It’s spring here in the northern hemisphere — why not incorporate your WordPress blog into your spring-cleaning routine?
Here are some ideas:
-
Go to your Plugins page and look for plugins you aren’t using. If you temporarily aren’t using a plugin, just deactivate it. Or, uninstall the plugin completely.
-
Find and fix those lingering 404 dust-bunnies.
-
Optimize your database tables to clear out that accumulating table clutter.
-
Clean out that obsolete code — check to see if you need to upgrade WordPress and/or your installed plugins.
While on the cyber spring-cleaning topic, it would also be a good idea to clean your computer and peripherals… a lot of gunk can collect there over time.
