LoopyLuci CMS and Website Management
Managing content management systems and websites — from setup and configuration through content management, security, performance optimization, and maintenance.
When to Use
- Setting up a new website or CMS (WordPress, Ghost, etc.)
- Managing website content, media, and users
- Performing website maintenance (updates, backups, security)
- Optimizing website performance (speed, caching, CDN)
- Managing domains, hosting, and DNS

Common Pitfalls
- Not updating — outdated CMS/plugins cause 90% of hacks; update weekly
- No backups — when site crashes, you lose everything; automated daily backups
- Too many plugins — each plugin adds bloat and vulnerability; minimize plugins
- Ignoring mobile — 60%+ of traffic is mobile; test every change on mobile
- No staging environment — testing changes directly on production causes downtime
- Weak passwords — admin accounts with weak passwords = site compromise
Verification Checklist
- CMS and all plugins updated to latest versions
- Automated backups configured (files + database)
- SSL certificate valid and configured
- CDN configured for static assets
- Caching enabled (page cache, browser cache)
- Security plugin/WAF installed
- Contact forms working
- 404 page customized
- Robots.txt and sitemap configured
- Google Search Console verified
- Analytics tracking code installed
- Staging environment for testing
