Our team of UK-based WordPress developers are on-hand and highly experienced in debugging and fixing common WordPress and WooCommerce problems. Whether you need a quick one-off fix, a series of improvements, or an ongoing care & maintenance plan to keep your website secure – we’ve got you covered.
Why care about WordPress updates?
WordPress’ built in auto-update functionality give you a hands free “one-click” solution to potential security problems, but what happens if an auto-update knocks out one of your plugins, or breaks your bespoke code? As the number of plugins and themes you have installed increases, so do the risks of incompatibility, security issues and maintenance headaches.
But why do we even need to update anyway?
- Outdated websites are a risk to customer data – failing to update potentially opens up your site to malicious access and interference; what data do you have in your WordPress dashboard that could be breached or exposed to the world? Data protection law requires UK businesses to take “appropriate measures” to keep personal data safe; read more about data security on the ICO website.
- Many business insurance policies have security clauses – knowingly running insecure code on your website could potentially breach your business insurance policy
- Infected websites are a risk to your visitors – websites infected with malware can force unwanted downloads on to visitors, collect data unknowingly, redirect visitors to malicious or unsavoury third party websites
- Insecure websites risk being taken down – many popular hosting providers have an immediate suspension policy on websites found to be containing malware, risking your site’s uptime and ultimately, sales and customer trust
