break something when you're updating the website without backups, this can be really painful. Now, I know a lot of people say they've got backups, but have you tested them? Can you use them? Can you get the website back up and running in a matter of minutes?

If you're a business owner and you got a WordPress website, here's five things you should be checking every single month so it doesn't quietly cost you customers. Now stick around till the end or save this post for later, because No.

5 is gonna be really important. Okay, so No.

1 are your updates outdated plugins are the number one cause for WordPress hacks, and 90% of vulnerabilities in the WordPress ecosystem come from plugins, not WordPress itself. So if you log in and you see that there's a red circle for updates, you wanna make sure that you're running those.

Now don't run them blindly. Make sure you've got a staging environment or you've got backups just in case something goes wrong.

And No. 2 is broken links.

Now these are links that go nowhere. Now they annoy visitors and Google notices.

So run your site through a broken link checker because this can run down your SEO. Most of the time people never check this and they've got no idea what broken links are on their website, so this is a great way to get to the bottom of it.

Now No. 3 is your page speed...

f site, off server backups that are safe and that they work. If you get hacked or you break something when you're updating the website without backups, this can be really painful.

Now, I know a lot of people say they've got backups, but have you tested them? Can you use them?

Can you get the website back up and running in a matter of minutes? I suggest that you just check that.

Make sure that you've got the files ready. And No.

5 is Google Search Console. this is the most powerful tool that you get for free to help you rank.

You set it up once and you let it collect data. Once it's got enough data, you can see exactly how people find you and how they don't find you.

It shows you clear content gap and all the stuff that you should be ranking for that you're not. So make sure you go and check all of these.

If you're behind on a couple, that's perfectly normal, but it's exactly the stuff that will cost you down the line. And the Google Search Console one, that's where most small businesses Are leaving money on the table.

So be honest with me. Let me know...
