Why website maintenance is important

Every day, your website is the target of mostly fully automated attacks from the World Wide Web. Attempts are made to find and exploit vulnerabilities and security gaps in order to compromise your site. If one of these attacks reaches its target, it can cause significant damage to your business and your customers. Attackers can take your site offline or place unwanted content after a successful attack. Successful attackers may gain access to sensitive information, such as contact information or user data. In other cases, your Web site is manipulated to download malicious code when your site is visited, which is then executed on the site visitor’s computer.

Fortunately, a worldwide community of developers is constantly working to close security gaps and vulnerabilities in WordPress. Stay ahead of your attackers by regularly updating the WordPress core, plugins and themes to take advantage of free security updates.

A slow website can worsen your ranking in search engines. In addition, visitors will quickly leave your website if it takes too long to load.

Continuous testing and improvement of your site’s performance should be part of your regular maintenance.

One of the reasons for the great success and widespread use of the WordPress system is its continuous development and expansion with new features by a worldwide community of WordPress developers.

With regular WordPress updates, new features are regularly made available to you for free, allowing you to keep your site current and open up new opportunities for your business.

Worpress is an open system that can be extended and customized by installing plugins and themes. It is important to ensure that all components are compatible and work together smoothly.

The functionality of your website should therefore be checked thoroughly at regular intervals, especially after updating components, and any problems that may occur should be rectified promptly.
