WordPress maintenance so nothing breaks quietly
Updates applied straight to a live site are how most WordPress emergencies start. Maintenance means those updates get tested somewhere safe first, and someone notices when something goes wrong before your customers do.
What's included
- Core, theme and plugin updates tested on staging
- Automated off-site backups with tested restores
- Uptime and error monitoring
- Security hardening and malware scanning
- Monthly performance and Core Web Vitals check
- Plain-English monthly report
Why it matters
The value here isn't the updates themselves — it's that someone is responsible. Sites without maintenance tend to be fine for a year and then break badly, usually at the worst possible moment.
Audit first, always
Nothing gets quoted before I've looked at what exists. You get a written scope with what I'd change, what I'd leave alone, and why.
