Tasks Involved in Website Maintenance

·         Software Update: WordPress websites are run by a software platform that keeps changing very frequently. To keep the website updated and productive these changes need to be updated regularly. Behind-the-scenes audits and diagnostic activities are also included in it. According to the need of the website, fixes and adjustments are made. The software update is not all about new plugins and themes it also involves security and performance updates. It is advisable to hire a professional to do this job because not all websites are compatible with the updates and the professionals know how to rectify it.

White Hat security believes that 56% of websites had more than one security issue among all the websites they have tested, whereas 86% of websites had at least one security issue.

·         Website Backups: Changes and corruption are normal things for websites. What website maintenance does to tackle these issues is it stores the backups of your website.
