“We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.”
— Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani

 
This does not suggest that bad things will OR won't happen to you; it merely means that they take place in a random style as part of your everyday life. Holidays are coming. As you enjoy your well deserved time off, that means less attention for your WordPress. However, a few safe assumptions are always appropriate:
- 1 - statistics never lie
- 2 - whatever that can go wrong, will go wrong
- 3 - previous experiences prove it

You have been busy pulling endless hours, addressing issues from your consumers and managing your crucial day-to-day business. We know that heading to your family gathering for the holidays might not be the complete break from work you are wishing for. You're a business owner, running on WordPress and every year you're fearing the inevitable "problem avalanche", which usually comes right as the celebrations are about to start.

Now let's take a look at the upcoming Christmas vacation: Is the "bad news" truly as unavoidable as you might think? The role of a WordPress owner is not a 9-5 responsibility, however rather a 24/7/365. Do yourself a favour and attempt not to discuss these occasions when talking about your company at the family supper. If you do, you won't enjoy your meal and you'll be a bad-tempered boring person. Ignoring a quickly remediable real-life issue is never a solution. This phenomenon is called "selective perception". Selective perception is the tendency not to notice and more quickly forget stimuli that cause emotional discomfort and contradict our prior beliefs. (Wikipedia)

We all have it, whether we realize it or not. It's the procedure by which we choose, classify, and examine events from our environment to create meaningful experiences while shutting out stimuli that rather undoubtedly contradicts our expectations.

- 1 - statistics never lie
Something is specific: Throughout the holidays, WordPress issues are typically spiking. Reliable downtime statistics from hosting companies are few, because which company would like to publish such numbers? From our several years of experience, however, it can be said quite plainly that THERE IS A NEED to be prepared for serious WordPress problems throughout the Christmas - New Year period. A quick look at Google Trends validates this. What does the defenceless owner try to find in the Christmas and holiday season? The "syntax error, website down, Fatal Error, Internal Server Error, update failed" are certainly popular search terms - and according to Google Trends, there have been some parallel peaks in search habits in the last 12 months. Our WP Services can prevent all these issues.

Trends from 2016: 18/DEC/2016 - 8/JAN/2017 - Average statistical data for the search interest relative to the highest point on the chart is - syntax error (31), website down (48), Fatal Error (75), Internal Server Error (50), update failed (32). To have a simple comparison with a real high-performing search term - since the selected period is the main gifting season, the search term: "perfect gift" had an average of (38). Kinda ruins gift ideas the fact, that your website has problems.

Do you plan for the Worst, before you plan to celebrate the Best of this Season? When preparing to take some time off during the holidays, consider how things with your WordPress could remarkably fail. How you will recover when it does? Can you prevent another one? Having at least a strategy of how you could back out from any given scenario is better than having to entirely make it up throughout an unexpected circumstance. This Christmas use “What could possibly go wrong?” as your personal mantra. Maybe you should invest in some expert WP Services. With the ease of mind, that prevention offers, receive some valuable services as a bonus. Keep in mind: it is the job of a good manager to always consider what might fail.

When preparing for WordPress problems, always permit the fact that mistakes (whether human or technical idiocy) will happen. A short interruption or a brand-new enhancement should not cause a complete shutdown of your online presence. In the middle of an outage, you should consider if you could make things worse, then decide whether the risk is worth it. Sometimes it's better to hire our team and avoid making it worse, which might almost feel liberating.
