The digital world is rife with cyber threats, from malware attacks to data breaches. An outdated or unmaintained website can become a prime target for hackers, putting your business and customers at risk. Regular maintenance includes updating security protocols, applying software patches, and implementing the latest cybersecurity measures to protect your site from vulnerabilities.

An outdated website kills conversions. Here’s how to spot—and fix—critical issues.
