What is included in the WordPress Support & Maintenance Plans?

We take care of your regular WordPress website maintenance needs:

  • security issues fixed,
  • day to day security tightened up
  • technical issues – fixed or planned for fixing
  • regular software updates
  • core web vitals – keep your site speedy
  • daily backups – just in case!
  • technical SEO – keep Google happy!

All Support plans include regular updates to core and plugins. Premium plans include parent theme updates and database cleanup too.

All plans include security scanning and protection with our proprietary formula (no extra plugins).

Every plan includes complete WordPress backups in a different server than your hosting server. We have nearly-instant access to restore any compromised page or site.

Every plan includes a detailed report on the 15th of every month.

Premium plans also include a ping every 5 minutes to confirm uptime. A developer is notified by cell phone immediately should the site seem ‘down’. It is taken care of immediately; most of the time before you are aware of the problem.

Premium plans also include these premium plugin services for as long as you are a maintenance customer:

  • WP-Rocket
  • Cloudflare DNS management
  • Imagic Image Optimization
  • Kadence Blocks Pro license
Backups

Daily backups AND instant access is available to restore files or sites.

Upgrades

Regular upgrades keep your site secure. Unique Security-specific upgrades are performed within hours.

Security

With proper care, your site does not need a security plugin. We prevent issues & fix existing vulnerabilities.

DNS & CDN

We use and recommend Cloudflare to protect and speed up your site.

Firewall

Premium plans include preventative care, monitoring and bot management.

Core Web Vitals

We install and configure a premium plugin to cache, and pre-load your site. Meaning you get an ‘A’ grade on GTMetrix.

Performance

When there is an interruption in service the on-call person is alerted and fixes it, usually before you are aware of the issue.

Email Support

The support desk is open for any and all questions from 9am to 5pm PST. Tix is required if we login to your site.

Block Editor

Kadence Blocks Pro license is included. Access to our courses and classes is also available.
