WordPress Maintenance, Security & Speed Optimization
I keep your site updated, backed up, secure and quick to load.
What's included
- Plugin, theme and core updates with post-update fixes
- Cloudflare, SSL and DNS setup
- Backups, malware cleanup and performance tuning
Updates that don't break your site
Outdated plugins are the most common way WordPress sites get hacked, but blind updates can break a page. I update plugins, themes and WordPress core on a schedule, check the important pages afterwards and fix anything that moved. If something goes wrong, I roll back from a backup.
Security and backups you can trust
I set up Cloudflare, SSL and DNS correctly, tighten login and file permissions, and run backups that are stored away from your server. If a site is already hacked, I clean the malware, close the hole and put protection in place so it stays clean.
A faster site for visitors and Google
I find what is slowing your site down: heavy images, too many plugins, slow hosting or database bloat. Then I fix it with caching, image optimization and cleanup. Faster pages keep visitors on your site and help your Core Web Vitals scores.
How it works
Site health check
I review plugins, themes, backups, security settings and speed, and send you a plain-English report.
Fix the urgent items
Security holes, failed backups and broken pages come first.
Set up monitoring
Backups, uptime checks and update schedules run in the background.
Monthly care
Each month I update, test, tune and report on what changed.

Frequently asked questions
How often should WordPress be updated?
Security updates should be applied within a few days of release, and other updates at least monthly. A maintenance plan takes that off your plate.
My WordPress site was hacked. Can you clean it up?
Yes. I remove the malware, find how it got in, update and harden the site, and set up protection to keep it from happening again.
Can you make my slow WordPress site faster?
Almost always. I start with a speed audit to find the biggest causes, then fix them in order of impact and show you the before and after results.
Do I need a monthly plan, or can I pay for a one-off fix?
Either works. One-off fixes and speed or security cleanups are available, and monthly maintenance is better if you want ongoing peace of mind.
