Your website represents your Business or more important – YOU.
Everyone likes a Pretty lady or Handsome dude. I am not an exception to this! Maintenance is like the regular make-up and Repairs are like adding some muscles or removing double chins.
Attractions creates relationship. Relationships brings business. I am sure nothing is more simpler than this!
So you will know, when to add those muscles or make up when you look into the mirrors. Same for Websites, the mirrors are the Warning Signs. Let’s look at 10 signs!
Technically why Website Maintenance is Important?
An attractive website means a strong online presence, better security, and improved performance. In short, it’s the nectar that draws the bees of business.
Maintenance makes these happen:
Security – Protection from hackers and malware.
Speed & Performance – Fast-loading pages for a better user experience.
SEO Benefits – Regular updates help improve search rankings.
Business Credibility – A smooth, professional site builds trust.
So, what are the worrying Warning Signs that you might have missed?
Slow Loading Speed
If it takes more than 3 seconds to load, impatient youngsters today may leave without remorse. Very simple reasons may exist for these. Outdated plugins, crazily large images, or even poor hosting perimeters. It’s easy to identify and know these. But do you have the time? Regular website maintenance simply makes your life easier. We will identify and fix all issues.
Broken Links and 404 Errors
Extremely irritating signs. I hate them, too. Warning signs like these lack serious imagination. Like an overrated penal code infraction warnings! In simple words, they refer to broken links deliberated to frustrate users and negatively impact your SEO. If you notice these error pages appearing frequently, it’s a clear sign your site needs some attention and some fixes. That’s all.
Outdated Contents
In this fast moving Global market, I really know that when you know something and post it, it’s already outdated. No wonder, nothing can truly be up-to-date!
Old blog posts, outdated images, or even expired offers and promotions. Updating contents constantly is part of our maintenance. It ensures visitors trust that you know and offer the best to them!
Security Warnings
In this world, nothing is really secure. Yet, when visitors see a “Not Secure” message in their browser, it rings alarm bells that previously never bothered them! Google will equally panic and reduce the SEO traffic.
Again simple reasons like expired SSL certificate or even wrongly configured SSL could be the reason. However, security or rather insecurity is one of the most crucial reasons for us to exists for maintenance. Security is a major part of our Maintenance.
Poor Mobile Experience
Sometimes I wonder that everyone is born with a mobile device. It’s an extension of our anatomy.
Over 80% of users browse on mobile devices. If your website doesn’t adapt well to smartphones or tablets, it won’t be user friendly. It will be opportune time for a mobile optimization check.
Declining Search Rankings
OMG! I am no longer on the first page! Does it really matter? I don’t why but no one really likes to browse what’s on the next 100 pages where the true good deals might be! They like to deal with businesses on First page.
Following this mad sensibility, a sudden drop in Search Rankings may relate to technical issues like poor speed, broken links, or outdated SEO. Routine maintenance helps restore and improve visibility and bring you back on the First Page! Voila!
Frequent Downtime
Disappearing websites. Ghosting effects! Imagine an Important Client calls you and tells you that he cannot finds your website. It truly re-creates the feeling of being caught with your pants down!
Websites that frequently go offline can damage trust and can cost businesses sales. Downtime usually points to outdated software or server issues—both preventable with regular care. We do daily morning and evening preventive checks to avoid this from happening.
Broken Forms or Checkout Issues
How often you check out your own goods or even fill up enquiry forms for your website? Probably you have never done it because it’s ridiculously senseless to do! But it’s the only way to find out if those functionalities really work! In our technical world, we called it QA testings.
If your contact forms or e-commerce checkout pages are not working, you are losing valuable leads and revenue, not to mention the sheer embarrassment of reminded by your Clients. Website maintenance ensures all functionality works smoothly and work the ways it should! We make sure of that.
Outdated Design
Everyone likes to go to the latest Shopping Malls. Even newer “spankier” hospitals can attract more patients. People tend to associate modernisation and up-dated designs, asethetic looks to higher quality leading to higher expectations.
A site that looks old-fashioned can harm your Brand Reputation. Maintenance includes small design changes that refreshes to keep your website looking modern and professional. We do this make-up for you.
No Backups in Place
If only this luxury of backups exists in our daily lives! If we are sick, a copy of us goes to work. It’s a dream! But, in the technological world this necessity is highly possible with Maintenance. We create backups for everything that is present and possible.
