Need for Regular Updates

  functionalities and features. From minor changes,
  like extending new oEmbed providers in the
  WordPress 4.4 version to major ones like
  introducing Gutenberg in WordPress 5.0 version,
  it aims to ease the processes of content creation
  and website building.

  stored on your website. WordPress counters this
  problem by launching timely security updates to
  add new security patches.

  platform. You can get relief from existing
  problems on your site and enjoy a smooth journey.
