A website is not a building you finish once — it is a vehicle that needs service. Skip maintenance and it usually fails at the worst moment.
What you should know
Is maintenance really necessary if the site works?
Yes. Underlying software changes and new vulnerabilities appear even if you touch nothing. Maintenance keeps those doors closed.
Can a small site still get hacked?
Yes. Most attacks are automated scans for known holes — size does not matter, exposure does.
Why are backups so important?
After an attack, bad update, or human error, a fresh backup is often the only way back. Backups are insurance.
Does a neglected site hurt SEO?
Yes. Compromised or unsafe sites can be flagged and demoted; broken pages and slowness also drag rankings down.
How often should maintenance run?
Security updates as they ship; backups and health checks on a regular schedule — often monthly or more, based on traffic and stack.
