Website maintenance: Why, When, How
Your Website - Your Car - The same
Pretty much everyone knows that with a car, if you fail to keep up with regularly scheduled maintenance, eventually, you’re going to experience a mechanical breakdown. This is not to say that if you neglected your maintenance, such as oil changes, tuneups, rotate your tires, brake work, etc. you were going to have a breakdown right away. A car can run a long time on dirty oil. Its cylinders can continue firing with fouled and dirty, spark plugs. Your tires will continue rolling down the road even when severely worn. And even your brakes will continue to stop your car even if the pads and shoes are severely worn.
Until they won’t.
A car can go a very long time, especially if it is brand new, without doing any maintenance before something major goes wrong, and your vehicle comes to a grinding halt. Those are just the facts. But sooner or later, that once dependable vehicle that was operating perfectly will no longer be dependable. On top of that, you are likely to have a very expensive repair bill at the shop.
