: Just like cars need regular maintenance, your WordPress website also requires proper upkeep. Skipping updates and plug-in maintenance may not cause immediate issues, but over time, it can lead to serious problems that could have been easily avoided.
When it comes to maintaining your website, it’s crucial to keep up with the latest security patches by updating your plug-ins regularly. Most updates are related to security, and failing to keep them current leaves your site vulnerable to hacking attempts. At Bull Tech, we recommend updating your plug-ins at least once a month to keep your website secure.
Not only do regular updates make your site more secure, but they also make it easier to manage. If you fall behind on updates, it can be challenging to catch up and can cause issues when you do try to update your website. While you can technically update plug-ins yourself, it’s best to leave it to the experts. At Bull Tech, we have experience maintaining hundreds of WordPress sites, and we update all plug-ins every month to avoid security issues.
However, it’s important to note that plug-in updates can sometimes break your site. To avoid this, updates should be done on a staging version of your website to prevent issues on the live site.
If you have any questions about maintaining your WordPress website, Bull Tech is here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for expert advice and support.
