WordPress helps with SEO
WordPress, a widely-used content management system (CMS), garners acclaim for its SEO-friendly attributes. WordPress stands out in the SEO landscape for several reasons. Firstly, it boasts user-friendly permalinks, enabling the creation of search engine-friendly URLs that are easily comprehensible to both users and search engines, aiding in the identification of page content. Additionally, numerous responsive design themes are available for WordPress, ensuring that websites display and function optimally on various devices, including smartphones and tablets. As mobile-friendliness significantly influences SEO rankings, this feature is invaluable.
WordPress offers a plethora of SEO plugins, with Yoast SEO and All in One SEO Pack being highly regarded options. These plugins provide tools for on-page optimization, including meta titles, descriptions, headings, and XML sitemaps. They also furnish guidance and suggestions to enhance content SEO. Moreover, WordPress websites tend to load rapidly, a vital factor in SEO, as fast-loading pages enhance user experience and contribute to higher search engine rankings.
WordPress shines as a content management system, simplifying the creation and regular updating of content. Search engines favour fresh and relevant content, and WordPress streamlines the process of adding blog posts, articles, and multimedia elements. Some WordPress themes are designed with SEO principles in mind, featuring clean code, optimized structures, and swift load times, which positively influence SEO performance.
WordPress permits the implementation of structured data and schema markup, either through plugins or built-in features. This can result in rich snippets in search results, augmenting the visibility of content. Furthermore, WordPress facilitates customisation of permalinks for individual pages or posts, enabling the inclusion of keywords in URLs to enhance search engine rankings. Regular updates are a hallmark of WordPress, with new versions frequently released to bolster security, performance, and SEO.
In addition to these technical aspects, WordPress benefits from a robust community of users, developers, and SEO experts. This vibrant ecosystem offers a wealth of resources, forums, and tutorials to aid in the optimisation of WordPress websites for SEO. While WordPress provides a solid SEO foundation, it’s imperative to bear in mind that achieving high search engine rankings also hinges on the quality of content, backlinks, and other variables. SEO represents an ongoing endeavour, and the integration of WordPress with sound SEO practices can markedly enhance a website’s visibility in search engine results.

WordPress Plugins
Using WordPress plugins offers several advantages for website owners and developers. Firstly, plugins provide enhanced functionality, enabling the incorporation of new features and capabilities into your website without the necessity for bespoke coding. Whether you require a contact form, e-commerce tools, SEO assistance, or social media integration, there’s typically a plugin that can fulfil your needs.
Secondly, plugins save both time and money by eliminating the need to construct features from the ground up. Many plugins are available for free or offer a free version, reducing development costs and expediting the website-building process. Additionally, plugins are highly customisable, allowing you to tailor their settings to align with your specific requirements and design preferences. This flexibility permits the creation of a unique website that resonates with your brand.
Furthermore, reputable plugin developers regularly release updates to ensure compatibility with the latest WordPress versions and to patch security vulnerabilities, keeping your website secure and up-to-date. The WordPress community is extensive, and assistance is readily accessible through forums, documentation, or support from the plugin’s developer if issues arise.
Additionally, plugins facilitate scalability, enabling the addition of new features as your business or content demands grow, obviating the necessity for a complete website overhaul. They also contribute to search engine optimisation (SEO) efforts, offering tools and features that enhance content optimisation, meta tag management, and other elements to improve your site’s visibility in search results.
Lastly, plugins can integrate with analytics tools, delivering valuable insights into your website’s performance and user behaviour. This data empowers you to make informed decisions to enhance your site’s user experience and content strategy. Nevertheless, judicious selection and moderation when employing plugins are paramount. Overloading your website with excessive plugins can lead to performance complications, conflicts, and security vulnerabilities. It is imperative to choose reputable plugins from trusted developers and routinely update them to ensure the ongoing security and functionality of your site.

