So why do I need a maintenance plan for my WordPress site?
Security
Your WordPress website needs regular maintenance to perform as it should. Updates are always being made to WordPress itself as well as themes and plugins. Keeping your WordPress installation up-to-date is extremely important, especially since so many WordPress updates are security fixes and patches that will prevent potential exploits of the vulnerabilities of your website or blog.
Because WordPress is so widespread, it is constantly being targeted by hackers who will try to break into your site and wreak havoc. As soon the WordPress developers find these vulnerabilities, they create patches to fix them, leading to regular updates that will keep your WordPress installation clean and safe. If you do not keep your WordPress installation current, you risk becoming the next victim to malicious attacks that can be easily prevented by keeping your WordPress code up-to-date.
More Content means More Visitors
The more content you add to your website, the more pages Google has to index. So, not only will your website benefit from the activity – but with new content coming online, your site will have that many more chances to be found during a search.
Your Search Engine Rankings Depend On It
If you look at usage and traffic statistics related to business websites, there is overwhelming proof that out of date websites get far less visitors. Why? Because when potential clients search Google for something, the results they are shown are categorized and prioritized by Google’s ever-changing weighting system. When a site goes for a length of time without any new content, or updated information, Google’s system assumes this site is inactive and your rankings will slip.
Focus on what YOU like to do. Let the LunaBlu Design handle the website.
For small businesses and large businesses alike, this is a very important distinction. All too often, website maintenance is assigned to an individual or department that has many other tasks that are more pressing. When you also consider that they may not be equipped to easily update the website, you have a recipe for website stagnation. Having an outside agency helping keep the website up to date, frees you AND your employees to focus on what you are good at, and building your business!
