to your Website

over again. So, instead of a stale content,
keep researching and adding fresh ones
to your site and update the old ones to
keep them alive as well.

broken links

make sure you check them for
discrepancies. Broken links not only
harms your SEO ranking but users don’t
like it as well

Checking your website across multiple
browsers is always a good exercise. This
helps find design flaws in your site and
helps enhance user’s experience

factor in site maintenance. Your

out elements slowing your site and fix
those.

Amidst hackers and server issues,
you can easily loose your content.
So, make sure your data backup
doesn’t get lost.

A website content can be filled with typo errors and more.
However, its correction is possible. So, last but not the least
you must proofread everything before it goes online.
