Website Maintenance Checklist
Website maintenance checklist for small businesses
A website maintenance checklist helps make sure the important tasks are not forgotten. Regular checks can reduce downtime, improve security and make recovery easier if something goes wrong.
Monthly checks
- Check WordPress core updates
- Check plugin and theme updates
- Confirm backups are running
- Test the contact form
- Review website speed
- Check important pages on mobile
Security checks
- Review administrator accounts
- Remove unused plugins and themes
- Check SSL is working
- Look for suspicious redirects or pop-ups
- Disable WordPress file editing where possible
Backup checks
Backups should be recent, complete and stored somewhere safe. A backup is only useful if it can actually be restored when needed.
