WordPress Maintenance
Managed WordPress care — updates, security, uptime, and performance, handled monthly.
WordPress maintenance at scale
91% of WordPress vulnerabilities come from plugins. An unpatched plugin is not a hypothetical risk — it is a matter of when, not if. I manage WordPress maintenance for clients who want their sites secure, fast, and up without thinking about it.
What is included
Monthly core, plugin, and theme updates with pre-update staging tests. Weekly automated backups to off-site storage. Uptime monitoring with 5-minute checks and immediate alerts. Monthly Lighthouse audits. Security scanning for malware, injected scripts, and suspicious file changes. Emergency response for hacked sites.
White-label maintenance for agencies
If you run an agency and want to offer WordPress care plans to your clients without building the infrastructure, I provide white-label maintenance. You bill the client. I do the work. Your branding on every report.
Common questions
What is included in a WordPress care plan?
Core, plugin, and theme updates tested on staging before live deployment. Weekly backups to off-site storage (not on the same server). Uptime monitoring with alerts. Monthly security scans. Monthly performance check. Priority support response.
How do you handle plugin updates safely?
I test updates on a staging clone before applying to production. For sites with complex plugin interactions, I update one plugin at a time and verify after each. Automated rollback if a visual regression is detected.
Do you offer white-label maintenance for agencies?
Yes. You set the client price, I do the work under your brand. Monthly reports are white-labelled with your logo. This is a common arrangement for agencies that do not want to build maintenance infrastructure internally.
What happens if my WordPress site gets hacked?
Emergency malware removal is included in all care plans. I isolate the site, scan for injected code, remove it, patch the vulnerability, and restore from a clean backup if needed. Response within 4 hours during business hours.
Can you take over maintenance of a site another developer built?
Yes. I do an initial audit (plugins, theme, security posture, performance baseline) and then take over from there. I document everything I find and fix any immediate security or performance issues in the first month.
