Website Maintenance
What is Website Maintenance?
Website maintenance covers CMS/plugin updates, monitoring uptime, fixing broken links, patching vulnerabilities, and refreshing content so the site stays fast and trustworthy.
Example: After a WordPress core release, your team tests staging, applies updates, verifies forms, and restores from backup if a plugin conflicts.
Why Website Maintenance matters
Website maintenance matters because unmaintained sites accumulate security risk, broken journeys, and silent SEO regressions—often discovered only after revenue drops.
How Website Maintenance works in digital marketing
Schedule weekly checks, automate backups, log changes, and run quarterly content/SEO audits.
