WordPress update

WordPress update
The main goal of site maintenance is site security. WordPress is the most popular and widely used content management system in the world. More than a quarter of all websites run on this system. As much as WordPress is the focus of users, it is also a favorite target of hackers. The goal of hackers attacking WordPress is to seize control of your website, obtain your contact database, and abuse it to send and distribute unsolicited content.
Updating WordPress regularly significantly reduces the risk of a successful attack. By updating, you minimize the possibility of losing data, money invested in development, but you also protect yourself from misuse of your website and contacts stored on your website.
Updating plugins
WordPress offers a wide range of ready-made solutions for frequently requested services and features. These solutions are installed in WordPress in the form of plugins. Their availability and wide choice is one of the reasons for the success and popularity of WordPress.
Proper functioning of plugins is only possible if you ensure compatibility with the version of WordPress you are using. After each update, it is therefore important to check the functionality and up-to-dateness of the plugins. For paid plugins, a license renewal is required to get the update.

SSL certificate renewal and check
An SSL certificate provides encrypted and authenticated communication between your site and your site visitor. Over the past few years, SSL certificates have moved from being an optional extra for gaining customer trust, to a must-have. The latest versions of web browsers check the validity of the certificate each time a page is loaded.
In the case of a missing or invalid certificate, the browser will refuse to display the page and mark your site as potentially unsafe. If you have active campaigns directed at your website, you run the risk of a wasted investment, as well as a loss of trust from your customers. The second negative impact is also a decrease in the SEO rating of the page and the associated reduced traffic to your website.
Managing backups
Get maximum security in the form of 14-day backups for your website or e-shop. We offer this service for websites and e-shops hosted with us, on standard hosting (outside of VPS).
The operation of all systems entails a certain degree of risk. Backup is also used to eliminate these risks. In the event of a failure or attack, we can restore your website to the state of the last 14 days.
Spam filter
Forms and commenting tools are a space for hackers to try to attack your website, but a space for publishing unsolicited messages.
To protect against this unwanted activity, sophisticated protection filters are used that can distinguish human behaviour from that of a "robot". But this battle never ends. It is therefore important to respond appropriately. If your site is out of the attacker's reach, even basic protection is enough to keep your site from being overwhelmed and slowed down unnecessarily. However, in the event of increased interest from 'bots', the rigor of the assessment of visits needs to be responded to and reinforced with a higher level of security.
Test of fomrulars
Contact and order forms are one of the most popular tools to start communication. Visitors to your website get the opportunity to respond immediately via the form and take the first step towards cooperation.
The use of a contact or order form is also a common goal for optimizing website traffic and online campaigns. That is why its 100% functionality and regular inspection is important.
Speed test
A properly tuned WordPress system offers high loading speeds commensurate with the scale of the site and the content on a particular website.
The speed check is used to get an indication of a hidden error in the configuration, or it can point out a possible reason for a failure in the monitored conversions. For each speed test, we track the thresholds for positive search engine and paid online campaign reviews. If we also manage your advertising account, we will include a search test in our regular monthly report.
Link to Mailchimp
Confirmation emails
Link to Mailchimp
Like all plugins and extensions, your website's integration with Mailchimp requires regular checking. Just because everything worked at the time of installation doesn't mean it will work forever.
When checking the connection, we check the sending of new contacts to the corresponding audience. In the case of setting up the sending of confirmation messages, we also check the functionality of this setting by performing a test send.
Confirmation emails
Visitors to your website and customers of your e-shop expect immediate interaction and feedback. The easiest way to automate it is to use an autoresponder email.
Just like any other part of the system, sending mail can get into a faulty state and stop performing its function. Regular checking will prevent this condition from persisting unnoticed for a long time.
