Like any business tool, it requires regular maintenance to stay secure, fast, and functional. This checklist covers everything Pakistani business owners need to do monthly.<\/p>\n<h2>Weekly Tasks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check for plugin and theme updates<\/strong> \u2014 Outdated plugins are the number one cause of WordPress hacks. Update them weekly, but always on a staging site first if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check Google Search Console<\/strong> \u2014 Look for crawl errors, manual penalties, or indexing issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verify your contact forms are working<\/strong> \u2014 Send a test submission and confirm you receive the email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Monthly Tasks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Run a full website backup<\/strong> \u2014 Even if you have automated backups, manually verify that at least one recent backup exists and is downloadable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run Wordfence security scan<\/strong> \u2014 Check for malware, suspicious file changes, and blocked login attempts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check website speed<\/strong> \u2014 Run your site through PageSpeed Insights. If scores drop below 70, investigate the cause.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review Google Analytics<\/strong> \u2014 Check for unusual traffic drops or spikes that might indicate a problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update WordPress core<\/strong> \u2014 Major WordPress releases (e.g., 6.5 to 6.6) should be tested before applying to a live site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Quarterly Tasks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review all user accounts<\/strong> \u2014 Remove any users who no longer need access. Change passwords for admin accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check all external links<\/strong> \u2014 Use a broken link checker to find and fix 404 links.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review your hosting renewal date<\/strong> \u2014 Expired hosting is the most preventable cause of website downtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Annual Tasks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Renew your domain<\/strong> \u2014 Set it to auto-renew. Losing your domain is catastrophic and sometimes irreversible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review your SSL certificate<\/strong> \u2014 Most SSL certificates renew automatically, but verify this is happening.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full design and content audit<\/strong> \u2014 Is the information on your site still accurate? Are your prices, team, and services up to date?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SuperSITE offers monthly WordPress maintenance retainers for Pakistani businesses starting from Rs. 8,000\/month.
