A WordPress site that hasn't been touched in six months isn't "stable" — it's a security incident waiting to happen. Outdated core files, abandoned plugins and theme conflicts are the single biggest reason small business websites get hacked, defaced or knocked offline across Durham Region.
Our WordPress maintenance service is the opposite of "set it and forget it." We update, test, monitor and patch every site on a strict schedule so issues are caught and fixed before your customers ever see them.
Keep Your Site Secure & Fast
The four pillars of a healthy WordPress site — handled monthly, every month.
Core WordPress Updates
Staged WordPress core updates tested in a sandbox before going live — never breaking your homepage on a Friday afternoon.
Plugin Compatibility Checks
Every plugin update is reviewed for conflicts, deprecated code and abandonment risk — so your stack stays lean and compatible.
Elementor Optimization
Elementor builder cleanup, CSS purging and asset deferral so your pages load in under 2.5 seconds on mobile.
Vulnerability Patching
Continuous CVE monitoring and same-day patching when high-severity WordPress or plugin vulnerabilities are disclosed.
The Real Cost of Outdated Plugins
Why proactive maintenance always costs less than reactive recovery.
Downtime Risk
A single bad plugin update can take a Whitby contractor's lead-gen site offline for days during peak season.
Hacks & Defacement
Outdated installs are the #1 entry point for malware — and Google blacklists infected sites within 24 hours.
SEO Decay
Slow, error-throwing pages quietly lose rankings in Ajax and Pickering local search before you ever notice.
What's Included Every Single Month
A repeatable, documented maintenance routine — not a vague promise of 'we'll check on it.'
Uptime & Performance Monitoring
24/7 uptime monitors plus monthly Core Web Vitals reports so you see exactly how the site is performing for real users.
Malware Scans & Firewall Rules
Daily malware scans, edge firewall rules tuned for WordPress, and brute-force login protection on every site.
Database Optimization
Routine wp_options cleanup, transient pruning and revision purging to keep your database lean and responsive.
