WP Maintenance Agency The WordPress maintenance agency that runs your site like production, not an afterthought.
Weekly monitored updates with instant rollback, daily backups, hardened security, and an experienced engineer assigned to your account. One team, one monthly report, no ticket-queue roulette.
What does a WordPress maintenance agency actually do?
We run four distinct services, priced separately so the scope is never fuzzy. Ongoing maintenance is a subscription. Emergency fixes, speed work, and white-label are priced per project or as add-ons.
Maintenance Plans
Monthly subscription: weekly plugin and core updates with pre-update snapshots and instant rollback, daily offsite backups, uptime and security monitoring, and an experienced engineer assigned to your account.
See maintenance plans →Emergency Fixes
One-time, project-based. Hacked site cleanup, malware removal, white-screen recovery, plugin conflicts. Priced per incident; no plan required to engage us.
See emergency fix service →Speed and Core Web Vitals
Project-based performance work. LCP, INP, and CLS tuning with before-and-after measurements. Sold as a fixed-scope project or an add-on to a maintenance plan, never silently bundled in.
See speed optimization →White Label for Agencies
We do the maintenance work; your clients see your brand. Dedicated Slack channel, branded monthly reports, and multi-site pricing for agencies managing 5+ sites.
See white label details →What makes a good WordPress maintenance agency different?
A good agency treats your WordPress site like production software: monitored changes, logged actions, predictable costs. Most providers treat it like a bulk update job. Here are the three things cheap providers get wrong.
No rollback plan, no monitoring.
They click Update All on your live site and hope nothing breaks. When it does, they blame the plugin developer. We snapshot before every update and roll back in seconds if anything goes wrong.
Report cards instead of progress.
Their monthly report says 12 plugins updated and nothing else. Ours tells you what was tested, what broke, what we rolled back, and what is at risk next month.
Hidden scope, inflated plans.
They advertise malware removal and Core Web Vitals tuning as included, then quote extra when you actually need them. We price emergency fixes and speed work separately so you know what you are paying for.
How do you keep WordPress updates from breaking the live site?
Every plugin, theme, and core update is preceded by a full-site snapshot. We monitor for visual regressions and functional errors immediately after each update. If anything breaks, we roll back in under 60 seconds — your visitors never see it.
Pre-update snapshots, every time.
Before any update touches your site, we capture a full snapshot: database, files, and configuration. If the update causes any issue, we restore to the exact pre-update state instantly.
Rollback in under 60 seconds.
Every update keeps a deployment snapshot. If anything goes wrong, one click reverses the change. No database restore, no maintenance mode, no panic.
What is in a WordPress maintenance report?
A useful maintenance report tells you what shipped, what failed, and what you should worry about next, in plain English. Ours runs the first of every month and never includes filler metrics or generic security-score gauges.
What shipped this month.
Every plugin updated, every fix deployed, every test that passed or failed. Timestamps, version numbers, and verification notes for each change.
What is at risk next.
Plugins approaching end-of-life, PHP compatibility concerns, performance regressions we are watching, and a ranked list of what we recommend fixing first.
