Launching a WordPress website is an exciting milestone for any business, but the work doesn’t stop once the site goes live. Ongoing WordPress maintenance is critical to keeping your website secure, fast, and functional. Unfortunately, many web design agencies leave this responsibility entirely to their customers—often without making it clear how important regular maintenance is.
At DMPHosting, a brand of Digital Marketing Partner, we take the burden off your shoulders by handling critical WordPress maintenance tasks as part of our hosting service—even if your website was built by another agency.
Why Maintaining Your WordPress Website is Non-Negotiable
WordPress powers over 40% of the web, making it a prime target for hackers, malware, and performance issues if not properly maintained. Keeping plugins, themes, PHP, and the WordPress core application up to date is crucial for:
✅ Security
- Outdated WordPress sites are a major security risk.
- Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in old plugins, themes, and WordPress versions to inject malware, steal data, or take control of websites.
- Regular updates patch security holes and protect your site from threats.
✅ Performance & Speed
- New updates often include performance improvements that make your site load faster.
- Faster websites improve user experience and SEO rankings—Google prioritizes speed in search rankings.
- Enhanced caching and content delivery optimization keep visitors engaged.
✅ Functionality & Compatibility
- Plugin and theme developers frequently release bug fixes and new features to improve site performance.
- Failing to update your site can lead to broken layouts, non-functioning features, and plugin conflicts.
- Keeping PHP updated ensures your site remains compatible with the latest WordPress updates and performs optimally.
✅ SEO & User Experience
- Google favors secure, fast, and properly maintained websites.
- If your site crashes, loads slowly, or gets infected with malware, your rankings will suffer.
- Ensuring all technical SEO elements are functioning properly helps maintain and improve search rankings.
Why Many Web Design Agencies Don’t Handle Maintenance
Here’s a harsh reality: Most web design agencies focus solely on launching websites—not maintaining them.
Many customers assume their website will be automatically updated and protected after launch, but in most cases:
- Web designers move on after project completion.
- Site owners aren’t properly informed about the need for ongoing maintenance.
- Hosting providers don’t always include managed WordPress services, leaving customers to handle updates themselves.
This lack of ongoing support often results in:
❌ Outdated plugins & themes that cause security vulnerabilities
❌ Slow website performance due to lack of optimizations
❌ Unexpected downtime & broken features after updates
