How do I update my WordPress website?

How do I update my WordPress website?

Running a WordPress website or WooCommerce store is a fantastic way to grow your business, but regular updates are crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly. But how do I update my WordPress website and do I need to? Neglecting updates can lead to security risks, performance issues, and even lost revenue. Here’s why you need to prioritise updates:

1. Security

WordPress is the most popular content management system globally, which makes it a target for hackers. Updates often include important security patches that protect your site from vulnerabilities. WooCommerce, being an eCommerce platform, holds sensitive customer data, so keeping it secure is critical. By regularly updating your site, you minimise the risk of breaches and malware attacks that could damage your reputation and cost you business.

2. Performance Improvements

Each update comes with optimisations that improve the speed and performance of your site. A faster website enhances user experience and can positively impact your SEO rankings. WooCommerce updates can also improve how efficiently your store processes orders, manages stock, and handles payments.

3. New Features and Compatibility

WordPress and WooCommerce updates often introduce new features and enhancements that improve usability, design, and functionality. Regularly updating ensures your website remains compatible with the latest themes and plugins, preventing conflicts that can cause parts of your site to break.

4. Bug Fixes

No software is perfect, and bugs can affect the functionality of your website. Updates fix these bugs and improve the overall stability of your site. By staying up to date, you ensure your website continues to operate smoothly for both you and your customers.

5. Use a Professional for Updates

While WordPress offers automatic updates, having a professional handle your website’s updates ensures nothing goes wrong during the process. Experts can spot potential issues, test updates in a controlled environment, and resolve any conflicts that may arise between themes, plugins, and core WordPress features. Using a professional service also saves you time, ensuring your site stays secure and functional without disrupting your business operations. For example, We Do Fruition offers comprehensive website maintenance plans, from basic security updates to advanced optimisation and SEO improvements.

6. SEO and User Experience

Google prioritises websites that are fast, secure, and user-friendly. Outdated websites can suffer from slow loading times, security vulnerabilities, and poor user experiences—all of which negatively impact your SEO rankings. Regular updates help maintain the integrity of your website and improve its chances of ranking well on search engines.

Conclusion

Regularly updating your WordPress website and WooCommerce store is vital for maintaining security, performance, and user experience. By working with a professional, like We Do Fruition, you ensure your website remains competitive, secure, and ready to scale with your business without the risks or hassle of doing it yourself.  Call Al on 07824 55 6666 or by email and let’s discuss how we can help you keep your site in tip top shape.

You can’t code a cuppa – why the personal touch is more important than ever!

At We Do Fruition, we like to think we’re at the cutting edge of technology. Whether we’re building beautiful bespoke websites, crafting creative brand strategies or sorting out stellar social media campaigns, we utilise an array of high-tech gadgets and gizmos to make sure we do the best job possible – but there’s got to be a personal touch behind the pixels.

In an age when everyone seems just as likely to tweet (sorry under X it is now officially a ‘post’ isn’t it!) as talk, there’s a danger that businesses can lose their personality. It’s the people that run a business that make them unique; it’s what their clients buy into. With so much choice and competition nowadays, building relationships has never been so important.

At We Do Fruition, we always try to bring the best of both worlds. We love making the most of the myriad of digital tools at our fingertips but just sitting down with business owners, having a cuppa, and just hearing the passion pour out of them is still one of the best – and most important – parts of the job.

As we say to all of our clients – technology is a tool that shouldn’t take away the personality of your business; it should augment it. Never underestimate the power of sitting down (yes, sometimes on a video call) and doing things face-to-face and with a steaming cup of your favourite brew in your hand.

But enough about us; how have you been? Fancy a cuppa and a chat?

Meet the Team.

Think of us as your outsourced digital marketing team – we are with you every step of your journey to connect with your customers. We are specialists, working across a whole range of disciplines, media and sectors, bringing our creativity and rich experience to get you and your business results. We are a one stop-shop, so we project manage everything from start to finish.