Why do I need to keep WordPress Plugins up to date?
WordPress Plugins are similar to apps on your phone. They create the ability to easily add different functionalities to your website. Just like with apps on your phone, they regularly get updates to fix any bugs, add new features and update the security. Plugins are an open-source software, and are created by third party developers. Most of these developers continuously update the plugins to fix bugs and add in new features to help streamline the user experience.
Making sure that any plugins installed on your wordpress site are kept up to date is vital in keeping your website secure. Any weaknesses in the code of your plugins can make your site susceptible to hackers or malware. This not only makes your website vulnerable, but also the information of any visitors to your website who may interact with any of the plugin features. By keeping them up to date, you are increasing the security of your website and protecting the data of your visitors.
Old versions of plugins can have an effect on how your website functions. If a plugin that you have installed gets a new update but you do not update it on your website, then over time it will start to slow down your website. A slower website with features that do not work as they should will create a bad user experience for your visitors and cause them to bounce off your website.
Features of plugins may be added, changed, or removed altogether when a new update is available. If you do not update it on your website, then you and your clients will not get to benefit from the changes.
Keeping on top of updating the plugins installed on your WordPress website can be a laborious task. By hiring an agency to look after and maintain your website, updating plugins will be a part of that package. Contact us today to find out how we can help manage and maintain your website.
Why do I need to keep WordPress Core Files up to date?
The Core Files of your WordPress website are the files that every WordPress site has and builds the structure of your website. If they are not kept up to date, then your website security and performance will be impacted.
WordPress regularly updates their core files to fix security issues and bugs. If you do not update your core files to the latest versions, then your website could become vulnerable to malware or hacking. Outdated code is a weak spot and allows people to take advantage of your website. Updating your core files will ensure that your website is equipped with the latest security features from WordPress, keeping both your information secure, as well as the data of visitors to your website.
If you do not keep your website updated you will also miss out on important updates that can add new functionality and features to your website. As new updates are released, they overwrite the existing code. If you leave your website for a long period of time without performing updates, then your website may stop working and functioning as it used to. Being open source, the WordPress developers are consistently looking for ways to improve and streamline the code used to create websites.
The programming and scripting language PHP is used to create interactive and dynamic websites. There are also regular releases of new versions of this coding language. If this is not updated, your website’s functionality, usability and speed can be impacted. If your website is not functioning as it should be, then visitors are more likely to bounce off of your site.
By hiring an agency to maintain and update your website, you can rest assured that your website will always be running smoothly and at its optimum. It is their job to monitor and spot new updates and implement them as soon as possible. Get in touch with us today and speak to a member of our team to find out how we can help maintain your website.
Is WordPress secure?
Yes, WordPress is generally a secure content management system, as long as you follow the best practices. By keeping your website’s core files and plugins up to date, you can increase the security of your website. As an open source software, WordPress is managed and maintained by a team of cyber security professionals. They regularly release updates that fix security issues and vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by hackers. By updating your core files as soon as the updates are released, you are tightening the security around your website.
The same can be said for any plugins that you have installed on your WordPress website. Plugins are developed by third party developers and add different functionality and features to your website. Just like the team at WordPress, plugin developers are constantly releasing new updates to improve security and add new features.
Another way to ensure that your WordPress website is secure is to use strong logins and passwords. Using a password manager or enabling two-factor authentication will help to ensure that only people who should have access to your website can gain access.
Taking regular backups of your website is also considered best practice. While it does not enhance the security of your account, it will allow you to restore your website if anything were to happen to it.
If your WordPress website was to be hacked, you may not be able to tell. By hiring a specialised agency to look after and maintain your website, they will be able to monitor your website and install new updates as and when they are released to ensure that your WordPress website is as secure as possible. Get in touch with us today to see how Priority Pixels can help to keep your WordPress website secure and running at its optimum.

How to secure your WordPress website from hackers?
There are many ways that you can secure your website from hackers. One of the main ways is to keep your core WordPress files and plugins updated. New updates are regularly released for both plugins and the WordPress core files that fix security issues and bugs. If you do not keep your files and plugins properly updated then you risk exposing weaknesses to potential hackers.
Making sure that you have a strong password and login credentials will also help to secure your website from hackers. A strong password should be a random mix of numbers, letters, both upper and lower case, and symbols. It should not contain any personal or private information about you or your company that could be easy to guess. Ideally, your password should be unique to your website and not being used elsewhere. With a WordPress website you will need to create login details for the admin area as well as any databases that you have.
Installing an SSL certificate is considered to be best practice for all websites. They are designed to be installed onto your web server and ensure secure connections for visitors to your website. Not only do SSL certificates increase the security of your site, but they can help to increase your SEO ranking.
Along with securing your actual website, you will want to ensure that your hosting environment is secure as well. Your hosting provider should be able to monitor the server that your website is hosted on and make adjustments depending on your needs. No matter the type of hosting that you opt for, they should all have the same security standards to protect your website from outside attacks.
Securing your website is vital to protecting the information of both your business and your visitors. By taking up a security and maintenance package with a web agency, you can rest assured that your website will be as secure as possible.
