Optimizing old blog content can drive significant traffic to your website. Google prioritizes fresh content -- and when a piece of content is refreshed, the last updated date is displayed in SERPs. This can allow you to improve bounce rate, drive traffic, and increase click-through rate (CTR). Opt to refresh underperforming posts -- ensuring to correct any references within the article and adding new information wherever possible. Lastly, add branded images, update keywords, link to other posts, and promote the post. These tips will allow you to boost organic traffic with old content.

In addition to securing your site with SSL, you can improve security by updating plugins or extensions on your website, implmenting a Content Delivery Network (CDN), and using a password manager.
