What I Kept Noticing
I have worked as a web administrator for businesses in the GTA for over 15 years. I noticed similar problems occurring across contractor websites.
Common issues:
- Unmanaged WordPress sites with plug-in version conflicts that can break the site or cause security warnings
- "Not Secure" browser warnings from expired SSL certificates
- Missing DNS records that prevented reliable email delivery
- Broken layouts and content shifting
- Slow mobile load times
- Navigation issues between desktop and mobile
- Missing or broken click-to-call buttons
- Outdated or incomplete Google Business Profiles
* Problems like these occur over time and cause credibility issues that can impact your business.
Why This Happens
Many contractor websites are built with WordPress, which is the most widely used website platform - used by 43% of all websites and 68% of all CMS-built sites.
WordPress became the go-to for many web design agencies but the architecture requires constant maintenance. It's a complex system that compiles pages dynamically and relies on a database, which makes it vulnerable to attacks.
Outdated plugins and themes can conflict with the core WordPress software and are often not consistently maintained.
TradesAdmin was created specifically to fix these problems and to offer a secure and appropriate alternative when the platform itself is the issue.
WordPress is the most hacked CMS platform in the world because its market dominance makes it the most valuable target.
