With WordPress boasting over 60% market share, the need for reliable WordPress maintenance services is in increasing demand.

Just as you need to maintain your car and home, your website needs continual upkeep; not doing so leaves your site vulnerable to attacks and poor performance, both resulting in a bad user experience.

To understand the importance of WordPress maintenance, let’s look at what’s involved in keeping your website secure.

What does a WordPress Maintenance provider do?

Maintaining a WordPress website isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. More often than not, it involves a regular schedule of administrative tasks to ensure your website is updated with the latest tech and is stable and secure for your customers. Our maintenance services cover:

Updates

WordPress developers regularly push out essential theme and plugin updates, that if missed, will leave your website vulnerable. We keep on top of every CMS core, theme file and plugin update to make sure your website is as compatible and up-to-date as possible.

 

WordPress and Server Performance

A fast website is essential for the success of every business. We use fast and reliable servers to ensure your customers get the best experience possible, every time.

 

Backups

We schedule automated website backups daily to prevent any data loss and a quick recovery if required. These are typically taken in the morning and evening to ensure any changes to the website are safe and contained in each backup.

 

Security

As experienced maintenance providers, website security is our top priority. We protect your site using the safest hosting servers, regularly update your WordPress core CMS, and perform monthly updates to PHP, SSH, Nginx, and MySQL. This ensures your site is stable, secure, and running the latest technology at all times.
 

Uptime monitoring

We continuously monitor the uptime of your website to minimise downtime and keep your site online. Our security monitoring defends against threats such as bots, DDOS attacks, and malicious scripts. As part of our WordPress maintenance services, we provide monthly status reports detailing updated plugins and services running on your servers.

WordPress Maintenance FAQs

What do we include in our WordPress maintenance service? 

Our core service includes updates, backups, security monitoring and support to your WordPress site.

 

How often should a WordPress website be maintained? 

 We recommend staying on top of your website’s maintenance, with updates and security checks performed monthly. You can sometimes get away with not doing this, but that’s often a recipe for disaster that can result in normal business operations coming to a complete stop. This is very easily avoidable, especially on WordPress websites.

 

Can’t we just handle the maintenance ourselves? 

While it’s possible to perform basic WordPress maintenance tasks yourself, more complex tasks, which are often critical to website security, are more challenging and time-consuming. Our comprehensive service provides a complete support solution, ensuring your website is always secure.

 

How much does WordPress maintenance cost? 

Maintenance services can vary in cost depending on the level of support required. 

Every client has different needs, which is why we don’t offer set plans. Instead, we offer bespoke plans that are affordable and scalable to meet the needs of different types of websites.
