Essential plugin

I maintain other people’s websites for a living and when I get a new client, I always install Updraft if it’s not already there.

It is, far and away, the most no-nonsense, reliable, powerful backup solution for a WordPress site that is out there.

A lot of hosting services provide backups, but almost none of them will bring a site back as quickly as you can with a click or two in updraft. So when that Elementor update turns the site purple or breaks the mega menu, you can revert in a few seconds and fix it properly at your leisure.

If that’s not enough, consider also that Updraft also does site migrations better and more reliably than anything else. So when your clients decide to switch hosts, only they don’t have the credentials for their current host, you can still make the move without delay or hassles.
