WordPress Maintenance

Elevate Your Online Presence

Secure, Optimize, and Enhance Your Website for Peak Performance

It's estimated that around 30,000 websites fall victim to hackers each day. Globally, 64% of companies have faced some form of cyberattack. On average, the web witnesses a new attack every 39 seconds. The vast majority of these incidents could be thwarted with diligent website maintenance—and, of course, by avoiding overly simplistic passwords like "password."

Modern websites can be likened to cars; they serve as a conduit for businesses to connect with new customers and drive future growth. This comparison holds especially true when considering the need for upkeep—just as cars require regular maintenance to function optimally, websites need consistent care to perform as expected. WordPress maintenance is crucial for ensuring your website continues to achieve the outcomes you desire, helping to avoid expensive repairs down the line.

We understand business owners juggle numerous responsibilities daily, leading to WordPress maintenance sometimes falling by the wayside, with potentially severe repercussions. The reality is, without proper preparation, it's not a matter of if a cyberattack will occur but when. At Maennche Marketing, we aim to simplify staying current and safeguarded against the ever-present risk of hackers and other cyber threats with our comprehensive WordPress maintenance services.

Why is WordPress Maintenance Important?

WordPress, a free and open-source platform, currently powers over 42% of the web, ranging from extensive eCommerce sites to simple blogs. Its adaptability to suit any business need is undeniable. However, the open-source nature of WordPress means that its code is accessible for anyone to scrutinize, searching for vulnerabilities. This accessibility makes it a prime target for hackers and other malicious entities.

Hackers are incredibly clever and will continue to find new ways to perform cyberattacks or steal business data. For this reason, WordPress and plugin developers are constantly releasing updates to patch problems and ensure websites can maintain a high level of security. But what happens when you aren't installing these updates?

Simply put, you are taking a risk each day that you put off WordPress maintenance – and the consequences can often be devastating to a business. Researchers have found that more than half of all small businesses that are victims of a cyberattack will never recover due to the financial burden it creates. If you aren't keeping up with your WordPress maintenance, you could be the next business that falls victim to this far too common problem.

Some of the critical steps we take to ensure security and functionality include:

  • Updating Core Software and Plugins
  • Fixing Broken Links
  • Removing and Stopping Spam
  • Monitoring Uptime
  • Performing Daily Backups on the Primary Server
  • Maintaining the Database
  • Cleaning Up Code
  • Scanning for Malware
  • Storing Weekly Backups on an Offsite Server
  • Performing Monthly Manual Maintenance & Security Inspections
  • Verifying Current Software Versions
  • Ensuring Database Optimization
  • Fixing Code Bugs or Visual Changes
  • Performing Weekly Security & Plugin Updates
  • Providing Quarterly Performance Recommendations

What Makes Maennche Marketing Different?

At Maennche Marketing, we're such strong proponents of WordPress maintenance that we include it as a complimentary feature in all our website hosting plans. It's been discovered that more than 90% of WordPress sites that aren't updated or adequately secured end up being compromised. While this statistic might seem alarming, our dedicated team is here to ensure your WordPress maintenance needs are met, allowing you to concentrate on the core areas of your business. The peace of mind this provides is invaluable.

With Our WordPress Maintenance Services, Clients are Guaranteed:

A Secure Website

Maintenance plays a pivotal role in enhancing the cybersecurity of a WordPress website. Keeping plugins and core software up to date ensures your site stays safeguarded against the latest security threats. Neglecting WordPress maintenance almost inevitably leads to security breaches. And without a robust disaster recovery plan or backup strategy, recovering from such incidents can be both prolonged and costly.

Attempting to manage WordPress updates by yourself can be daunting and incredibly time-consuming. This challenge is precisely why many sites, including those of prominent companies recently in the news, fall prey to cyberattacks. Partnering with Maennche Marketing offers the assurance that your website is not only protected but also operates smoothly for your visitors. Why delay securing your website's cybersecurity for another day when you could guarantee its safety now?

Seamless Updates And Backups

Updates for WordPress are released frequently, and if a business isn't diligently applying them, they're potentially compromising their website's security and performance with each passing day. Maennche Marketing stands out from other digital marketing firms by not just updating plugins and hoping for the best. Our process involves rigorous, human-led verification. We meticulously examine every facet of your website, from its functionality to any visual alterations, to ensure its stability.

Moreover, all WordPress maintenance plans at Maennche Marketing include weekly backups stored on an external server. This precaution means that in the event of any issues or if an update doesn't function as expected, we can revert your website to its previous state while we await a solution. While backups are essential for any disaster recovery strategy, we handle all the technicalities so you can concentrate on delivering exceptional customer service.

An Improved User Experience

Enhancing user experience is paramount for any website, especially considering over 50% of visitors will abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. WordPress developers frequently roll out not only security patches but also performance improvements. Ignoring these updates can slow down your site, detrimentally affecting your search engine rankings and conversion rates.

Updates are essential for refining user experience, but the quality of your hosting plan is equally critical for ensuring your site is fast and user-friendly. At Maennche Marketing, we understand the significance of selecting the right web host for online success. This is why we offer robust hosting solutions paired with our complimentary WordPress maintenance services. If you find updating alone isn't enough to optimize your site, explore our web hosting options to see how we can elevate your online presence.

Expert Recommendations

WordPress website maintenance encompasses far more than just essential security and functionality updates. With continuous enhancements in features and plugin options, alongside the phasing out of older plugins, there's a real risk that the plugins you currently rely on may become obsolete or unable to receive necessary future updates. Such situations can lead to new security vulnerabilities and negatively affect the user experience.

As part of Maennche Marketing's thorough update process and verification of their success, we also undertake a comprehensive review of your website to identify any features or plugins that could be optimized. Our WordPress experts are equipped with the insight and experience to suggest modifications that could significantly boost your site's performance, functionality, and more. This approach guarantees our clients peace of mind, knowing their website is prepared for the future.
