Leave the ongoing maintenance of your website to us...
WordPress is without question the most popular CMS. Due to its easy-to-use interface, even novice users can log in and update their web pages or blog posts. But there's a handful of ongoing things necessary for a website to perform optimally:
Quality Hosting.
Search engines are penalizing slow sites, meaning your SEO will suffer if your site is slow. Because slow sites waste peoples' time, nobody likes a slow site. Search engines know this so faster sites will outrank slower sites on search engine results pages.
Anybody can get cheap hosting for just a few bucks monthly. These are on shared servers, meaning that many users are using the same server. Many times these type of cheap servers are oversold, making their performance dreadfully slow and hurting all the sites on that server's SEO ranking. Getting quality hosting is the first step in having a well-optimized site that is snappy for everyone. Users like this and search engines do to (and they'll reward you for having a fast site by sending more traffic).
Performance Optimization.
So you purchased your quality hosting plan, but you're not quite out of the woods just yet. There's lots more to do to make sure your site performs well. Optimizing your site's images, fonts, the CSS and javascript code, scripts executing on your site that block the rest of the webpage from loading until they finish, and installing & adjusting the different types of caches all have an impact on how fast your site will be to visitors and search engines alike. Let's not forget to add a global cdn network so your site loads fast for everyone that uses it. It takes time to get the experience to know how to implement or improve these things.
Website Security.
You should protect the site from hackers, worms, malicious scripts, brute force attacks, etc. It helps to have minimum security policies in place and enforced. Installing and configuring a good firewall as well as enabling two-factor authentication goes a long way towards securing your site.
Backups.
These days, pretty much everyone knows how important it is to have a backup. But it's even more important to have a recent backup. Because that backup you made a year ago when you first made your site probably won't do you much good if your site crashes--or gets hacked--after a year's worth of meticulously-crafted blog updates. So, doing regular backups is key.
