Yes they are.
With the evolving nature of the internet, the growing array of browsers, devices and screen resolutions, websites need regular maintenance for a number of reasons:
- To maintain security and protect data
- The user experience is a positive one- people don’t buy from broken websites
- An optimised website stands more chance of ranking in search engines for keywords that SEO has optimised them for
- A stable website that looks good earns visitors’ trust
- Protracted lack of maintenance often leads to a major crash- and these are never convenient
.
So if your website hasn’t had a professional inspection and tune up- including a test of load speed as well as Core Web Vitals, maybe the time for that is now.
