Built for SMBs whose website is critical, but whose team has no time to maintain it
If your business runs on WordPress and your team has no spare technical capacity, this service is for you. WordPress powers more than 40% of the web, which makes it the most attacked CMS in existence. The vast majority of attacks target known plugin vulnerabilities that are patched within days, but only on sites where someone is actually applying the update. This service is the someone.

Three things most WordPress maintenance plans get wrong
Before paying for WordPress maintenance, here is what to watch for. We have inherited plenty of "managed" sites where the basics were never actually done.
The fastest way to lose a customer's website is applying a major plugin update on a Friday afternoon without testing first. We take a full backup before every update, run risky updates in a staging-like environment when possible, test critical pages after the update goes live, and roll back instantly if anything breaks. No surprise downtime, no Monday-morning panic.
Most agencies install Wordfence with default settings and walk away. The defaults will not stop a determined attack and will not even tune out the noise. We configure brute-force rules, country-level IP blocks where relevant, 2FA on admin accounts, scheduled malware scans, login URL changes, and review the alert log every week so real threats get acted on, not buried.
Google Core Web Vitals affect ranking. Unmanaged WordPress sites typically score 30 to 50 on PageSpeed Insights. Sites with proper caching and image optimisation score 80 plus. We install and tune WP Super Cache, optionally connect Cloudflare CDN, optimise images, and get your site out of the SEO danger zone. The performance benefit comes free with the security hygiene.
From subscription to fully secured WordPress in 3 business days
A predictable process so the protection switches on fast and the rhythm settles in.
Day 1
We review your WordPress version, plugin list, theme, current security setup, and host. We collect admin access plus tech-team and DPO contacts so we can reach the right person if anything urgent comes up.
Day 2
Wordfence Premium installed and configured. WP Super Cache installed and tuned. 2FA enabled on admin accounts. Login URL changed. File permissions audited. First full malware scan run. Optional Cloudflare DNS migration completed if you choose it.
Day 3
Full backup taken. WordPress core, plugins, and theme updated to current versions. Post-update tests on key pages (homepage, contact form, checkout if WooCommerce). First weekly update report sent to you.
Every week after
Updates every week (always after backup). Daily login-attempt review. Monthly performance, uptime, and security report on a fixed date. Direct contact with our tech team for anything urgent in between.
What managed WordPress security and updates actually delivers
Numbers from real client sites under our weekly maintenance, compared to typical unmanaged WordPress installations.
Average uptime across managed sites, with weekly updates and instant rollback if anything breaks.
All plugins updated within 7 days of patch release vs. industry average of 60+ days for unmanaged sites.
Average PageSpeed Insights improvement after caching and image optimisation.
Average malicious login or scan attempts blocked per month, per site, by Wordfence Premium.
What people ask before signing up.
This service is prevention, not cleanup. If you were the target of an attack, our service includes identification and analysis, but the actual cleanup (removing malicious code, restoring compromised files, recovering content) is quoted separately on a case-by-case basis. Most cleanup jobs land between 4 and 16 hours of work depending on the depth of the compromise.
Possibly, on any plan. Plugins ship buggy updates sometimes, regardless of how careful the maintainer is. The difference is recovery: every update we apply is preceded by a full backup of files and database, plus post-update tests on key pages. If anything breaks, we roll back within minutes, not hours.
We test on a staging-like copy first when the update is risky (major version jumps, e-commerce or membership plugins, premium themes with custom code). When the test fails, we hold the update, contact the plugin maintainer, and ship the patch when it lands. Until then, we apply targeted security patches if available.
No serious provider can offer that guarantee. Major systems with massive security budgets (banks, government agencies, NASA, FBI) have all been breached. What we guarantee is that your site will run on the latest patched versions, with proper hardening and monitoring, so the typical automated-bot attacks (which represent 99 percent of WordPress threats) will fail or get blocked at the firewall.
Wordfence is the most widely used WordPress security plugin. The free version provides protection with a 30-day delay on threat intelligence, which is not enough for actively targeted sites. Premium provides real-time threat intelligence, advanced country-level IP blocking, real-time IP reputation, two-factor authentication for all roles, and country blocking for the WordPress login page. Included in our service fee.
Yes, every single time. Full file system + database snapshot, kept for 14 days minimum. If a major update is risky we keep the snapshot for 30 days. Backups are stored off-site, so a host-level outage cannot wipe them out.
Every week. Critical security patches are applied within 24 hours of release, even outside the weekly cycle. Major version updates (e.g. WordPress 7 to 8) are tested on a staging copy first and scheduled with you in advance.
Yes, optional and included. We migrate your DNS to Cloudflare, configure the free tier (DDoS protection, global CDN, automatic HTTPS, bot-fight mode), and confirm everything resolves correctly post-migration. Cloudflare's paid tiers are separate.
Yes. WooCommerce sites get extra attention because the checkout cannot be down, the database grows fast, and WooCommerce updates can interact with payment gateway plugins. We test the checkout flow after every update, monitor cart abandonment metrics for sudden changes, and pause auto-updates on payment-critical plugins (we do them manually after a staging test).
Not if it is configured properly. Default Wordfence settings can be slow because every page request goes through the full firewall. We optimise the configuration (cache integration, server-level rules where supported, proper exclusions for static assets) so the security overhead stays under 50 ms per request, well below human perception.
Yes. The service is host-agnostic. We work with all major WordPress hosts (SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, Bluehost, Hostgator, plus most VPS setups). We can also help with the migration itself as a separate one-off service if you are switching hosts at the same time.
