Website maintenance service

There are a few reasons to keep your website maintained: SEO — search engines crawl your website regularly; if you update your content frequently, it will indicate to Google & Co that your content is up to date and improve your rankings. Security — all coding languages and software are updated regularly, often patching security vulnerabilities. Stability — running different plugins can cause conflicts when updating; updates should be monitored and tested. Performance — keeping your code base lean and cleaning up the database is crucial to passing Core Web Vitals.

WordPress core, plugins, and themes should be reviewed and updated at least monthly. Security patches should be applied immediately when released. Content updates — blog posts, service page changes, new case studies — should ideally happen weekly or fortnightly to signal freshness to search engines.

My maintenance service covers plugin and core updates, database optimisation, security monitoring, uptime checks, performance reviews, content updates, and regular backups. The exact scope depends on your chosen package — get in touch for a breakdown.
