If you’re in charge of maintaining a website or websites, you know that it’s a seemingly never-ending task. Unfortunately, a website is never truly finished. Issues can arise at any time for various reasons. There are new features to add, improvements to make, and bugs to fix. Not to mention content to write! With so much activity, it’s easy for problems large and small to slip in unnoticed. Even if your site isn’t in active development, databases grow, hard drives fill up, and software updates sometimes introduce breaking changes.
