Session Summary : 
Why WordPress Maintenance?
Managing a WordPress website is a full-time job as opposed to the popular opinion that you simply need to set it and sit. Things break at unexpected times, and it’s your responsibility to make repairs. You need to create backups, update your website and simply keep the business going.

If your WordPress website is your livelihood, you cannot afford to let things go unattended for long periods. This is where a WordPress maintenance checklist comes in. You definitely don’t want to lose your site to hackers, or lose out on business because your design scares away prospects.

checklist provides you with instructions for maintenance tasks on a high level – so you know that your site is set up properly.

If your site breaks (e.g. because of a faulty plugin update that causes an error in combination with your theme) you might still need a developer at hand. But you’ll also be in the position to simply bring back a backup of your website to get it back up and running in no time.

While this WordPress maintenance checklist gives you a glimpse into all of the areas that go into keeping a WordPress site running smoothly, it cannot hide the fact that WordPress maintenance is tricky. However, it will act as a beacon guiding you in the right direction. And if you’re on Liquid Web’s Managed WordPress Hosting plan, you’ll find maintaining your site even easier.

In a nutshell, WordPress maintenance checklist will take away the pain from keeping your website running stable and secure. It’ll give you a framework to structure maintenance into simple recurring tasks which you can partially automate. You can literally save days throughout the new year by using checklist.

So basically I will share my knowledge about what is checklist and how it helps in WordPress.
