Websites are complicated jigsaw puzzles that have many different pieces that need to be kept together to see the full picture i.e. to keep your website working and live. Through use and updates and changes and overall wear and tear, some of these pieces can loosen and become undone. This can result in your website slowing down overall, becoming unresponsive and on occasion going offline completely. Below are some examples of where a professional website support, design and development agency can help you.

Website Backups

Like saving a document that you are working on or an image that you are editing; your overall website needs to be backed-up and saved to retain all of the changes and revisions that you make. If your server experiences issues or your website is unfortunately hacked, you may need to restore your website from a previous backup. The action of backing up your website can take some time (during which you cannot use the backend of your website) and restoring it from a backup also carries with it these limitations. Consult with a professional to ensure that your website is backed-up correctly so that it is a viable restoration option if needs be.

Website Compression

With the prevalence of mobile phone usage and 4G availability, having a compressed and speedy website is the norm for today. Compression is an exhaustive process which reviews every component of your entire website to assess where space saving and file reducing methods can be implemented. This assessment is then actioned and is a time-consuming task which again means that the backend of your website cannot be accessed. This is again an instance where the skills of a professional website developer are required to ensure the process goes smoothly and hitch-free.

Website Updates

The various components of your website such as software and plugins require upgrades and maintenance to remain in peak working order. Some of these are larger than others and as such their effects can have far reaching outcomes throughout your website. Updates that are not correctly carried out can have similar negative side effects and even run the risk of bringing your website down. Ensure that they are done correctly to a) reap the benefits of their newest versions and b) keep your entire website efficiently up-to-date.
