Successful business owners prioritize three critical aspects of their brand: their reputation, the bottom line, and efficiency in processes to save time, recognizing that time is money. Outsourcing administrative tasks such as website maintenance through a WordPress maintenance package can provide the necessary headspace to focus on daily business operations.
Some of the most common website tasks that can be outsourced through a WordPress maintenance package are listed below.
WordPress theme, core, and plugin updates
WordPress regularly adds new features and improves them, and if your WordPress Core, theme, and plugins are not up to date, your website slowly becomes less secure and stable. This will lead to a poor visitor experience and negatively impact your search engine ranking, so you must check frequently for updates.
Themes are the framework that creates your site’s design and performance, and plugins can be added to your WordPress site to increase its functionality—from creating forms to adding visual effects.
Investing in a WordPress maintenance package will give you peace of mind that you are running the most up-to-date version of every aspect of your WordPress site.
WordPress security monitoring and protection
Apart from negatively impacting your reputation and potentially compromising your visitors, search engines are known to block a malware-infected website, leaving it virtually invisible to search traffic.
Your website’s security should ideally be at the top of your mind, but it likely goes unnoticed most of the time. Signing up for a WordPress maintenance package will ensure your website’s security is continuously monitored and the necessary precautions are taken to protect it from vulnerabilities.
Spam comment cleansing
As a website owner, it’s great to see growth in incoming traffic, but the downside is that when your site gains traction, the number of spam comments it receives also increases. Most of the spam comments come from automated spam bots, and if you don’t moderate them, you’ll find it can reduce your SEO score and significantly slow down your site.
This is a demanding task to keep on top of, so you will be pleased to hear that through a WordPress maintenance package, they will clear any comments from your database and prevent any more from being returned.
SEO optimization
Maximizing opportunities to grow your online presence requires much learning. SEO can be tricky to navigate, but a basic understanding of it has become essential for all business owners who want to see their brand become a household name.
The difficulty is that best practices change regularly, and the initial work to bring your site up to speed is extraordinarily time-consuming and monotonous.
When you sign up for a WordPress maintenance package with WP Tech Support, we will conduct an initial SEO audit on your website and do the necessary work to improve your search visibility.
These are just some of the many essential maintenance tasks on any site. While it’s possible to perform all the maintenance updates yourself, it can be time-consuming and risky if you don’t know how to do them properly, so it’s often better to have a professional developer perform them.
