Your Website Needs Regular Maintenance And Support
As with any structure, problems can arise over time.
Hosting
Hosting is where your website lives—the servers and software behind the scenes. I can help evaluate your current hosting setup and migrate to a more effective web host, when appropriate.
Features of an Effective Hosting Package
Crash Recovery
Many web hosts offer one-button recovery in the event of a crash or fatal issue with your site. Believe me when I say this is a life saver.
Regular Backups
Regular, scheduled backups are key to your site's long-term health. It's the difference between losing the entire site because of one mistake and easily restoring a working version from a few days ago.
Cache Management
Your website should have some kind of cache, which is a mechanism to reduce page loading times for your visitors. Your web host should have a way to clear and manage the cache for your website.
FTP and Database Access
To effectively manage your site, it's essential for developers to have easy access to the files and database that power it. And it should be easy for you to manage that access.
Speed
Speed is vital to your site's success. Visitors who wait for your pages to load won't stick around long. And as Google says, they are obsessed with speed. Help your site gain rank and retain users by focusing on site speed. I can identify areas for improvement, then make your website as fast as it can be. And if we really want to go there, I can refactor your site to get a very rewarding 100% PageSpeed score.
Security
Your website is under constant attack by bots and potential intruders looking for outdated plugins, misconfigured servers, weak passwords, and many other ways to hijack your website. I have seen and protected websites against all of these attacks and more. Get a comprehensive evaluation of your website's security profile today.
