Back up

Don’t forget to back up your website.

Since your WordPress website will likely be composed of many pieces created by different people and organizations, it’s likely that someday you will run into an incompatibility issue.

Or you can mess up with your hosting service or an ill-intentioned person can hack into your website for different reasons – and, yes, even small websites can be hacked to be turned into a cryptocurrency mining server.

To prevent these scenarios, and many others, it’s good practice to keep a routine of backing up your website at least weekly. In the case of websites with heavy user traffic, daily backups are the norm.

In the case of something happening, you can simply restore your last backup and go back to your life as if nothing ever happened.
