Is it best to go through and unpublish all articles and modules that aren't being used on a website? I'm particularly referring to a website that has been launched using one of the theme's Rocket Launch. My concern is that these might slow down the site and effect SEO, but I'm not sure. Looking for help and understanding.
Thanks!
If your unpublishing content then it will never have to be downloaded by a clients computer and won't take up resources on the server side. More importantly is how neat the Admin end will be with content that HAS to be there.
So you can Archive or Trash unnecessary articles. When you Archive an Article, the content is put into a state which removes it from your site as published content. The Article is still available from within the Control Panel and can be retrieved for editing or republishing purposes. Trashed Articles are just one step from being permanently deleted but are still available until you Remove them from the Trash Manager. You should use Archive if you consider an Article important, but not current. Trash should be used when you want to delete the content entirely from your site and from future search results.
For your modules the only option is Trash.
