How to Read Your Monthly Website Maintenance Report

All Posts, Google Analytics, Guides, Maintenance & Management, Security, SEO, Websites, WordPress

Let’s face it: website reports can look intimidating. But behind all those charts, numbers, and icons is one simple goal—keeping your site safe, fast, and helping your business grow.

At Blimitless, we don’t just send you a report to tick a box. We send you a full health check of your website, and this guide will show you exactly what it all means (without the tech overwhelm).

Why Your Website Report Is So Important

Imagine running a store and never checking stock, your front door lock, or customer feedback. That’s what it’s like when you ignore your website maintenance.

Your monthly report helps you:

  • Track performance and user behavior

  • Know what we’ve updated or improved

  • Catch potential problems early

  • Feel confident your site is secure and backed up

Still unsure if it’s necessary? Read Why Website Maintenance Is Critical for Business Success.

Section Breakdown: What You’re Looking At

🔄 Core, Theme & Plugin Updates

Your website runs on WordPress, and that means regular updates to:

  • The WordPress core (the foundation of your site)

  • Your active theme (controls your site’s look and layout)

  • Plugins (add extra features like contact forms, SEO, or security)

Why it matters:
Unupdated software is the #1 way hackers get into websites. Plus, old plugins can break or slow your site.

📌 In Your Report:
You’ll see the number of updates completed during the month.
Example: 21 plugin updates, 1 theme update, 1 core update.

 

💾 Backups

Backups are your “undo” button. If your site gets hacked, crashes after an update, or breaks due to user error, a backup helps us restore it quickly.

What we track:

  • Number of backups created

  • Date and time of the most recent backup

  • Backup size (helps estimate site complexity)

📌 In Your Report:
90 backups this month. Last backup: August 7 @ 12:14 PM.

Tip: Even though we handle backups, it’s smart to have an off-server copy too (like in Dropbox or Google Drive).

🔐 Security Scans

Each month we scan your site for:

  • Malware

  • Vulnerable code

  • Hidden spam links

  • Known attack vectors

Why it matters:
Even if your site looks fine, it could be silently compromised. Regular scans help us catch issues early—before search engines or visitors notice.

📌 In Your Report:
3 scans completed in July. Status: All clear.

🚀 Performance Monitoring

Slow sites lose visitors. Period. That’s why we track key speed metrics:

  • PageSpeed Score (how optimized your site is)

  • YSlow Score (old-school but still useful)

  • Load Time (how long your site takes to appear)

Why it matters:
Every extra second of load time = more people who leave without engaging.

📌 In Your Report:
Speed improved from 7.78s to 0.76s this month.

🌐 Uptime Monitoring (if included)

If enabled on your package, uptime monitoring checks whether your site is live and how often it’s accessible.

Key terms:

  • Uptime: When your site is online and working

  • Downtime: When your site is unavailable to users

  • Response time: How fast the server replies

📌 In Your Report:
Site uptime: 99.9%. No downtime incidents this month.

Why it matters:
Downtime can cost credibility, leads, and Google ranking. We flag it so it can be fixed fast.

📊 User Analytics (via Site Kit or Analytics Tools)

This is your window into how users interact with your site. Even without full Google Analytics, we track:

  • Total users and sessions

  • Bounce rate (how many left without clicking)

  • Most visited pages

  • Top referrers (Google, Facebook, direct visits)

  • Devices used (mobile, desktop)

  • Locations (top countries and cities)

📌 In Your Report:
36,000 users in July. Bounce rate: 44.9%. Most views: Drinks Menu.

Want deeper insights? Read Understanding Google Analytics

📦 Active Plugins, Themes & System Info

We include a snapshot of:

  • Your active theme

  • Installed and active plugins

  • Site size and file usage

  • Server details

Why it matters:
This helps us (and you) know how your site is built, what tools are running, and whether anything seems excessive or outdated.

What To Do With This Report

Here are 5 practical ways to use it:

  1. See what we’ve done – This proves your site is getting attention.
  2. Spot red flags early – Bad score? Drop in users? Let’s fix it.
  3. Plan your marketing – Popular pages = clues to content your audience likes.
  4. Request improvements – Slow page? Outdated content? Now you know.
  5. Ask questions – We’re always here to help explain or act on your insights.

5 Real-Life Tips to Protect Your Website Right Now

Even if you’re not on a managed plan, here are things you should be doing:

  1. Update plugins and themes weekly – Outdated tools are the #1 way hackers get in.
  2. Back up your site – Use external storage like Dropbox or Google Drive.
  3. Check your forms – Make sure every lead gets through.
  4. Test your site speed – Use Google PageSpeed Insights to make improvements.
  5. Monitor for malware – Free tools like Sucuri can catch hidden problems.

