PHP Security Updates: What Website Owners Need to Know
If you’ve been concerned about PHP security vulnerabilities, I wanted to give you a quick update and reassure you that we’re on it.
Watch my short video for a quick update.
PHP is part of the software that powers your WordPress website. Like WordPress itself, your themes and your plugins, it needs regular updates to address security issues and keep things working properly.
If your website is hosted with me, we’ve updated PHP as part of the work to keep your website up to date and reduce security risks.
Why ongoing website maintenance matters
Your website needs attention even when everything looks fine on the surface. Software updates and security issues can arise behind the scenes, while everyday features, such as contact forms, can stop working without you noticing.
This is exactly the sort of thing I set my website maintenance service up for: so you have someone looking after the technical side, checking things over and responding when issues arise.
No one can guarantee that a website will never be hacked. Regular maintenance helps reduce the risks and means you have someone to turn to when something needs attention.
What my maintenance service includes
My website maintenance service includes:
- Keeping WordPress, themes and plugins up to date.
- Checking that your contact forms are working.
- Checking key areas of your website for problems.
- Reviewing PHP updates and compatibility with your hosting setup.
It takes the ongoing technical jobs off your list, so you can spend more time running your business.
