What Kind of Trouble Can Your Business Website Cause?

If you’re not regularly archiving and maintaining your CMS website, you might be getting yourself into trouble. Whether you work with a web developer or ARE the web developer, know that monthly tasks need attention if you want to avoid a headache.    

CMS Websites are continually evolving, and so is your web browser. Hacks and flaws are recognized and fixed through software updates; your theme and your hosting service need to stay current with those changes. If they don’t, even when your browser tries to protect you, you’re just naked.

A slow page load may be more than a matter of inconvenience or a negative SEO factor. It can be a sign of malware or virus invasion. If your site is hacked, it’s pretty easy to end up sharing malware with your visitors. While AVG, Norton, and McAfee are pretty good at detecting and destroying potential issues on your computer, more can be done on the back end (your website) to keep up security.

Regular website maintenance makes all the difference.

Web developers need to understand computer security. If you or your web developer don’t take necessary anti-virus precautions, your company’s online reputation is entirely at risk. It only takes a hacker access to a developer’s computer to do serious damage to ALL the sites the developer manages. Don’t mess around.
