Remember that updating your site can be a delicate process. Whenever you're working on updates or adding content make sure that you are aware of the following:

Test Your Updates

While you update your site and have "saved" some of your edits, remember to test the site using a private or incognito window.

Clear Your Cache

If you have made a series of updates and saved your work but it's not showing when you test your site, make sure you clear (sometimes referred to as "Flush") the Cache on your site. You can find the tutorial here.

Optimize Images for Web

If any of the updates you are working on require uploading images into your site, remember to always optimize those files for web. It will keep your site healthy! You can find the tutorial for this here.

Create A Backup

As with everything in technology, at times, things don't go as expected. You might stumble across a critical error or accidentally delete part of your work. This is why I always recommend creating a backup of your site before starting a series of updates.

If you're part of any of my Care Plans, my team and I create daily backups of your site. If you encounter any issues and need to use a backup, just contact us here and we will restore your site from its latest backup.
