Why You Need to Update Plugins and Themes (And Why You Don’t Have to Do It Yourself)

Updating your website’s plugins and themes might sound like a minor housekeeping task—but it’s actually one of the most important things you can do to keep your site secure, functional, and running smoothly.

The good news? You don’t have to do it yourself. That’s where we come in.

Why Updates Matter

Websites aren’t “set it and forget it.” Just like your phone or computer needs regular updates, so does your website.

1. Security Fixes

Outdated plugins and themes are one of the most common ways hackers gain access to websites. Developers frequently release updates that patch security vulnerabilities—if you skip those updates, your site becomes a bigger target.

2. Performance Improvements

Many updates also include performance boosts that can help your site run faster or more efficiently. That means better load times for your visitors and fewer issues behind the scenes.

3. Compatibility With WordPress

As WordPress itself is updated, plugins and themes need to stay compatible. If you’re not updating regularly, you risk breaking parts of your site—or even the entire thing—after a major WordPress update.

What Happens If You Don’t Update?

Short answer: things break.

Pages stop loading properly. Forms glitch. Features disappear. Sometimes, your site can even go offline entirely. And if you don’t have a recent backup? Recovery can be expensive, time-consuming, or even impossible.
