Website maintenance plan: what to check weekly, monthly and quarterly
By Kiara DalmiaContent Writer, Advorize
The short answer
A website maintenance plan schedules the checks that keep a site safe and earning: backups and uptime daily, form and tracking tests weekly, updates and speed checks monthly, and security, content and SEO reviews quarterly.
Key takeaways
- Untested backups are not backups.
- Test lead forms weekly; they break silently.
- Update dependencies monthly, not when something breaks.
- Review content and SEO quarterly.
| Cadence | Checks |
|---|---|
| Daily | Automated backups, uptime monitoring |
| Weekly | Submit every form, check tracking, review errors |
| Monthly | Updates and patches, speed and Core Web Vitals |
| Quarterly | Security review, broken links, content refresh, restore test |
Our maintenance & support plans run this schedule. For what tends to break and when, read what breaks on a website.
