Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. But when was the last time you checked to make sure it’s actually working the way it should? A website isn’t something you build once and forget about. Like any important business tool, it needs regular maintenance and attention.
Take a moment to answer these four quick questions.
How old is your website?
If your website is more than three to five years old, it may already be falling behind. Design trends, technology, security standards, and user expectations change quickly. An outdated website can make your business appear less credible and may even hurt your search engine rankings.
That doesn’t always mean you need a complete redesign, but it does mean it’s worth having an expert evaluate whether your site is still meeting today’s standards.
Do you know your page speed score?
Website speed is more important than ever. Visitors expect pages to load in just a few seconds, and Google considers page speed as one of many ranking factors.
A slow website can lead to:
- Higher bounce rates
- Lower search rankings
- Lost leads
- Frustrated customers
Many business owners don’t even realize their website is loading slowly until customers start leaving before the page finishes loading.
At Ask the Egghead, we specialize in optimizing WordPress websites for speed through better hosting, image optimization, caching, and ongoing performance improvements.
When was your last backup?
Imagine your website crashes tomorrow due to a failed update, server issue, or cyberattack.
Could you restore it?
If you’re not sure when your last backup occurred—or whether one exists—you could be risking years of valuable content, customer information, and business data.
Reliable automated backups are one of the most important parts of website maintenance, yet they’re often overlooked until it’s too late.
Our Managed WordPress Hosting includes automated backups and proactive monitoring, giving you peace of mind that your website can be restored quickly if something unexpected happens.

Have you tested your contact form this month?
This one surprises people.
Many businesses assume their contact form is working because it always has. But forms can stop sending emails after plugin updates, server changes, spam filtering issues, or email configuration problems.
If no one is testing it, you could be missing valuable inquiries without even knowing it.
It’s a good habit to submit a test message every month to make sure everything is working correctly.
How Did You Score?
If you answered “I don’t know” to even one of these questions, you’re not alone.
