What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is the practice of monitoring your website’s overall health and performance. Keeping a website up-to-date is crucial to ensuring it's working at full capacity, engaging and retaining site visitors.
There are a number of tasks required to properly check and maintain a website, including updating security software and plugins, adding fresh content, increasing new and returning traffic, and meeting the satisfaction of your site users. While some of these points are more time-sensitive than others, each one will be addressed.
Why is website maintenance important?
Website maintenance can impact your business’s first impressions, SEO strategy, security and sales. Whether you’re a business owner or starting a blog, you’ll want to make sure that when people and search engines land on your site, they will immediately see the benefits of your site’s offerings — or risk losing them. This means that your ability to rein in and retain online interest lies primarily in your website maintenance.
Having said that, if you go too long without regular website maintenance, your site could suffer in the process. Your website will begin to run slow, stop converting leads, potentially house malware and get hacked, thereby causing problems for those who click on it. It could even stop working altogether.
