Website Maintenance: What to Do Every Month After Launch

A website is not a one-off job; it is an asset that needs care. A fifteen-minute monthly check catches most problems before they grow.

Monthly checklist

• Framework, dependency and server security updates
• Verify backups are taken and can be restored
• SSL certificate and domain expiry
• Broken link and 404 scan
• Core Web Vitals and page speed
• Test that forms work
• Search Console errors and warnings
• Unusual drops or bot traffic in Analytics

Quarterly

Content freshness, broken third-party integrations, removal of unused plugins and scripts. A maintenance contract keeps these tasks from being forgotten.
