When your website goes down, first check with your
hosting provider to see if they're experiencing any
downtime on their servers. If your website is going down
because of server issues, it's probably time to upgrade
to fully managed WordPress hosting.

If your server is up and running, you may need to reach
out to someone you can trust to assess and fix a
technical issue on your site.
But knowing you have a problem on your
website is the first step you can take towards
fixing it!

you have in place stand up

enough about my site to Well, that's

In general, the less traffic a website
receives, the fewer security
measures are in place. This makes a
low or medium trafficked website
the prime target for an attack.
