Daily maintenance of a WordPress website

The daily maintenance of a WordPress website is often keeping track of comments and updates. Also, of course, it's about interacting with your audience by posting updates and blogs. We can't take the interaction with your audience off your hands of course. But the other half of the daily work can. This way you can focus on growing your website instead of the time consuming work of the technical side of WordPress.

Keeping Plugins Up to Date

The most updates you will encounter when maintaining a WordPress website for a while is updating Plugins. Most WordPress websites will have about five or ten plugins installed. Each plugin has pretty much a monthly update round that doesn't all come at the same time.

Updating these plugins is very important as this is where most hacked websites come from. Malicious people break in through an outdated plugin that has not been updated with the latest update. More on this in the dedicated heading below.

Plugins can bring more benefits besides security, such as the latest features to make the plugin work just a little better. Or offer just that last feature you were missing. So you can benefit a lot from keeping Plugins up to date within a WordPress website.

Updating themes

Updating Theme Updates from WordPress not only gives you access to the latest technology on a user interface basis. Like keeping your website suitable for mobile devices with AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages. Which ensure that your WordPress website can load as fast as possible on the latest smartphones. But also offering the latest features for desktop devices.

This way you can keep the bounce rate low on your website and retain visitors who find you through social media, Google or other search engines. Because say it yourself, a website that looks outdated doesn't exactly exude confidence.

Updating themes can cause a lot of problems, however, and often requires more than a simple push on the update button. If something goes wrong during a theme update it can bring the entire WordPress website down. Fortunately the latest WordPress versions now have a temporary solution for this by reverting to a default Theme. But all your changes you may have made to make your website look the way you want it to will be lost.

With managed WordPress hosting MijnHostingPartner.nl can offer you, we have an update process policy for themes that not only fixes problems. But also preserve all your personal changes. In any case you can rely on us for that extra step, advice and guidance what is best for your WordPress website.

Preventing and resolving conflicts

What you can have with any update with either a Plugin or a Theme is a conflict. An older plugin that is not compatible with the latest PHP hosting version. Or a plugin that no longer works together with a theme. You name it. To solve and track down these conflicts can take a lot of time. Time you can better spend in growing your WordPress website.

With the Managed WordPress Hosting from MijnHostingPartner.nl you don't have to worry about maintaining your WordPress website anymore.

Daily backups

Daily backups are a must when it comes to keeping your WordPress website secure. With our backups we have a fallback plan in every situation to keep your WordPress website up and running. Many WordPress hosters will fall back on restoring a backup. At MijnHostingPartner.nl we will also track down the underlying reason and solve it.

This way we don't just stick our finger in the dike but invariably fix leaks.

Preventing SPAM in your posts

WordPress websites where comments or posts are on suffer from SPAM, this is just the reality of the internet. This can be not only disturbing for yourself but also potentially dangerous for your visitors. So it was up to you as the maintainer of a WordPress website to counteract this.

With the maintained WordPress hosting of MijnHostingPartner.nl we have SPAM protection enabled by default and we filter as much as possible. If we see that certain messages get through, we put them on the blacklist for you immediately. So that no further inconvenience is caused.

The dangers of WordPress maintenance

If, for example, a WordPress website is not updated for several months, a lot of bad things can happen. SPAM comments can go sky high causing the database to get bigger and bigger. This makes the WordPress website slower and can be a danger to your visitors that you work so hard to preserve.

Outdated plugins and themes may no longer be supported by the {hosting} itself. Because while the website is lagging, the hosting itself can be updated by a hoster. As a result, you get the well-known white screen.

And the most dangerous part is that due to the outdated plugins and themes, hackers or malicious people can take over. Two things can then happen in most cases. The website is routed to a Malware source so that computers, smartphones or other devices are infected. Or on the website itself, malicious code can be injected which can have all the nasty consequences.

Not only do you lose face for your business or website when this happens but it can also mean that years of work can be lost. Therefore it is important that you have a party you can fall back on. MijnHostingPartner.nl is that party for you.
