Why is WordPress website maintenance important?

WordPress is continually evolving with new features and security improvements released on a frequent basis. With this in mind, any WordPress website should have a proper maintenance plan performed regularly. This ensures that the site is kept running smoothly through changes in WordPress software and no functionality is lost.

Not only that, regular WordPress website maintenance will keep your site running smoothly, looking good and staying secure.

A Blackberry Design monthly website maintenance will:

  • Provide regular back ups
  • Scan for malware, identify any possible security issues and suggest improvements
  • Optimise performance improving site speed and image optimisation
  • Maintain websites appearance and functionality in all new major browsers and major devices including mobile phones and iPads
  • Fix bugs, conflicts or other issues related to WordPress, plugin, theme or framework updates
  • Check and fix broken links. If this proves difficult, we communicate with the website owner and either fix, update or remove the broken link
  • Keep websites database in top condition optimising and repairing your database to ensure optimal performance and reduce the occurrence of crashes

How long this maintenance takes is dependent on the size of the site. Blackberry Design’s experience recommends 30 minutes to one hour in total per month.

Given the ever-evolving nature of WordPress and the worldwide web, at some point a website will slow down or something will go wrong so a monthly maintenance package could ensure your site is kept running, tidy and safe.
