Website maintenance
Keep your site secure, fast and up-to-date
A well-functioning website is hugely important for your business. But just like a car or a bicycle, your website needs regular maintenance. This keeps your site fast, secure and highly visible in search engines like Ecosia or Google.
Why is website maintenance important?
Without regular maintenance, your website can:
- become slower
- display layout issues
- become vulnerable to hackers
- rank lower in search engines
Keeping your website up-to-date keeps everything running smoothly. Your visitors get a nice user experience and you rank better in Google or Ecosia.
What does WordPress maintenance include?
If you have a WordPress website, these are the parts that need regular updates:
- WordPress itself
- the theme
- the page builder (such as Elementor or Divi)
- plugins (additional functions)
- security settings
Updates not only introduce new features, they also fix security vulnerabilities and improve performance.
Do it yourself or outsource?
You can do website maintenance yourself, if you have the time and knowledge to do so. Would you rather have someone do it professionally for you? Then I would be happy to help you.
I make sure your site:
- remains safe and stable
- continues to load quickly (under 3 seconds)
- is always up to date
