The importance of Website Security and Performance
When talking about WordPress security, many folks respond with, “We’re not selling anything on our website, so security isn’t important .” Or they say, “We don’t have anything on our website that people would want to steal.” However, keeping your WordPress website secure is about keeping your site protected against hackers. And this keeps visitors to your website safe from malware or viruses that can infect unsecured sites can be infected with. See more about keeping your WordPress website protected here.
Optimum website performance is also an important factor in ranking well in search results. Google looks for evidence that effort is being made to keep the website up to date and running smoothly. Having a website maintenance plan in place helps ensure that your site is well cared for while you focus on running your business. See more benefits of WordPress website maintenance here.
Have you ever thought about what your content would cost you to replace?
Time is money. Whether your business is small, large, or somewhere in between, your content is worth the time you’ve invested in it. Writing posts, creating pages, and making slight tweaks to make sure everything is perfect.
Let’s say the minimum amount of time it takes to write a (good) blog post or a page is 30 minutes. Although we all probably spend a lot more time on content than that. So what’s your time really worth? When you do the numbers, you realize what you’ve invested in your site and what it would take to replace it if you lost it all.
TIP: To figure out your hourly rate, divide your annual salary by 2080 hours, assuming you work a standard 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.
As an example: If your site has 40 posts and 40 pages, and your time is worth $50 per hour, having worked on each post or page for at least 30 minutes, the cost to replace that content is $2000, or more.
Yikes.
