# WordPress Maintenance Service

**Peace of mind as we look after your WordPress site**

**WordPress is extremely popular, powering over 40% of websites! The software needs keeping up to date however, and we recommend updates are done at-least monthly.**

It can be a lottery when running automated updates, with failed updates taking your site offline or causing other issues. We take care of all that for you.

> “Patchstack estimates that 99.31% of all security bugs from 2021 were in components – WordPress plugins and themes.”

## Why WordPress needs to be up to date

### Security

**Popularity makes WordPress a tempting target for hackers.**

Keeping your WordPress core, themes and plugins up to date makes it harder for them to break in. Unauthorised access to your website control panel or it sending out spam emails could be disastrous for your business.

### Functionality

**New features are introduced to WordPress regularly that can make your site faster and easier to use.**

Whether it’s performance increases, support for better image formats or new privacy tools, these new features are often vital to running a modern website.

### Speed

**Speed is important to maintain your search engine placements.**

This is vital if you rely on search engine traffic to attract new clients or customers. A fast site also keeps visitors happy and people will leave in droves if your website takes too long to load.
