Launching a website is only the beginning. Regular maintenance keeps it secure, accurate, and working well for your customers.

Key points

  • Keep software and plugins updated.
  • Make regular backups.
  • Check that forms and links still work.
  • Review your content and page speed.

Keep everything updated

If your site runs on a platform like WordPress, keep the core software, themes, and plugins up to date. Updates often fix security problems.

Back it up

Make sure recent backups are stored somewhere other than your web host, and that you know how to restore them.

Check that things still work

  • Test your contact and booking forms.
  • Look for broken links and missing images.
  • Make sure your domain name and security certificate haven't expired.

Review content and speed

Update hours, services, and photos when they change. Very large images are a common cause of slow pages, and resizing them can make a noticeable difference.
