The data protection landscape remains in flux. What was compliant yesterday may pose a legal risk tomorrow. For WordPress agencies and developers, this means that vigilance is a must. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) continues to form the foundation of European data protection law. However, its interpretation and enforcement by authorities and courts are constantly evolving. At the same time, new technologies such as AI are raising additional questions about data processing. In this article, we look at six current data protection regulations for websites in 2026 and show you how specialised tools such as iubenda can help you to implement these requirements efficiently and operate your website in compliance with the GDPR. The most important data protection requirements […]

A website migration is not just about technology, but also about maintaining the visibility that has grown in search engines and increasingly also in LLMs. Even small errors in redirects, indexing or performance can cause ranking losses. My article therefore highlights key SEO hurdles during migrations and how these can be made manageable with clear processes, clean staging, stable hosting and consistent monitoring. Why is a migration so sensitive from an SEO perspective? From an SEO perspective, the migration of a website is not a purely technical infrastructure change, but an intervention in a system already interpreted by search engines. Over time, a structure of URLs, internal links, technical signals and external references is created, which together characterise the visibility […]

If your WordPress website suddenly becomes slow or goes down, you will feel the consequences immediately. Downtime costs revenue, visibility and trust. As WordPress is extended with plugins and themes, even small updates or new functions can have a noticeable impact on performance.

This article shows you which KPIs are important, which tools will help you and how you can implement your WordPress performance optimisation on a daily basis to keep your website stable, fast and reliable. What is WordPress monitoring? How monitoring differs from maintenance and optimisation Maintenance deals with updates, backups and the security of your website. Optimisation […]

Then you should keep an eye on the most important key performance indicators for your Facebook Ads. Because only those who check the most important key performance indicators (KPIs) on a daily basis – and try to optimise them – will be successful with their advertising campaign on Facebook.

Many people think that a website is finished after the launch. The truth is different: Without regular WordPress maintenance, the risk of security vulnerabilities, downtime and loss of revenue increases dramatically. In the first half of 2025 alone, 6,700 new security vulnerabilities were reported in WordPress plugins, themes and core. A professional WordPress maintenance contract protects your website from these risks. In this article, you will find out which services are included, how agencies calculate fair prices and why maintenance contracts are a win-win solution for both sides. Why WordPress maintenance contracts are indispensable A WordPress website is never “finished”. Without regular maintenance, security vulnerabilities arise, loading times deteriorate and downtime costs revenue. A professional WordPress maintenance contract ensures security, […]

Anyone who manages many WordPress projects knows how quickly the daily routine consists of updates, backups, support requests and reporting. A centralised platform with automated processes saves time and reduces errors. This article shows you how to manage multiple WordPress sites, what tools are available and how you can impress your customers. As an agency or freelancer, success quickly grows into a logistics task. One project becomes ten, ten become twenty. In practice, managing multiple WordPress sites means dozens of logins, different hosting environments, manual updates and the constant pressure to keep track of everything. WordPress Multisite is often cited as a solution, but is only suitable for connected projects. Agencies, on the other hand, need tools that map independent […]

The energy consumption of websites is constantly growing: Internet use causes tens of millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases every year. This makes the question of whether you can do something to protect the environment by choosing a web host superfluous. Because sustainable web hosting can make an important difference here. But how can you recognise a truly environmentally friendly provider and how can you avoid greenwashing? In this article, we answer all your questions about sustainable web hosting. Why it pays to take a closer look at sustainable web hosting A look at some current figures quickly shows why a sustainable provider makes a difference. For example, it is estimated that internet use in Germany generates around 22 million […]

Even small changes in WordPress can have a big impact. A new plugin, a theme update or an adjustment to the code can mean that your website suddenly stops working properly. A WordPress staging site offers you a safe test environment in which you can safely try out updates, designs and new functions before they become visible to your visitors. In this article, you will find out why a WordPress test environment is so important, how to set up WordPress staging and which tools will help you. This will help you avoid downtime and ensure that your website always runs stably and professionally. What is a WordPress staging site? A WordPress staging site is an exact copy of your live […]

While web hosting used to be a rather interchangeable service, it has now become an important part of the foundation of successful projects. This is also evident when looking at current trends and developments in 2026. In this article, I present the three most important points that will matter this year. Trend 1: Performance is more than loading time Website performance is more important than ever. On the one hand, it determines the user experience and therefore fundamentally the success or failure of a project. There is a clear correlation between this factor and the question of how many leads or orders a website can collect. On the other hand, performance is increasingly perceived as a sign of quality, which […]

Many WordPress websites start small and grow faster than planned. New content, increasing visitor numbers and marketing campaigns generate more traffic.
