The website maintenance checklist.
Websites, like buildings, need maintenance. Ignored long enough, small issues compound into large ones — security vulnerabilities, broken forms, slow pages, lost search rankings.
A good maintenance rhythm includes regular software and plugin updates, weekly backups, uptime monitoring, performance checks, security scans, and periodic content edits.
Most of that work is invisible when it's done well and painfully visible when it isn't. That's the argument for a monthly maintenance plan: someone quietly looking after the site so you don't have to think about it.
