⚠️ Common Maintenance Pitfalls
❌ Delayed Updates
Postponing updates exposes your site to security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues. Always test updates in a staging environment first, then apply them promptly.
❌ Inadequate Backups
Many sites have backups but never test them. Regularly verify that your backups can be successfully restored. Store backups in multiple locations for redundancy.
❌ Ignoring Performance
Slow sites lose visitors and revenue. Monitor page load times, optimize images, and implement caching strategies to maintain peak performance.
