Seven checks. Under an hour. Dashboard access and a browser, nothing to buy.

We wrote a WordPress security audit you can run yourself, ordered so the checks most likely to find real exposure come first.

The one that surprises people is the first: who has Administrator access. The developer who built the site four years ago. An agency you stopped working with. A staff member who left. A plugin support account created for a one-off issue in 2023. All ordinary, all still able to install software on your site.

The one that matters most is multi-factor authentication on every account that can install a plugin. Ten minutes of work, and it defeats the most common way small business sites are compromised.

And the backup question is not "do you have backups" — everyone says yes to that. It is when anyone last restored one and opened it.

The pitch for serverless caching is that you pay for what you use. The honest version is that you pay for what you use and accept a latency profile you did not have before.

• The starting position
• Change 1: always-on Redis → serverless Redis
• Change 2: min-instances=0

Is your CRM actually costing you more than you think? 🤔

We've done the honest comparison: EngageBay vs Salesforce vs Mautic vs SendFox vs Salesflare vs Twenty CRM — 6 tools, real AUD pricing, and a straight-talking breakdown for Australian small businesses.

A few things that might surprise you:
• Salesforce Pro Suite costs ~AUD $155/user/month — that's $5,580/year for 3 people, before setup or Zapier
• Mautic is free to self-host but the real cost is 4+ hours of maintenance per month
• Twenty CRM is a genuinely impressive open-source option if you have a technical team
• EngageBay puts CRM, email, helpdesk, and automation on a single data model from AUD $23/user/month

The right tool depends entirely on your team size, technical capacity, and contact volume. We've mapped it all out so you don't have to.
