At Pivva Technologies, we’ve worked with dozens of businesses that came to us saying, “Our website just isn’t working anymore.”

Some couldn’t load properly.

Some looked fine but didn’t bring in sales.

Others had disappeared entirely after a bad hosting setup.

After fixing over 50+ broken websites in the past year, we started to notice a pattern, the same mistakes kept repeating.

So today, we’re breaking down the 5 most common website problems we see (and how you can avoid them).

1. Poor Hosting Choices

Let’s be honest, cheap hosting can cost you more in the long run.

Many website owners choose the cheapest hosting plan they can find, not realizing it’s like building your house on shaky ground. Slow loading times, frequent downtime, and even total data loss are often the result.

Our Fix:

We help clients migrate to reliable, secure hosting that can handle growth, speed, and security — without costing a fortune.

 Always check if your hosting includes SSL, daily backups, and strong uptime performance (99.9% or higher).

2. Outdated or Broken Plugins

We’ve seen websites crash simply because one plugin wasn’t updated.

Plugins are like apps for your website when outdated, they can conflict with each other, cause layout errors, or even break your entire site.

Our Fix:

We audit every plugin, remove redundant or malicious ones, and replace them with secure, lightweight alternatives. Then we set up automated plugin monitoring so you never get caught off guard again.

3. Missing Backups and Security Gaps

Nothing hurts more than losing your website files and realizing there’s no backup anywhere.

We’ve seen it happen more than we’d like to admit.

Our Fix:

We create automated daily backups and secure your site with advanced firewallsand malware scanners. This ensures that even if something goes wrong, your website can be restored in minutes not weeks.

4. Poor Mobile Optimization

Here’s a hard truth:

Over 80% of your visitors in Nigeria are viewing your site on their phone.

Yet, many sites still look distorted or take ages to load on mobile. A non-responsive website immediately kills your credibility and user experience.

Our Fix:

We redesign and rebuild with mobile-first responsiveness, ensuring your site looks clean, fast, and professional on every screen size.

5. SEO & Speed Neglect

A slow website is like a store that takes forever to open its door people won’t wait.

We’ve fixed sites that took over 15 seconds to load, and in almost every case, they were packed with unoptimized images, unnecessary scripts, and zero SEO structure.

Our Fix:

We compress images, clean up bloated code, set up proper caching, and rebuild pages with an SEO-friendly structure so your site loads fast and ranks better on Google.

Every website problem has a solution but prevention is always cheaper than repair.

If your website is:

• loading slowly,

• not converting,

• showing errors, or

• not ranking on Google…

it might be time for a Pivva Website Audit.
