For example, set up a GitHub Actions workflow to run weekly performance audits or security scans.","tip":"Store sensitive data (API keys, credentials) in environment variables or WordPress constants (e.g., `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE`)."},{"step":"Monitor the impact of changes using tools like Query Monitor, New Relic, or WordPress's built-in Site Health tool.","tip":"Set up alerts for critical issues (e.g., failed cron jobs, plugin conflicts) using tools like UptimeRobot or WP Activity Log."}]
