Website Maintenance.
Keep Your Site Fast, Secure and Running Properly.
A website that was well-built six months ago can be vulnerable, slow and broken today if it is not maintained. We keep your WordPress site updated, secure, backed up and performing at the level it was launched at.
The Cost of Not Maintaining
A Website Is Not a One-Time Project. It Needs Ongoing Attention.
WordPress powers over 40 percent of the web. That makes it the most targeted platform for automated attacks. A plugin with a known vulnerability gets scanned for within hours of the vulnerability being published. Sites running unpatched versions get compromised before most owners even know there was an issue.
Beyond security, WordPress sites degrade over time without maintenance. Plugins conflict with each other after updates. Page speed drops as software bloat accumulates. Forms stop working. Images break. Search engines notice when a site starts responding slowly or returning errors.
A monthly maintenance agreement costs a fraction of what a hack recovery, emergency redesign or rankings recovery costs. It is the cheapest insurance a business website can have.
Hacked Sites Lose Rankings
Google flags compromised websites in Search Console and may delist them from results entirely until the issue is resolved. Recovering lost rankings after a hack takes months. Preventing the hack takes minutes each week.
Plugin Updates Break Things
WordPress plugin updates can conflict with themes or other plugins. We test all updates on a staging environment before applying them to your live site. Your visitors never experience a broken page because of a routine update.
Backups Are Not Optional
Most hosting providers do not guarantee complete, restorable backups. We maintain independent daily backups stored off-site so that any version of your site can be restored within hours regardless of what caused the problem.
Everything in a Monthly Maintenance Plan
Every maintenance plan covers the same core activities. What varies is the priority response time, the amount of content update work included and the depth of monthly reporting.
Security Monitoring and Updates
WordPress core, plugin and theme updates applied on a tested schedule. Malware scanning, firewall configuration and login protection. Vulnerabilities patched before they can be exploited by automated scanners.
Daily Backups
Automated daily backups of all files and the database stored in an off-site location independent of your hosting provider. Any version of your site can be restored quickly without relying on your host’s own backup system.
Performance Monitoring
Monthly PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals checks. We identify and resolve issues before they affect your search rankings or user experience. Plugin bloat, image optimisation and caching configuration reviewed regularly.
Uptime Monitoring
Automated monitoring that alerts us immediately if your site goes down. Most downtime events are resolved before you are even aware of them. Response time tracked and reported monthly.
Content Updates
Text edits, image swaps, page additions and minor layout changes handled as part of the plan. The exact number of update hours included depends on your plan tier. Larger development work is scoped and quoted separately.
Monthly Reporting
A clear monthly report covering work completed, security status, uptime statistics, performance scores and any issues identified. You know exactly what was done and what the current state of your site is.
Three Plan Tiers to Match Your Needs
All plans include the same core maintenance activities. The tiers differ in response time, monthly update hours and reporting depth. Contact us to confirm current pricing for each plan.
Every Task Completed on a Fixed Monthly Schedule
Maintenance is not reactive. It follows a structured monthly schedule so nothing gets missed and you are never left wondering what has been done on your site.
Week 1 – Updates and Security Scan
All WordPress core, plugin and theme updates applied. Full malware and vulnerability scan run. Update log documented.
Week 2 – Performance Check
PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals tested across desktop and mobile. Issues identified and resolved or flagged. Cache cleared and rebuilt.
Week 3 – Content Updates and Checks
Requested content updates applied. All forms tested. Broken links checked. SSL certificate and domain expiry reviewed.
Week 4 – Monthly Report
Full report delivered covering all work completed, uptime statistics, performance scores, backup status and any recommendations for the following month.
What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?
Security incidents, plugin conflicts and unexpected downtime happen even on well-maintained sites. The difference is how fast they get resolved.
On our maintenance plans, any critical issue triggers immediate response within the response window for your plan tier. We do not wait for a scheduled check.
Our daily backups mean that even in a worst-case scenario where a site needs to be restored from scratch, the maximum data loss is 24 hours. For most issues, restoration takes under two hours.
