WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAINTAIN A WORDPRESS WEBSITE?

WordPress is the most popular platform to keep websites running smoothly, though it does take some attention and care to keep the system functioning fast, safe, and – importantly; live. For a small, simple website, many can manage with a simple maintenance plugin, but for a business where uptime is important and fast load times are make-or-break, maintenance services may be required.

Your WordPress maintenance routine should include a variety of regular actions to maintain peak performance, including but not limited to:

  • Frequent security checks and malware removal.

  • Regular site backups.

  • Continuing site speed optimisation.

  • WordPress version upgrades as needed.

  • WordPress theme updates and plugin updates.

  • Broken link and redirect diagnoses.

  • Regular SEO check-ups.

  • Ongoing device and browser compatibility.

  • User Experience optimisation.

If you leave these chores too late or fall behind on maintenance, your website can become dysfunctional, or even worse – your business can fall into legal trouble. Business websites are priority targets for malware and bad actors online, and without regular maintenance and careful security updates, you’re left vulnerable.

Not only can private user data be retrieved from your website, but you can also become blacklisted from search engines if malware is present on your page, resulting in a steep decline in visitors.

WHY YOU NEED WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE SERVICES

For businesses of any size, professional WordPress maintenance services are an excellent investment. Not only do you protect your online presence from security breaches, outdated information, and poor experiences for your customers, but you’re also able to save money on on-site hosting, management, and plugin subscriptions.

Regular WordPress maintenance is a daily task, and the larger or more complicated your website, the more challenging and essential the job becomes. The simplest sites can often manage with a maintenance plugin through their WordPress dashboard. Still, when multiple plugins, themes, custom coding, or a large number of visitors are seen – professional management becomes essential.

SPEED OPTIMISATION FOR YOUR WORDPRESS SITE

Fast load speed is critical for any business’s online presence – too slow, and your customers will turn to your competitors. With the right web host and a site setup optimised by professional developers, you can improve your load speed significantly and keep your customers on your page.

Site speed relies on up-to-date plugins, website performance optimization, premium hosting with considerations for location and congestion during peak traffic timeframes, and intelligent security measures.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION FOR YOUR WORDPRESS SITES

Poorly maintained WordPress websites are rife with several key indicators that flag search engines to blacklist or penalise your site. Malware, spam, and broken links are the main offender, but page load speed, fresh, relevant content, updated plugins, and safe, secure hosting are also noticed.

If you’re trying to make any gains on search engine results pages, a healthy WordPress site is an absolute requirement.

YOUR WORDPRESS SITE ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES

A simple website is likely to function by default across devices or different browsers. Still, custom development, complicated WordPress plugins, and some WordPress themes can cause conflicts on mobile or non-Chromium browsers. With professional WordPress website maintenance services, your site will run quickly and securely on any device, allowing you to reach more customers, and it’s great for SEO.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can Digitize speed up my WordPress site?

After customising your maintenance plan with Digitize, we get your site running, updated, and secure before we make performance enhancements on hosting and core file optimisation to ensure that your site loads as quickly as possible. We make changes on a staging server to reduce the downtime of your site, reduce security risks, and keep your page running smoothly through any transitions.

Our team are experts in WordPress development and are capable of maximising your site’s security, location-based hosting for speed and uncongested access, and back-end optimisations for fast load speeds and SEO opportunities.

What can you do if my site is hacked?

If your website is hacked, we can immediately revert to a recent backup before we engage in our security protocols to secure your data and keep your site live. We take security extremely seriously, so your website will always be up-to-date and never an easy target for bad actors online.

Does my business need a WordPress support plan?

For all businesses, we think there is a plan that suits your needs and will save you money on your online presence. Our business plans are customised for your website, and we’re happy to work with you to find the services you require to optimise your site and grow your business.

Can we change to you if we already have a maintenance provider?

Yes. We’re happy to take over from a previous provider, and we’ll quickly make any changes to your site to bring it up to our standards. We can accept back-end logins from you, or if you’d prefer, we can contact your previous provider and manage the handover.

Do you perform backups on my website?

At Digitize, we run an automated backup system to be 100% certain that your data is completely safe. With no possibility of human error, in the event of a catastrophic failure or hack of your website, we will have it live and running with minimal downtime.

Automated backups are far safer than manual backups and allow your business to be confident that a high degree of service can be provided to your customers.

Will my website be secure with your services?

Digitize takes a security first approach with everything we do. We constantly stay updated with industry best practice, research ways to improve, and rigorously apply security patches and mechanisms as they are released so your data always remains safe.

We ensure that all minimum requirements are met for security including SSL/TLS certificates, regularly updated security plugins, and secure hosting of your website and storage of your code.
