If you’re a WordPress Website Owner then you can pat yourself on the back for being amongst the smart crowd. Its power, user-friendly format, and flexibility explain why WordPress is the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS).

Unfortunately, if websites (including WordPress websites) aren’t maintained they can be hacked, compromised or infected with viruses. Some attacks are just a minor and annoying inconvenience, while others can have far more devastating consequences. Malicious code can destroy websites that people have invested thousands of dollars to have built. Other websites have sent out thousands of spam emails without the owner’s knowledge. It wasn’t until their emails were blacklisted and they received complaints from clients that they got an inkling of what was going on.

How important is your website to your business?

What impact would there be on your sales and marketing if your emails were blacklisted or your website was down?

How Can You Keep Your WordPress Website Secure?

Your website should be regularly checked, monitored and remotely backed up. The WordPress core and all plugins should be kept up-to-date. Speed, responsiveness and incompatibility issues should be fixed immediately. Strong Passwords should be used and changed at least once per month.

Website maintenance can prove to a time-consuming task, taking you away from your core business activities. As WP Maintenance specialise is WordPress (designing, building and maintaining) let us monitor, maintain and regularly backup your website for you, so you can focus on what matters most to you.

Please note that while the WP Maintenance team are huge fans of WordPress  who love designing, creating, optimising, and maintaining websites using the genius technology that is WordPress, we are not, in any way, associated with WordPress.org or WordPress.com.
