WordPress Maintenance & Security

Wordpress is by far the most widely used Content Management Service (CMS) in the world, with approximately 43% of the estimated 1.93 billion active websites on the internet (as of the beginning of 2022) are built with Wordpress (over 60% of all CMS built websites are built with WP). That means that two out of every five websites use WordPress. As a result of this popularity, this makes all Wordpress sites a potential target for hackers everywhere, some estimates indicate there are at times upwards of 90,000 hack attempts on Wordpress sites every minute. While most of these attempts are thwarted through updated plugins and themes, many do actually succeed in gaining access to website data and, depending on the intent of the hacker, can severely affect any Wordpress site, either by allowing sensitive data to be stolen and/or a website being taken down altogether.

There are many necessary tasks that should be done on a regular basis to maintain your Wordpress website to help ensure your site is significantly less of a target for hackers. This includes keeping the Wordpress core files updated with the latest version release, as well as the various plugins your site may be using. Furthermore, there are methods for both monitoring for potential attacks as well as backup options and security updates that should be made on a regular basis to both prevent attacks and, in the worst case situation, be able to quickly recover a website should a successful hack were to be made.

The Wordpress Maintenance Packages offered by Web Propeller provide Wordpress site owners a peace of mind knowing that their website is being regularly maintained, optimized for security, and monitored at all times to reduce the odds of a debilitating hack.
