Why Maintenance Matters

  • WordPress releases security patches every 2-3 weeks — missed updates leave doors open for hackers
  • Plugin conflicts from untested updates cause white screens, broken forms, and lost revenue
  • Database bloat from post revisions and transients slows your site over time
  • Abandoned plugins with known vulnerabilities remain a top attack vector

Our Solution

We handle every update on a staging environment first, run automated visual regression tests, and only push to live after senior engineer approval — during low-traffic windows.
