Is your website’s code and database a well-oiled machine?

Keep your site in peak condition with Redcentaur’s maintenance service

Websites are a bit like cars: they need regular maintenance to keep running smoothly. You wouldn’t drive a car for years without an MOT or service, would you? Well, the same goes for your website. Ignoring its underlying code and database can lead to sluggish performance, unexpected errors, and potential security vulnerabilities. That’s where Redcentaur’s Database and Code Maintenance service comes in. Think of us as your website’s pit crew, ensuring it stays in pole position.

Why is website maintenance so important?

Your website’s code and database are the engines that power everything your visitors see and do. Just like any engine, they require regular attention to function optimally. Here’s why:

Performance

Over time, databases can become cluttered with unnecessary data, slowing down your website’s response time. This can frustrate visitors and even hurt your search engine rankings. Our service optimises the database’s performance, keeping it lean and mean with lightning-fast loading speeds.

Stability

Website code can be complex, and even minor glitches can cause major headaches. Small updates to the underlying programming languages can lead to minor glitches in your code base. These need to be changed and updated to keep your website working. Regular maintenance helps identify and fix these issues before they lead to embarrassing errors or downtime.

Security

Outdated code can be a welcome mat for hackers. Keeping your website’s code up-to-date helps protect it from security threats and vulnerabilities. Security issues are often found after a programming language goes live. It is then patched afterwards with a security update. If you don’t install the update for your code, your website remains vulnerable to attack.

Compatibility

The web is constantly evolving. Browsers, operating systems, and other technologies are regularly updated. Maintenance ensures your website remains compatible with these changes, preventing it from breaking or malfunctioning.

What does Redcentaur’s service include?

Our Database and Code Maintenance service is designed to keep the back-end of your website in top shape. We offer:

• Database optimisation: We’ll fine-tune your database for peak performance, removing overheads, ensuring proper caching, and eliminating errors.

• Code check-ups: Our experts will thoroughly examine your website’s code, identifying and resolving potential issues that could affect its functionality or stability. We’ll make those little tweaks that keep everything running smoothly.

• Log checking: We’ll regularly check the logs on your server to find errors in obscure parts of the code that can only be found by your visitors. Any errors found in your logs will be investigated and resolved.

• Update adjustments: When platforms like PHP receive minor updates, it can sometimes cause conflicts with your website’s code. We’ll make the necessary adjustments to keep everything playing nicely together. (However, it’s worth noting that major software updates might need a more in-depth code review).

What are the dangers of neglecting maintenance?

We’re not here to scare you, but ignoring website maintenance can have some serious consequences:

• Slow website speeds: A sluggish website can drive visitors away, impacting your business and your search engine rankings.

• Website errors and downtime: Nobody wants to see an error message when they visit a website. Downtime can damage your reputation and cost you money.

• Security breaches: Outdated code is more vulnerable to hacking, which can lead to data loss, financial losses, and damage to your brand.

• Compatibility issues: Your website might not work properly on all browsers or devices, alienating potential customers.

Don’t let your website fall into disrepair

Think of Redcentaur’s Database and Code Maintenance service as a preventative measure. It’s much easier (and cheaper) to keep your website healthy than it is to fix it after something goes wrong.
