WordPress has certainly changed the world of web design and today it powers over 34% of websites on the internet and steadily growing.
WordPress is an extremely popular tool, it definitely requires a steep learning curve but when used incorrectly can have a negative impact on websites online presence.
Having worked with WordPress for over 10 years and taking over projects from previous web developers, I’ve come across a number of issues & mistakes which are commonly made.
WordPress themes require updates much like the WordPress core files and plugins.
The updates add security patches, optimized code and additional functionality.
Unfortunately WordPress developers can often times become “plugin happy” and end up installing too many plugins which can result in slower site performance or potentially conflict with existing plugins.
