.
What Maintenance does…
- Increases security and reduce the chance of your website getting hacked or infected with malware.
- Fixes issues with previous versions and/or compatibility with other plug-ins keeping your website running glitch free.
- Adds new features and functionality.
- Gives your users the best experience with the most current versions of code.
- Provides peace of mind, so you can focus on running your business, taking care of your family, or you know, just doing yoga.
The KP Website Design Hosting and Maintenance Plan
Daily or Weekly Back-ups – Stored for 30 days
Sometimes when core files or plug-ins are updated they can break your site because the new files don’t play well with the old ones, or there is some conflicting code. Additionally there’s always the looming threat of a hacker. While regular maintenance is the best way to to avoid being hacked, if by chance a hacker does get through, having a current Backup of your site can take your website’s downtime from hours or days to mere minutes.
Weekly Updating of WordPress Files
Updating WordPress core files, plug-ins and themes is the number one way to keep your site speedy, safe, and up and running.
While some hosting providers offer automatic updates, it has been my experience that an update can sometimes break your site. So it’s important to be present and attentive while those updates occur, so that if something breaks, the changes can be backed out quickly.
I’ll update all your core files, plug-ins and themes each and every week to keep your site in tip top shape. Additionally, I am notified if there are any plug-ins that have vulnerabilities and I will update those immediately if there is a security risk.
