How automation can bring about change in operating WordPress websites?

by Clara Ghosh Senior Business Developer

Look at the various websites you visit over the World Wide Web today and a rather interesting statistic would emerge. More than 60 percent of all websites over the web today make use of WordPress, making it a platform which cannot be ignored in any way. The platform really scores when it comes to the world of WordPress plugins it offers for web development and this is perhaps the reason for such a great popularity which it enjoys. But there is still scope to make life better working with it, through automation.

Here are some aspects of website maintenance and operation, which stand to benefit greatly from WordPress automation:

Putting automation into updates

Although WordPress really is a platform comprising of smart plugins for perhaps any site operation activity you can think of, all these plugins and other elements of the platform such as database and templates need updating from time to time. This is where automation can really come in and handle updates to the site in the background, relieving you of the monotonous task.

Automation in backups

You would work hard on customizing templates, adding media, and updating content etc. on your website and you would surely not like to lose all this in some sort of a snag. Taking regular backups of the work and the site can help in this and this is yet again an area where WordPress automation can work its magic.

Blocking of spam content

Market your Wordpress website over the web and you would be astonished as to how many spam email you would have to tackle on a daily basis. Automation can be used to block messages with certain subject lines or from specific email domains.

Image Optimization

An image and the way it has been incorporated into your website can be pretty decisive in the overall performance and the page rank for your website. A wide variety of plugins automate the proper embedding of media and images, along with the search engine optimization side of things.
