Sure, updating plugins and new versions of WordPress is not all that hard to do; however, knowing which plugins can be used for your site and which ones will cause problems, that’s another thing altogether. Downloading and installing updates can be a frustrating problem at times for existing websites because the new update may not work with some of your websites special features.

Sometimes you may install the newly-updated version or a plugin and it may not work at all or, worst case, it could “break” the entire site. This downtime or lack of functionality can lead to lost revenue, missed leads, and overall loss of brand trust for those visiting your “broken” site.
