Update Your WordPress Software Regularly For Best Results




There's no doubt about it; WordPress is one of the best website creation tools on the market. And more often than not, when it fails, it's because of 'owner error' - in other words, you've forgotten to update your WordPress software!

Plugins are an essential part of the WordPress website, covering everything from security and speed to  customer contact forms and email marketing tools. They are used extensively in website development on the Sunshine Coast.

Security and Performance

The beauty of WordPress plugins is that they are designed specifically for WP sites, so compatibility is never an issue. Used properly, and regularly updated, they will keep your site secure, improve its performance, boost traffic, and make it easier to manage your site.

If you are considering a new website - or you wish to make improvements to your existing WP website - you should talk to web development professionals on the Sunshine Coast. They understand how particular plugins work, and can advise on the best choices for your business.

Keep Hackers Away

WordPress currently powers more than a quarter of the web, which is pretty impressive! And there are some specific plugins which you should probably consider, such as Yoast SEO. This very popular plugin takes your existing SEO strategy and makes it even better. Not only will it boost your search engine rankings, but it's also free.

iThemes Security is another must-have. As the name suggests, it is designed to protect your site from hackers and the like, and is very effective, so long as you update your WordPress software!

Better User Experience

W3 Total Cache will reduce the loading time of your website, and therefore enhance the User Experience, and convert more sales. And JetPack covers a great many needs, particularly analytics. Again, it is crucial to keep JetPack up to date to ensure you are still targeting the right market and delivering an awesome user experience.

There are many more plugins to consider - these are just a couple of examples, covering the key issues. If you plan to manage your own website, ask the professionals which plugins they recommend.

  1. So over SEO plug ins. What in the hell is the sense in checking that my blogs are optimized after I’m already done with them? Now I use Ink for All, this AI-enabled platform that helps out with search engine optimization. Just try to find me a concept or a plug in that is this elegant.
