Five Things Your Website Should Be Doing Right Now

These systems should be working quietly in the background, whether you are at your desk, meeting with customers or asleep at night.

  • Backing Itself Up

    Websites can be damaged by hackers, software conflicts, server problems or simple human error. A dependable backup gives you a clean copy of the website that can be restored when something goes wrong.

    A backup is only valuable if it is recent, complete and actually restorable.

  • Staying Up to Date

    WordPress, website themes and plugins are regularly updated to add features, correct errors and close newly discovered security vulnerabilities.

    Outdated software is one of the most common ways a WordPress website becomes vulnerable.

  • Protecting Against Security Threats

    Automated bots continually scan websites of every size looking for weak passwords, outdated software and other opportunities to gain access.

    Security monitoring, malware protection, firewalls and SSL encryption work together to help protect your website, your business and your visitors.

  • Monitoring Uptime and Performance

    A website that is offline, displaying an error or loading slowly may be costing you customers before anyone on your team realizes there is a problem.

    Monitoring helps identify problems before your customers have to tell you about them.

  • Being Ready When You Need Help

    Even well-maintained technology occasionally has a problem. The important question is not whether something will ever go wrong. It is how quickly the problem can be identified and corrected.

    Having a knowledgeable team that already knows your website can turn a major disruption into a minor inconvenience.
