Most WordPress problems come from neglect: outdated plugins, no backups, and slow hosting. This monthly checklist helps UK small businesses keep their site secure, fast and reliable.
Monthly checklist
- Backups: confirm you have recent backups (files + database) and test a restore process.
- Updates: update WordPress core, theme and plugins (one at a time if possible).
- Security: review admin users, remove unused plugins/themes, enforce strong passwords.
- Spam: review contact form spam filters and comment settings.
- Speed: check PageSpeed and fix large images or heavy plugins.
- SEO: scan Search Console for indexing errors and broken pages.
Quarterly checks
- Review key pages and refresh content (services, pricing, portfolio).
- Check forms and phone links still work.
- Check GBP link and tracking events still fire.
