About this category: Maintenance & security
Many website problems start after delivery: plugins that were never updated, a backup that was never tested, hosting that slows down at busy times or images that make pages heavy. The articles in this section help you spot and prevent these problems before they turn into downtime, a hack or a drop in rankings. Regular maintenance is usually cheaper than fixing a major failure, and you don't need to be a developer to keep track of much of it yourself. You just need to know what to check, how often and with which tool, and when to hand the job to a specialist. These articles set out that task list in plain language, step by step.
A suggested reading order: start with the WordPress maintenance checklist to learn how regularly to handle updates, backups, security checks and clean-up. Then the website speed optimization guide shows how to find problems with official tools such as PageSpeed Insights and which fixes have the biggest impact.
The technical section of the interactive SEO checklist is also useful for periodic reviews of speed, security and indexing. If you don't have time to keep up with these tasks, the website care & maintenance page explains MyTarh's monthly services.
