3. Website Health Check
Why and how to do a website health check.
With Jenny
"155cm of pure, unrestrained, Mancunian intensity, knowledge, and warmth" & Engineering Manager
Probably just as easy to go straight into Jenny’s talk.
Maintenance of your website is important but can be confusing.
Jenny will be sharing with us
why site health checks are important,
the consequences that can happen
and how you can perform a review yourself.
She will explain why you should upgrade your PHP.
