Which geographical region do you get most of your users from?
In which order do visitors view your pages? Which page do they visit last?
Which channel do users use to connect to the website? Twitter, Google, Facebook, or yahoo.
How many visitors does your website record?
Once your website has been successfully designed, it does not mean that you have accomplished everything. Even in calm waters, a ship captain stays alert and stays in control. It is incredibly vital to keep track of the following:

Check Backups
All websites are designed with regular automated backups. It is vital to check its functionality.
Respond to Security alerts
When designing the website, you install a security scanner that will alert you of vital problems like injected malware all year. Any less crucial issues are always displayed in the scan area. The developer will deal with them during maintenance or the subsequent checks.
Carry out required Reconfigurements
At times, software bears substantial updates. This means that the website slightly breaks and requires reconfiguration. Make sure this is carried out.
Website regular checks are vital unless:
- The website was only needed for a short term, and it has already served its purpose
- The website owner has enough technical skills to maintain the site on his/her own.
- The website operates on a low budget, and regular checks are only done on a need basis.
Website aftercare is the most vital part of making sure that it has an up-to-date functionality, and it remains relevant. Make good use of professionals or personal maintenance skills.
