Maintenance and Security
How Secure is your Website?
Keeping valuable data secure is paramount. Most of the out of the box websites are woefully under-protected against attacks such as Brute Force, DDOS, and Malware.
Blocking malicious IP’s, limiting logins, ensuring correct file permissions, are all effective in denying hackers access.
Maintenance and Security Go Hand in Hand.
Regular Maintenance Improves Security
Keeping everything up to date on your site is important to its security, that means plugins and core files should be kept current.
Automating and Scheduling regular backups is another critically important step to proper security.
Backups go beyond security, having them on hand can avoid costly headaches should anything go wrong. A mishap during routine maintenance can ruin a whole site if you’re not careful, back up’s make it easily restorable.
Improve Site Performance
Having a slow loading site can kill a user’s desire to continue browsing, and that’s not good. Proper maintenance can help to avoid this.
Fortunately, maintenance presents an opportunity to improve site performance, caching, image optimization, and minifying scripts while preforming maintenance can keep your site running smoothly and efficiently.
