What Is Website Maintenance? 11 Tasks to Keep Your Site in Tip-Top Shape
Website maintenance is one of those things that doesn‘t matter … until it really matters. Your website is a little bit like a car — a car will keep running for a time without maintenance, but it’s eventually going to stop working someday (probably when you have an important work meeting!). In this post, I‘m going to dig into website maintenance in detail so that you know what you need to do and when you need to do it. I’ll also cover some related questions, such as whether it's worth outsourcing website maintenance and how much it might cost to do that. Website maintenance is an umbrella term for a variety of different tasks that you need to perform to keep your website up-to-date and functioning properly. Some of these tasks include applying software updates, backing up your data, running security scans, and updating content.
