First off I want to say I've been around the site for a bit, but haven't posted much. I plan to be here more often soaking in all the advice of the countless experts that share their time here. Thanks for that by the way, and I plan on doing the same some day once I am in your shoes.

So I've had a DIY home electrical help website for more than 5 years now that generates income via Adsense. Recently I added an Amazon product store to the site, but that has not yet proven fruitful. The website has never made too much money but does generate some steady passive income each month, so I've kept it around.

The problem is, it seems like it stalls out here and there and I have recently put a great deal of time into the site transferring it to a new CMS platform. I could just leave it be I guess, but when I've tried that in the past, it seems to slow down until I freshen it up with new content.

My question is, should a website come to a point where the little steady passive income is not worth the time traded to keep it running?

Thanks to anyone that can give insight in advance.
