WordPress maintenance that keeps your website secure and fast

What WordPress maintenance includes

WordPress maintenance includes updates, daily backups, security protection, 24/7 monitoring, speed care and a monthly report. These are already part of the Basic package; larger packages add development hours, faster support and growth work.

• Updates to WordPress core, plugins and theme
• Daily backups, kept for up to 90 days
• Patchstack protection against vulnerable plugins
• 24/7 monitoring – we know about outages right away
• WP Rocket caching and automatic database optimization
• Broken link checks plus a monthly report and SEO report
• From Standard up: 1 hour of development and content changes per month, plus bug fixes

How we update WordPress without breaking your site

We run WordPress updates so that a fresh backup exists beforehand and we check afterwards that the site works. If a plugin breaks something after an update, we restore the site from the backup and fix the issue calmly.

If your site isn’t on WordPress, see the website maintenance page – it explains how we look after other platforms too. For an in-depth guide, read WordPress maintenance in Estonia on our blog.

• Before the update: a daily backup is in place, and backups are kept for up to 90 days
• The update: WordPress core, plugins and theme
• After the update: we check the site, the forms and, for WooCommerce, the cart
• If something breaks: we restore from backup and fix the issue

Why an unmaintained WordPress site is a risk

An unmaintained WordPress site is a risk because outdated plugins and themes are the most common way WordPress sites get hacked. Once a vulnerability is public, automated bots look for it on thousands of sites at once – small business sites included.

The second danger is a broken update. Run updates blindly and a single plugin can break your layout, a form or the cart. That is why we take a backup before updating and check afterwards that the site works. The third problem is slowdown: over time the database fills with clutter and the site gets slower, which hurts both visitors and Google rankings.

How the takeover works

The takeover has three steps: a free audit, a one-day takeover and then monthly maintenance. All we need from you is access; we do the rest.

• 1. Free audit – we review the site and send a written overview within 2 business days, even if we don’t end up working together.
• 2. One-day takeover – we take a backup, set up monitoring and security protection and update what needs updating.
• 3. Monthly maintenance – updates, backups and checks continue every month, and you get a report at the end of each month.

Who it suits

WordPress maintenance suits any company or organization whose website has to work but who has no time or wish to look after it technically. If the site doesn’t exist yet or needs a new build, see our website development service.

• Small businesses whose site brings in enquiries and calls
• WooCommerce stores, where every outage means lost sales
• Organizations and non-profits without their own IT person
• Other content management systems on request
