Website maintenance enables your website to run smoothly. You may have a really awesome website, but just like your house or car, it requires maintenance to keep it running. Would you buy a new car and never change the oil? Would you buy a new home and never cut the lawn or change a light bulb? Probably not. Well, your website requires maintenance also. Some of the more common maintenance tasks which should be performed at least monthly are:

Plugin developers release regular updates to block hackers and other vulnerabilities. The easiest way for a hacker to access your website is by not keeping your plugins updated - 83% of hacked Wordpress websites had not been updated!

Your site can go down for a number of reasons. Many clients forget to renew their hosting, or don't update billing methods when credit cards expire. If your site has been hacked, your hosting provider may suspend your server, which will bring your website down. We monitor your website every 5 minutes, and immediately get notified if your site is not accessible.
There is nothing more frustrating than a slow website. About 25% of visitors will leave your site if the page doesn't load within 5 seconds. Some sites which are very content rich, or display full frame high res videos will be the exception to this as long as the site is built with a notification that tells the user to wait while content is loaded. For most sites however, page speed is critical to ensuring your visitors stay on your site. We run regular performance checks on your site, and notify you if there are any issues which need to be addressed as well as suggestions to resolve.