Hosting Isn’t Enough:

Why Basic Hosting Leaves You at Risk

You’ve bought website hosting—so you’re sorted, right?

Not quite.

Most business owners think that once their site is “live,” the job is done. But here’s the truth: traditional hosting companies only give you a parking space online. They don’t keep your website safe, fast, or working properly. That’s your responsibility.

And if you’re not maintaining your site, that parking space becomes a risk.

Gif of a frustrated woman mad at her website not working

What Hosting Actually Covers (Spoiler: It’s Not Much)

Basic hosting includes three main things:

  • Keeping your website online (uptime)

  • Storing your files

  • Letting people access your site through the internet

That’s where it ends.

No one is updating your software. No one is checking for security issues. And if your site gets hacked or goes offline? You’re on your own.

What Happens When You Rely Only on Hosting

Here’s what can go wrong when hosting is all you have:

  • Plugins or themes get outdated and cause bugs or security holes

  • You forget to back up your site—and then lose everything

  • Slow speed pushes visitors away

  • Forms stop working, and you miss out on leads

  • Google drops your rankings because your site isn’t optimized

This is exactly what we warn about in The Silent Killer: What Happens When Your Website Isn’t Maintained. Problems creep in quietly until it’s too late.

The Difference Between Hosting and Management

Basic hosting is like renting a shop space with no locks, no lights, and no help when something breaks.

Managed website care is like hiring a team who:

  • Updates your website regularly

  • Fixes things fast when they break

  • Monitors performance and speed

  • Creates backups and restores them if needed

  • Protects your site with security scans and tools

That’s what we do at Blimitless. We’re not just hosting—we’re your digital partners.

Want to know why regular maintenance matters? Here’s a deeper dive: Why Website Maintenance Is Critical for Business Success

5 Real-Life Tips to Protect Your Website Right Now

Even if you’re not on a managed plan, here are things you should be doing:

  1. Update plugins and themes daily/weekly – Outdated tools are the #1 way hackers get in.
  2. Back up your site – Use external storage like Dropbox, Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive.
  3. Check your forms – Make sure every lead gets through.
  4. Test your site speed – Use Google PageSpeed Insights to make improvements.
  5. Monitor for malware – Free tools like Sucuri can catch hidden problems.

If this feels overwhelming, don’t worry. That’s exactly why Blimitless clients choose us. We manage all this—so they don’t have to.

Bonus: It’s Not Just Your Website

Your email is part of your business security too. If you’re still using Gmail or a free email, you’re missing a big opportunity for trust and professionalism. Read more about that here: Email Hosting: Why Your Business Needs a Professional Email Address

You’re not just paying for space—you’re paying for peace of mind.
With Blimitless, you don’t just get hosting. You get proactive care, constant support, and a website that’s ready to work as hard as you do.

At Blimitless, we don’t just give your website a place to live—we make sure it thrives.

From proactive updates and performance checks to real support when things go wrong, we handle the parts your basic hosting doesn’t. No more worrying about outdated plugins, missed backups, or silent failures that hurt your business.

The Silent Killer: What Happens When Your Website Isn’t Maintained

Imagine This:
You lock your shop at night… but leave the back door wide open.

That’s what it’s like when your website is live, but not maintained.

Most people assume their website just “works.” But without updates, backups, and checks, it slowly falls apart—and no one notices until it’s already causing damage..

Gif of a frustrated woman mad at her website not working

What Can Go Wrong Without Maintenance?

🔐 Security Risks

  • Hackers love outdated websites.

  • Old plugins or themes are easy to break into.

  • One bad file = your whole site could go down.

🐌 Slow Website

  • People leave if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load.

  • Slow = less trust = fewer leads = less income.

📉 SEO Drops

  • Google rewards fast, updated websites.

  • If your site is outdated, you’ll fall lower in search results.

  • Less visibility = fewer visitors.

⚠️ Site Issues That Cost You Trust

  • Contact forms stop sending messages

  • Pages display errors or don’t load properly

  • Important links lead to the wrong place—or nowhere at all

  • Visitors start to question how reliable your business is

Even small issues can create a poor first impression and lead to missed opportunities. That’s why regular checks matter.

 

Real Talk: Hosting Doesn’t Cover This

Most hosting companies give you a place to park your website. That’s it.

They don’t:

  • Update your plugins

  • Check for issues

  • Run backups

  • Fix anything that breaks

So if something goes wrong, you’re the one responsible for fixing it… or paying extra to get help.

Unless… you’ve got a team like Blimitless.

What Blimitless Does for You

We don’t just host your website… we look after it.

With Blimitless maintenance, your website is:

✅ Kept up to date
✅ Backed up regularly (and restored if needed)
✅ Checked for errors
✅ Tuned for performance and responsiveness

🔎 Performance optimization and content support are included in Premium & E‑commerce packages.

