Website care for an online store
- to bring a store that was a year behind on updates up to date
- 2 days
- plugins nobody used removed
- 18
- plugins with known security holes updated or replaced
- 6
- The challenge
- The store ran on WooCommerce with more than 40 plugins. Updates had been skipped for a year, because the last one broke the checkout.
- What we did
- We made a backup, then updated everything step by step and checked the store after each update. Plugins nobody used were removed, and the ones with known security holes were updated or replaced.
- The result
- The store is up to date and runs on fewer plugins, so there is less that can break or be attacked. Updates now go in every week, with a backup before and a check after.
