How do I

Hi everyone,

I’m currently managing multiple WordPress sites and have been using MainWP to streamline updates, backups, and security checks. While it’s been a great tool so far, I wanted to reach out to the community to see if there are any best practices, tips, or workflows that have worked well for others.

A few specific things I’m curious about:

  1. Optimizing Performance – Are there any specific settings or configurations in MainWP that help improve performance when managing a large number of sites?
  2. Security & Backups – What are the best strategies for ensuring regular, reliable backups? Do you integrate MainWP with any external backup solutions?
  3. Custom Reports & Monitoring – How do you set up effective reporting to monitor site health, plugin updates, and potential security issues?
  4. Automation & Extensions – Are there any must-have MainWP extensions that significantly improve efficiency?
  5. Scaling Up – As I add more sites to my MainWP dashboard, what are some common pitfalls to avoid?

Any insights, workflows, or even personal experiences would be really helpful! Looking forward to hearing how others are using MainWP to manage their WordPress sites effectively.
