Common problems

What holds Media Houses back online?

Reach depends on platforms

When a social platform changes what it shows, traffic to stories drops overnight and the publisher has no audience of its own.

Busy news days slow the site

A big story brings a sudden rush of readers, and a site on an undersized plan becomes slow just when attention peaks.

The archive is at risk

Years of stories and photos sit in one place, and a hacked plugin or failed update can wipe them out without a backup.
