Will my website ever go down during maintenance?

Modified on Wed, 16 Jul at 12:04 PM

During maintenance, your website may experience brief periods of unavailability, especially during updates to WordPress core files, themes, or plugins. This is because WordPress temporarily places your site into maintenance mode to safely apply these updates.


To manage this process efficiently, we utilize a WordPress management tool that allows us to perform updates seamlessly. This tool offers a Maintenance Mode feature, enabling us to display a user-friendly message to your visitors during updates, informing them that your site is undergoing maintenance and will be back shortly.


While our goal is to minimize downtime, it's important to note that brief interruptions can occur during maintenance. Rest assured, we schedule these updates during off-peak hours whenever possible to reduce any impact on your site's visitors.


In the rare event that your site remains in maintenance mode longer than expected, it could be due to a lingering .maintenance file in your site's root directory. This can happen if an update is interrupted or doesn't complete properly. If this occurs, we promptly address the issue by removing the .maintenance file to restore your site's normal functionality.


By leveraging our WordPress management tool and adhering to best practices, we strive to keep your website's maintenance process smooth, minimizing downtime and ensuring a seamless experience for your visitors.
