WordPress Maintenance Service - Done for You
WordPress requires regular, careful maintenance to stay secure, current, and performing well. Our maintenance service handles all of it - updates, backups, security, performance monitoring - so you can focus entirely on your business.
What Happens to an Unmaintained WordPress Site
WordPress isn't a "set it and forget it" platform. Without regular maintenance, sites gradually deteriorate - and the consequences range from embarrassing to business-critical.
Outdated plugins are the #1 cause of WordPress hacks. Each update that doesn't get applied is a potential entry point for attackers.
Multiple plugins updating at different times without compatibility testing is a recipe for a broken site - often discovered by a customer, not you.
Database bloat, uncompressed images, and accumulated redundant data slow your site down - which hurts both rankings and conversions.
Many cheap hosting backups fail silently. You only find out when you need to restore and there's nothing there.
What Our Maintenance Covers
How We Apply Updates Safely
"Just clicking update" is how sites break. Our process is methodical - ensuring updates are applied safely, with an instant rollback path if anything goes wrong.
Backup first
A fresh backup is taken immediately before any update is applied - giving us an instant restore point.
Review the update
We check plugin changelogs for major changes, known conflicts, and compatibility with your WordPress version.
Apply & test
Updates are applied and the site is tested - key pages, forms, checkout if applicable - to confirm nothing has broken.
Monitor
Post-update monitoring continues for 24 hours. If any issues surface, we restore from the pre-update backup immediately.
Beyond Updates - What Maintenance Really Covers
Security Hardening
Login protection, file permission checks, and configuration hardening - reducing attack surface beyond just keeping software current.
Database Maintenance
Regular cleanup of post revisions, spam comments, expired transients, and orphaned metadata - keeping the database lean and queries fast.
Image Optimisation
New images uploaded to WordPress are automatically compressed and converted to WebP - preventing the gradual performance degradation that comes with unoptimised media.
Plugin Audit
Quarterly review of all installed plugins - removing unused ones, identifying redundant or conflicting ones, and flagging any that have become abandoned by their developers.
Monthly Reporting
A clear monthly summary of everything done: updates applied, security scan results, uptime, backup status, and performance scores - in plain language.
Content Update Requests
Simple content changes (text, images, contact details, prices) handled by email - no need to log into WordPress yourself.
