How to maintain your website<\/h1><\/div>

When your website is maintained continuously, the risk of security breaches, technical errors, and declining visibility is significantly reduced. By continuously updating technology, performance, and content, you ensure that the site remains fast, stable, and relevant for both users who need to convert and search engines that assess whether you deserve a top position. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

Unfortunately, we sometimes see companies invest in new, great-looking websites<\/a> and then leave them to run on their own. That is a shame, because a website requires ongoing maintenance to minimise the risk of hacking and security breaches, ensure a good user experience, and maintain visibility in Google. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you will get an overview of what maintaining your website specifically involves, and how you can improve both operations and performance. If you have a particular focus on B2B, you may also want to read our post on how to improve performance on B2B websites<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why update? \u2013 In short <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your website needs to be kept up to date because the technology around it is constantly changing\u2014when it comes to security, speed, and search engine requirements. If you view maintenance as an ongoing operational task rather than a one-off project, the chances are much higher that the website will continue to support the business instead of getting in its way. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The technical maintenance that keeps your website running<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The technical maintenance of your website consists of several parameters. First, you need to ensure that your CMS<\/a> and your plugins<\/a> are kept up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, regular security updates are important to reduce the risk of your website being hacked and sensitive personal data being leaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We carry out many security updates for our customers, and we always do it on a test server to see whether it breaks anything functionally, visually, or security-wise. If it breaks something or creates security vulnerabilities, we fix the issue by coding on the test site before launching. Once we have coded the fix, we push the update live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many companies, the website is built in WordPress<\/a>, and here security is a discipline in itself. WordPress is one of the world\u2019s most widely used CMSs<\/a>, and that is precisely why it is also an attractive target for attacks. If you do not want to keep an eye on updates, security vulnerabilities, backups, and test environments yourself, a fixed WordPress support agreement<\/a> can be a shortcut to peace of mind. Here, a technical team takes responsibility for ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and bug fixing, so you can spend your time on content and business instead of the backend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimise your site speed (or users will leave)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Part of maintaining your website is ensuring that your site loads quickly. This matters both for your website\u2019s ranking on Google and for visitors\u2019 user experience<\/a>. We all know what it is like to visit a slow website, and often we will leave the page again because we do not want to wait. That is a frustrating way to lose customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways you can optimise the speed<\/a> of your website, and if you want a very fast website, you should contact a developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, an easy way to improve your website speed yourself is to compress your images so they do not take up too much space. For this, you can, for example, use the tool TinyPNG<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to work even more purposefully with speed, you can download our e-book on speed optimisation. Here we go much deeper than in this section and review six very specific actions you can carry out yourself to make your website or webshop significantly faster: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an ongoing eye on your SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do not continuously ensure that you optimise your website for search engines<\/a>, you risk not getting the most out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEO<\/a> stands for “S<\/strong>earch E<\/strong>ngine O<\/strong>ptimization”, and by SEO value I mean the website\u2019s ability to be found on Google.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
