+ Jason's Comments

This plugin allows you to select exactly what you want to backup or exclude. Create a type of job for database or a type of back up job for files or a backup job for both. Schedule them automatically or manually and choose where to save them. The database optimize and repair is useful too.

I recommend offsite (remote) server backup. Example to personal Dropbox (Setup $25).
I provide the PRO upgrade $95AUD / $49 renewal (install, setup, restore feature – RRP $69USD) contact me.
I can provide offsite (remote) backup to my AWS server for $39 AUD / year – contact me.

Website Optimization and Maintenance

There are a few ways to optimize and speed up your website for viewers and search engines: database clean up, image optimization, page / script compression, CPU / server load optimization, server file caching and utilize browser caching.

I provide website tune ups on request and recommend a schedule for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Page Speed optimization.

Optimization is best applied together with website security and protection and backup and maintenance.
