Websites are complex ecosystems. At their core lives a Content Management System such as WordPress. Themes and other plugins such as firewalls, caching or ecommerce components are then layered over the top.

WordPress and other CMSes, as well as the PHP code they depend on, receive regular feature and security updates and to keep up, themes and other components need to be updated to ensure they remain compatible.

To become familiar with each component and how it interacts with others takes time, so to save you headaches and ensure your site stays online, indexed and secure, EA Digital offers a monthly health check and component update service.

Our packages include monthly site health checks, visual inspections and updates (paid annually). Purchase an EA Digital site package, and we'll give you a 50% discount off your maintenance costs in your first year.

EA Digital is a hosting reseller, and our host is Sydney based and secure. Sites are hosted on SSD drives, have guaranteed uptime of 99.9% and have fast upload and download times.

If your site is accessed by a global audience, you may want to consider using a Content Delivery Network such as Cloudflare. Advantages include:

• Minimised load times
• Ability to handle large numbers of visitors
• Protection from DDOS attacks
• Near constant uptime

We can help you set this up and advise you of the benefits of using this service.
