Regular backups
Website Backups are a must
Every website owner should have backups of their website in case something goes wrong (including offsite backups).
For example, your site may become compromised by malware or malicious code and need to be repaired, there may be a problem with the hosting company, you may accidentally delete pages or content, or a theme update can break your page
Regular Updates
WordPress needs to be updated on a regular basis.
Because of the open source nature of WordPress it benefits from ongoing scrutiny - A team of experts work constantly on it, improving and fixing any bugs or security issues as they become apparent.
This means that updated versions are released frequently with at least 2 major updates every year and minor fixes issued in between to address security issues and any bugs in the system.
Why update WordPress?
To improve website security: New security features prevent hackers from gaining control of your site and inserting malicious code. Keeping your site safe is important for maintaining your business and for preserving your search engine ranking - hacked websites can be blacklisted by search engines.
To fix bugs: WordPress updates are issued on a regular basis to fix functionality problems and optimise the way in which your website operates. Applying the updates keeps your website in tip-top condition and keeps everything running smoothly.
