Is website maintenance essential?
A user-friendly and well-functioning website is an essential part of your organisation. Just like a car, a website needs regular maintenance to keep performing optimally. At The Dare Company, we know how important good website management is. We support companies in keeping their website up-to-date, ensuring security and optimal speed. In this blog, you can read why structural maintenance is necessary.
Protect your website from hackers
Outdated software can be an entry point for hackers. Cyber attacks and data breaches are then a constant threat. By performing regular maintenance, such as updating plugins, themes and security patches, you reduce the chances of hackers breaking in. With regular maintenance, you keep your website safe and reduce risks. Moreover, it improves the performance of your website, as updates often also improve speed and functionality. This keeps your website not only safe, but also optimised for your users.
Optimal speed and findability
Nobody likes a slow website. Forms that cannot be sent, buttons that do not respond or pages with error messages create frustration among visitors and can cause them to drop out. Moreover, Google penalises slow pages in search results because search engines prefer well-maintained websites. By performing regular checks and updates, your website will remain technically sound, more findable and offer visitors a smooth experience.
Prevention is better than cure
You obviously don't assume it, but a crash or a human error could just cause (part of your) website to be gone. Apart from being a shame, this is damaging to your business, especially if important data or customer information disappears. Adopting a backup strategy is the best way to ensure that your website is safe. By backing up regularly, you will always have the most up-to-date version available when something happens. If something goes wrong, you can easily restore an earlier version without rebuilding everything from scratch. This saves time, reduces stress and minimises the impact for your visitors and customers.
