Keeping your WordPress website up-to-date is important for many reasons, the main reasons being security, speed and compatibility. Did you know that one of the leading causes of WordPress website hacks is outdated plugins, themes, or of course, WordPress itself?

WordPress regularly releases updates to it's core files, and many users either don't see the update available message, or choose not to update it, often through fear of breaking their website.

Our automated updates ensure that not only will you avoid a large amount of vulnerabilities, you'll also ensure all of your plugins and themes are compatible with the version of WordPress that you're running.

Every night, our automated update system scans the WordPress plugin repository to check for new updates, and then installs them for you. This ensures that any possible compatibility issues or security flaws are generally patched before they are even known to the public.

As well as plugin updates, our nightly automatic updates also ensure your theme is kept up-to-date, this means it'll be compatible with the latest version of WordPress, as well as the latest plugins, and just as importantly, the latest server software, such as PHP and MySQL. Premium themes may need you to enter your license key before they can be updated automatically.

As WordPress evolves, small parts of the code is changed in order to improve reliability, security, and of course, to stay compatible with the latest web server software. As this happens, it can mean that some versions of plugins and themes are no longer as fast as they could be. Updating the WordPress core as soon as possible means that your website is always super-speedy, as well as secure.
