Your monthly summary may contain multiple items inside "SLA Micro" section. Here is what do they mean.
CMS update and CMS free plugins verification and updates
Once per month CMS system and all its plugins are updated.
In this section we are indicating if your CMS system and plugins were updated. It is important to keep up to date systems because of multiple reasons, of which at least two are critical:
- Updates to new systems contain security fixes. If you would like to avoid being hacked, updating plugins and CMS is very first step to improve security.
- Systems that are not update on regular basis are creating over time "technological debt". It means, that unmanaged system are getting old over time and the longer period of time without updates, the harder it is to update given system. At some point it may be better to trash old system and create everything from scratch.
In SLA Micro package we are only updating free parts of the system. For updating paid plugins you should check higher packages.
