WordPress Maintenance and Security
An unmaintained WordPress site is a target. According to Sucuri (2025), WordPress accounts for 96.2% of malware-infected CMS installs. Our maintenance service keeps your site secure, fast and available around the clock, with weekly updates and 24/7 monitoring.
Why is WordPress maintenance essential for security?
WordPress is the number one target for cyberattacks because of its popularity. According to WPScan (2025), more than 50,000 vulnerabilities have been identified across the WordPress ecosystem (core, themes, plugins). Unpatched flaws are exploited within 72 hours of disclosure on average. A single outdated extension can compromise your entire site.
Our maintenance service includes weekly updates of WordPress core, your theme and every plugin, with manual compatibility checks in a staging environment before anything reaches production.
- 96.2% of infected CMS installs run WordPress (Sucuri, 2025)
- Weekly updates (core, theme, plugins) with staging
- Daily security scans (Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security)
- Anti-malware protection and web application firewall (WAF)
- Quarterly security audit with a detailed report

WordPress maintenance questions
- What happens if I do not maintain my WordPress site?▾
An unmaintained site accumulates security flaws, plugin incompatibilities and performance losses. On average, a WordPress site left without updates for 6 months carries 3 to 5 exploitable vulnerabilities. That can lead to a hack, data loss, deindexing by Google or extended downtime.
- Can updates break my site?▾
It can happen, which is why we test every update on a staging environment identical to your production site before deploying. If anything goes wrong, we restore your site to its previous state in under 2 hours thanks to our daily backups.
- Can I switch plans during my contract?▾
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time, effective the following month. Our contracts have no minimum commitment: you stay because the service delivers, not because a contract forces you to.
- Do I still need maintenance if I have managed hosting?▾
Managed hosts (WP Engine, Kinsta) handle the server infrastructure, but not theme and plugin updates, application security or front-end performance optimization. Our maintenance service covers those essential layers your host leaves out.
