Plugins that need constant updates
Most WordPress sites lean on a stack of plugins from different developers. Plugins and themes are where most WordPress security holes turn up, so every one has to be kept up to date.
WordPress vs. Cheyenne Web
Why Wyoming businesses are moving off WordPress
WordPress made it easy to start a website. Keeping one running safely is another story: updates, plugins, backups, security scans, and the occasional clean-up after a hack.
The hidden chores
What a WordPress site quietly asks of you
A login page bots never stop trying
Automated bots try passwords on WordPress login pages around the clock. One weak or reused password is all it takes.
A database and server to protect
Your pages, users and settings live in a database on a server that has to be patched, backed up and watched.
Costly clean-ups after a hack
A hacked site can send spam, send your customers somewhere else, or get flagged by Google. Cleaning it up takes time and money.
Side by side
The difference, in plain terms
Running WordPress
- Core, theme and plugin updates every few weeks
- Security plugins, scans and firewall rules
- Backups you hope you'll never need
- Slow pages when the server is busy
- A login page that bots hammer day and night
- Clean-up bills when something gets through
