Your website mentions the high reward for performing wudu correctly, a person’s minor sins will be forgiven.
If a person sometimes didn’t perform his wudu with the all the Sunnah actions, can it be hoped that much of his previous minor sins will still be forgiven?
Answer:
‘Allamah Sindhi (rahimahullah) writes: “The apparent meaning of this Hadith is carrying out all the obligatory [wajib] acts of wudu. Thus sufficing on the obligatory acts would be sufficient [to attain the reward mentioned in the Hadith in question]. However, it is possible that the Hadith includes the obligatory acts as well as the optional acts, therefore a person should do both to ensure that he attains this reward.”
(Hashiyatus Sindhi ‘ala Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1 pg. 424. Also see: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 8606 and At Taysir, vol. 2 pg. 411)

Note: There are many Hadiths which speak about the reward of making wudu thoroughly. Therefore to secure the maximum rewards, a person should ensure that he fulfils the Sunnah acts of wudu as well.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
