Monthly Maintenance

Your Website Always Fresh, Always Working

Websites aren't set-and-forget. Plugins need updates, content needs refreshing, and performance needs monitoring. Our monthly maintenance retainer keeps your site secure, up to date, and performing — without you lifting a finger.

Plugin and core updates — tested, not just clicked

Most WordPress hacks exploit outdated plugins. But blindly updating all plugins at once is how sites break. We stage updates, test for conflicts, verify functionality after each update, and only push to live when we've confirmed nothing is broken. You get the security of being up to date without the risk of an untested mass update.

  • WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated monthly
  • Updates staged and tested before applying to live site
  • PHP version managed — upgrade when ready, not by force
  • Incompatible plugins identified and replaced proactively
  • Changelog review before updating — flagging breaking changes
  • Full backup taken immediately before any update session

Uptime monitoring with 1-minute checks and instant alerts

We monitor your site with 1-minute interval checks from multiple geographic locations. If your site goes down, we receive an alert within 30 seconds and begin investigating immediately — often resolving the issue before you even know it happened. Monthly uptime reports show you exactly what happened and when.

  • 1-minute interval checks from 5 worldwide locations
  • Email and SMS alert within 30 seconds of downtime
  • Response time monitoring — performance degradation flagged
  • SSL certificate expiry monitoring — alert at 30 days
  • Monthly uptime percentage in your report
  • Historical incident log with resolution times

Monthly performance scans, content edits, and a clear report

Every month we run a security malware scan, check for broken links, clean the WordPress database (post revisions, transients, spam comments), verify PageSpeed scores haven't regressed, and make any approved content edits you've queued up. On the 1st of the following month you receive a clear PDF report with every metric.

  • Full malware scan and file integrity check
  • Broken link detection and resolution
  • Database cleanup — revisions, transients, spam, trash
  • PageSpeed Insights score check — alert if drops below threshold
  • Content edits — text, images, pricing, minor page updates
  • Monthly PDF report: uptime, updates, issues, and performance