Your site won’t just stay online… it’ll stay ready to convert visitors into customers.

5 Practical Tips to Keep Your Website Healthy

  1. Update plugins and themes weekly.
    Old code is risky. Keep everything current to stay safe.

  2. Run backups at least monthly.
    More often if your content changes a lot. Store backups off-site.

  3. Test your forms.
    Make sure your contact or quote forms are working—missed messages = missed leads.

  4. Check your mobile layout.
    Over 60% of traffic is mobile. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re losing users.

  5. Use SEO tools to scan your site.
    Broken links, slow speeds, and outdated content all hurt your Google ranking.

 

A Maintained Website Is a Business Asset

Websites aren’t “launch and forget” tools. They’re living parts of your business… working 24/7 to build trust, capture leads, and support sales.

Neglect it, and you’re leaving your business exposed.

With Blimitless, your website isn’t just hosted… it’s supported, protected, and growing alongside you.

So, ask yourself:

🕵️‍♀️ When was the last time someone looked under the hood of your website?

If it’s been a while, we’re here to help.

Maintain your Website with Confidence at B_Limitless

At Blimitless, we don’t just keep your website online—we keep it healthy, secure, and ready to grow with your business.

Whether you’re struggling with slow load times, outdated content, or you simply don’t know when your site was last backed up, we’re here to help you take control before silent issues turn into costly problems.

Let’s stop the silent killers.

What’s Included in Your Website Care Plan

What’s Included in Your Website Care Plan

Guides, Hosting, Maintenance & Management, SEO, Websites, WordPress

You’ve got a website—but now what?

If your website is live but not actively cared for, you’re not getting the full value out of it. Just like a car needs oil changes and services to keep it running, your website needs regular updates, protection, and improvements to stay healthy and performing at its best.

At B_Limitless, our Website Care Plans are designed to take all the stress, technical tasks, and “what ifs” off your plate—so you can focus on your business while we take care of your digital presence.

Let’s break down what you actually get with a B_Limitless Website Care Plan—and why it matters.

Gif of a frustrated woman mad at her website not working

It’s More Than Hosting

  • Malware scanning and removal

How to Understand Basic Google Analytics (Without Being a Techie)

How to Understand Basic Google Analytics (Without Being a Techie)

All Posts, Google Analytics, Guides, Maintenance & Management, SEO, Websites

You’ve probably heard that “you should check your Google Analytics”… but when you log in, it feels like trying to read a foreign language. Numbers everywhere. Charts. Bounce what?

Don’t worry—you’re not alone.

At B_Limitless, we believe data should feel empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why we’re breaking down Google Analytics in simple, real-world terms so you know how your website is performing—without needing to be a developer or data analyst.

This is your guide to understanding Google Analytics basics (and actually making use of the numbers you see).

Gif of a frustrated woman mad at her website not working

What Is Google Analytics (And Why Does It Matter)?

Google Analytics is a free tool that shows you how people find and use your website.

It answers questions like:

  • How many people visited my site?

  • Where did they come from?

  • What pages are they looking at?

  • Are they doing what I want them to do (like contact me or download something)?

  • Are they bouncing right away?

It’s like getting behind-the-scenes access to what’s happening on your site 24/7.

6 Key Google Analytics Terms You Actually Need to Know

Let’s simplify the dashboard. Here are the only metrics most small business owners need to look at regularly:

Users

This is how many individual people visited your site.
💡 Think of it like how many customers walked into your digital store.

Sessions

This is how many times your website was visited (one user can have multiple sessions).
💡 One person can visit your site more than once—that’s multiple sessions from one user.

Bounce Rate

The percentage of people who landed on your site and left without clicking anything.
💡 A high bounce rate can mean they didn’t find what they needed—or your site loaded too slow.
👉 See Why Speed Matters

Pages per Session

How many pages each visitor looks at during their visit.
💡 The higher the number, the more engaged your visitors are.

Average Session Duration

How long people spend on your site per visit.
💡 The longer, the better (usually). Short times might mean your content isn’t engaging—or your site isn’t easy to navigate.

Traffic Sources

Where your visitors came from:

  • Organic Search (Google)

  • Direct (typed your URL)

  • Referral (linked from another site)

  • Social (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)

💡 This tells you which channels are actually working for your marketing!

How This Helps You Make Better Decisions

When you understand your data, you can:

  • Double down on what’s working (more of that content, more of that traffic source!)

  • Fix what’s not (like a slow or high-bounce page)

  • Spot trends early (Is traffic dipping? Is engagement dropping?)

It also helps you talk to your web team (hi 👋) about improvements with confidence.

💡 If your bounce rate is high or pages per session are low, your site might need optimisation.
