Skipping routine maintenance feels like saving time and money in the short term, but the deferred cost usually compounds.
Small Problems Become Big Ones

Every month a known vulnerability goes unpatched is another month of exposure — the eventual cost of a breach almost always exceeds the cost of timely maintenance.
The Emotional Cost Too
A site that's been neglected for a long time becomes genuinely stressful to touch at all, since no one is confident what might break — regular maintenance keeps that anxiety from building.
