If navigation is complicated, users will lose patience and go elsewhere.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Keeping your security systems updated protects you and your customers from cyber threats. If users don\u2019t see basic security measures in place, they lose trust to do business within your website.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Google views longstanding errors and technical issues, along with a high bounce rate (users leaving your website quickly after arriving), and determines that your website is not relevant, thus lowering your SERP (Search Engine Results Placement.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your website maintained and secured enables trust among its users and builds loyalty to your brand.
