CMS_OPTIONS = { 'wordpress': { 'type': 'full_cms', 'hosting': 'shared, VPS, managed WP', 'setup_time': '30 min', 'strengths': 'Largest ecosystem, plugins, themes, community', 'weaknesses': 'Security, performance with too many plugins', 'requirements': 'PHP 8+, MySQL/MariaDB, Apache/Nginx', }, 'ghost': { 'type': 'headless_cms', 'hosting': 'Ghost(Pro), VPS, serverless', 'setup_time': '15 min', 'strengths': 'Fast, modern editor, membership built-in', 'weaknesses': 'Fewer themes, no plugin ecosystem', 'requirements': 'Node.js, MySQL/SQLite', }, 'statamic': { 'type': 'flat_file_cms', 'hosting': 'Any PHP hosting', 'setup_time': '10 min', 'strengths': 'No database, Git-friendly, flexible', 'weaknesses': 'Paid license, smaller community', 'requirements': 'PHP 8+', }, } @staticmethod def get_setup_guide(cms: str, domain: str, hosting: str) -> List[str]: """Get step-by-step CMS setup instructions.""" guides = { 'wordpress': [ f"1. Point {domain} DNS to {hosting}", "2. Create MySQL database and user", "3. Download WordPress and upload via SFTP", "4. Run wp-config.php setup wizard", "5. Install essential plugins (SEO, caching, security)", "6. Choose theme and customize", "7. Set permalinks to /%postname%/", ], 'ghost': [ f"1. Provision server/node with Node.js 18+", "2. Install Ghost-CLI: npm install -g ghost-cli", "3. mkdir blog && cd blog && ghost install", "4. Configure domain, email, SSL during setup", "5. Access /ghost to configure theme and settings", ], } return guides.get(cms, [f"Manual setup guide for {cms}"]) ``` ## Website Audit ```python class WebsiteAudit: """Audit website health across multiple dimensions.""" @staticmethod def audit(domain: str, checks: Dict = None) -> Dict: """Run a comprehensive website audit.""" checks = checks or {} results = { 'domain': domain, 'security': WebsiteAudit._check_security(domain, checks.get('security')), 'performance': WebsiteAudit._check_performance(checks.get('performance')), 'seo_fundamentals': WebsiteAudit._check_seo(checks.get('seo')), 'maintenance': WebsiteAudit._check_maintenance(checks.get('maintenance')), } # Overall score scores = [r.get('score', 0) for r in results.values() if isinstance(r, dict)] results['overall'] = round(sum(scores) / max(len(scores), 1), 1) return results @staticmethod def _check_security(config: Dict = None) -> Dict: issues = [] if config: if not config.get('ssl'): issues.append("SSL/HTTPS not enabled") if not config.get('firewall'): issues.append("No WAF configured") if not config.get('backups'): issues.append("No automated backups") score = max(0, 100 - len(issues) * 20) return {'score': score, 'issues': issues} @staticmethod def _check_performance(config: Dict = None) -> Dict: issues = [] if config: if config.get('load_time', 0) > 3: issues.append("Page load > 3 seconds") if not config.get('caching'): issues.append("No caching enabled") if not config.get('cdn'): issues.append("No CDN") if not config.get('image_optimized'): issues.append("Images not optimized") score = max(0, 100 - len(issues) * 15) return {'score': score, 'issues': issues} ``` ## Maintenance Schedule ```python MAINTENANCE_TASKS = { 'daily': [ 'Check for uptime (monitoring service)', 'Check security logs for suspicious activity', 'Verify backups completed successfully', ], 'weekly': [ 'Update CMS core, plugins, themes', 'Review and moderate comments', 'Check broken links', 'Review analytics for anomalies', ], 'monthly': [ 'Full website backup (files + database)', 'Delete spam comments and old revisions', 'Check and optimize database tables', 'Review and update content', 'Test contact forms and key functionality', ], 'quarterly': [ 'Complete security audit', 'Update passwords and review user accounts', 'Check and update SSL certificate', 'Review and prune unused plugins/themes', 'Performance audit (PageSpeed, GTmetrix)', 'Review SEO rankings and update content', ], 'annually': [ 'Domain renewal check', 'Hosting plan review (do you need an upgrade?)', 'Full content audit (update outdated info)', 'Design refresh consideration', 'Privacy policy and terms review', ], } def get_maintenance_report() -> str: """Generate maintenance status report.""" report = "🛠️ Website Maintenance Report\n" report += "=" * 40 + "\n" import datetime report += f"Date: {datetime.date.today()}\n\n" for period, tasks in MAINTENANCE_TASKS.items(): report += f"[{period.upper()}]\n" for task in tasks: report += f" ⬜ {task}\n" report += "\n" return report ``` ## Common Pitfalls 1. **Not updating** — outdated CMS/plugins cause 90% of hacks; update weekly 2. **No backups** — when site crashes, you lose everything; automated daily backups 3. **Too many plugins** — each plugin adds bloat and vulnerability; minimize plugins 4. **Ignoring mobile** — 60%+ of traffic is mobile; test every change on mobile 5. **No staging environment** — testing changes directly on production causes downtime 6. **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 ## See Also - seo-search-engine-optimization — technical SEO for websites - website-analytics-tracking — analytics for website - blog-building-content-strategy — content on CMS - web-security-patterns — securing the website
