Group updates by risk

A small extension patch and a major commerce or builder release do not carry the same risk. We plan checks around the software and site journey affected.

Create a recovery point first

A current, usable backup gives the update a controlled recovery route, but recent orders and content still need consideration before any rollback.

Check the site after updating

Updates should finish with checks of the public site, wp-admin, forms, checkout, or other important features rather than assuming success from the update screen.
