We recommend updating your WordPress site at least once a month, or more frequently if new updates become available. This includes updating the WordPress core, plugins, and themes. Keeping everything updated reduces the risk of security breaches, improves your site’s functionality, and ensures compatibility with the latest web technologies.
If you neglect to update your website, your site becomes prone to security risks, slow performance, and compatibility issues. Outdated plugins and themes can become entry points for hackers, while your site may stop working correctly as WordPress and browser technologies evolve. This can lead to a poor user experience and lost revenue.
