The reality is that WordPress requires consistent maintenance to remain stable, secure, and in good working order, like any other software.

WordPress routinely receives new updates, typically multiple new release updates each month, which improve the security and performance of the platform.

In order to make sure that your WordPress website remains secure, your site needs consistent maintenance of the core code as well as any plugins that may be in use.

As a site owner, you want to offer a positive user experience for your visitors. Poorly maintained sites with broken links, errors and warnings, or slow loading times, will push the patience of visitors who are likely accustomed to fast Internet service.

Customers will be less trusting of your website and less likely to interact with your business if your site appears unprofessional or unsafe, either of which can be the undesirable byproduct of a poorly maintained site.

A WordPress maintenance plan is the most fundamental step you can take to ensure that visitors to your site leave with a positive impression of your organization.
