Activity 5: Troubleshoot WordPress errors and monitor uptime
WordPress maintenance will not be complete without fixing any errors or problems that may occur on the website. As part of the maintenance process, you will need to monitor any issues that users are experiencing, check for broken links, monitor uptime, and resolve any errors that have recently been encountered.

To fix the problem, you can start by finding and fixing broken links . A broken or dead link occurs when a web page is deleted or moved to a different location. As a result, the server displays a 404 error message: the page was not found.

You can fix 404 errors using tools like AIOSEO’s Broken Link Checker . It’s free and easy to use for beginners. The lithuania telemarketing data plugin automatically scans your site for broken links and lets you instantly create 301 redirects to fix them.

Next, you should also set up server uptime monitoring for your site. Uptime is the time when your website is up and running and available to users on the Internet. If your site is down due to a security threat or human error, it can hurt your user experience and SEO rankings.

An easy way to fix this problem is to use uptime monitoring tools. In our experience, we recommend using UptimeRobot . This is a free service that monitors your site every 5 minutes and sends you alerts through multiple channels.

You can also use other tools like Pingdom and IsItWP's Website Uptime Status Checker. For more details, see our guide on how to monitor WordPress website uptime .

Additionally, you need to pay attention to various WordPress errors . For example, sometimes plugins may disappear from the Dashboard, the site may get stuck in maintenance mode, plugin conflicts may occur, and more.
