Web Development: Why Do I Need to Maintain my Website Plugins?

August 10, 2020

Did you know Plugins are used to add additional functionality to a basic WordPress website?

For example, forms on a website are made possible by adding that functionality through a Plugin.

Plugin updates are necessary to ensure your website remains as secure and optimised as possible.

These are released periodically by the individual plugin developers and usually include additional functionality, bug fixes and performance tweaks.

Chilli recommends checking plugin updates every 2 weeks to ensure the updates are small and incremental, this dramatically reduces the risk of website crashes and plugin incompatibility due to large version jumps between updates.

Chilli offer monthly website maintenance packages where we take care of all the regular plugin updates.
