Does your business have an old WordPress website? I’m talking a pre-Covid website that was built in 2019 or before. You might be overdue for an upgrade!
I’m sure your website was built after the Gateway computer craze. It can’t be that old.
However, a WordPress website that’s more than six or seven years old can be a ticking timebomb.
Those original plugins, themes, and server software are no longer compatible, and are no longer safe for your website users.
Is it Time For a New WordPress Website?
If your website is more than seven years old, the answer is yes!
I’m here to tell you it’s time for a refresh.
And, seven years is actually past the recommended lifespan for a WordPress website.
Your business needs a full rebuild, not a simple refresh. It’s a wise investment for long-term marketing.
Reasons Your Need a New WordPress Website
Security comes first.
- Your WordPress website may look fine on the outside, but outdated technology can leave your business vulnerable.
An investment in reliability.
- Modern technology makes your website easier to maintain, update, and protect.
Opportunity to improve everything.
- Better mobile experiences, fresher content, improved accessibility, and a stronger foundation for SEO and AI search.
The Biggest Danger? Old Plugins!
Themes and plugins from seven years ago are often abandoned, unsupported, or bloated with legacy code.
The scary thing with that is, hackers can find a way into your old website through your old plugins and themes.
Plugins that are outdated or abandoned are the main culprit of a site getting compromised by hackers.
I’m at the point where my clients have to upgrade old sites or I’m asking them to move an old website to a new host.
