Stellaractive manages this for sites we host. Out of date plugins not only run the risk of no longer working as expected, but often pose a security risk. The opensource nature of WordPress means that it is more susceptible to being compromised that some other platforms, and outdated plugins are an open door for that risk.

External links
External links
When adding links to your website that go to a third-party site, make sure that it opens in a new window or tab. In WordPress, there is typically a checkbox option to enable this. That way, when a visitor is done referencing the external site and close that window or tab, your site is still there, making it less likely that they will leave.
Clearing Browser cache
Clearing Browser cache
Your browser — whether on your computer or mobile device — stores a copy of websites you have visited in order to load them more quickly the next time you visit. This is called “cache” (said like ‘cash’). This means that when you or your developer make changes, you may need to clear your cache in order for the updates to display correctly.
Website form notifications
Website form notifications
Avoid accidentally marking legitimate website notifications as spam. Instead, check and update your spam filters or whitelist the website’s email address to ensure you receive important messages. Even when a spammer fills out your form do not mark the notification as spam.
