You have invested a lot of money and time to create a website. But a website is not something that can work on its own. It needs regular maintenance, just like your car. The best way to keep a site alive is with fresh evergreen content while making sure that your site functions and navigates properly with a constantly updated website maintenance task list. In this video, I'll show you how you should take care of your website for Peak Performance.
A well-maintained website is crucial for its optimal performance. If you want to grow your number of visitors, maintain search engine rankings, and improve your branding, it's always best to have a solid maintenance plan in place.

DAILY TASKS
✅ Moderate comments
If you have a blog on your website, you’ve probably seen a string of comments that are spam offers and messages. The most efficient way to process these comments is to use anti-spam modules or plugins available for a wide range of platforms. You can choose the one that suits your needs best and will cut your involvement to once per week approving comments from real people and checking if the plugin didn’t flag a real comment as spam. It’s great to see engagement on your blog from real people and stating the blog is monitored by anti-spam will help protect you and your community.

WEEKLY TASKS
✅ Stay Up-to-Date
If you want to keep your website properly functioning, prompt installation of updates is a must. Security patches, core, plugins, and theme updates each and every week. In order to ensure high security standards of your store and simplify functionality updates in future, you have to perform these tasks on an ongoing basis.
✅ Runs Backups of Your Site
Protecting your website data with a weekly backup is the first task on the website maintenance list for a good reason. We all are aware of the fact that WordPress websites can come across any kind of problem like getting hacked, data getting deleted, and many more. Having no backup when it’s needed, can erase all of your hard work. That is the reason why backing up your website on a regular basis is an important aspect of WordPress maintenance checklists.

MONTHLY TASKS
✅ Website Performances
One of the most crucial website maintenance activities is testing web pages to make sure they load quickly. These days, web surfers only give pages a few seconds to load before they lose interest. If your site is full of slowly loading pages, it can hurt your traffic. Pages load quickest when they are not bogged down with large file sizes or complex web applications.
✅ Fix Broken Links and Errors
You should periodically check for broken links on your entire website. You can identify broken links through the google analytic tool and broken link checker. Redirect those broken links to preferred site destinations to prevent bad user experience and devaluing your SEO efforts.
✅ Change Passwords
Passwords are your first layer of protection from unauthorized access to your website. Any WordPress protection tips will not work if your username and password are weak. Though creating a new password is not a difficult process, many WordPress site owners ignore it and put their website at higher risk.

Website maintenance might not have been your top priority until now. We hope this video has helped you understand its importance and benefits.
