Some maintenance tasks should be handled more frequently than others:

  • Daily: Monitor site uptime, check for alerts or errors.
  • Weekly: Apply updates, scan for malware, remove spam comments, and test essential site functions.
  • Monthly: Back up the site, optimize the database, check page loading speeds, fix broken links, and review site analytics.
  • Quarterly/Yearly: Carry out full audits, update important settings, review user accounts, and renew licenses or SSL certificates.
