Website Backups
All WordPress maintenance service client websites are backed up nightly to protect against unforeseen problems that may arise – guaranteeing that even in the event of disaster, your website will be back online as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Daily “Safe” Updates
There are times when WordPress plugins or themes are updated that the update can fail and leave your website broken. “Safe” updates involve making a backup of your site before the updates are applied. This way, if something fails during the update that causes the site to break, the site can be immediately returned to its previous working state.

Spam Removal
You don’t need to worry about monitoring and removing comment spam your website’s posts. All WordPress maintenance service clients receive spam monitoring and removal as part of their service.

Database Maintenance
The more your WordPress website grows, the more that its MySQL database will grow with it – potentially causing your site’s performance to suffer. Regular maintenance (removing old post revisions and database optimizations) will help keep your website running at its best.

Uptime Monitoring
Maintenance Plus and Premium package client websites are monitored continuously to ensure they’re operating at all times. Website status is checked every 5 minutes. If the site is found to be “down” the system will wait 5 minutes and check the site status again to see if the problem has been resolved before sending out notification emails that the site is offline. For clients who desire it, the scanning interval can be reduced to every minute with zero delay in notification – though I generally recommend against such a change as this can generate false positives.

Security Hardening
WordPress maintenance Plus and Premium service client sites that don’t have any form of website security will be setup with a web application firewall, configured to prevent brute force attacks against your WordPress user accounts, and if desired have a free Cloudflare account setup and configured.

Malware Scans
All WordPress maintenance service client websites are scanned regularly for malware and are monitored for vulnerabilities introduced through WordPress plugins and whether the sites are blacklisted by one of the various services that warn others that sites could be spreading malware. Maintenance Plus client websites are scanned weekly and Maintenance Premium client sites are scanned daily.

Discounts on Services
WordPress maintenance service clients receive discounted rates on other services. For example: if you request a “Speedy Solution” which normally costs $40 (US), but you get a 10% discount because you are a Maintenance Premium customer, your service instead will cost $36 (US).
