Developer managed WordPress website maintenance & plugin updates.
Keeping WordPress’ core and plugins updated is one of the most important tasks for ensuring your website stays secure. The vast majority of vulnerabilities occur thanks to exploits found within out of date plugins.
A compromised website can lead to a lot of expensive damage such as downtime, negative publicity, loss of trust with your customer base, pages redirecting to scammy websites, content being stuffed with malicious content, and other performance problems. All of these things can also lead to your website being marked as malicious on search engines, which can be very difficult to recover from.
It doesn’t require too much professional help to host a WordPress website on a provider like WP Engine and enable auto updates, though you’ll be missing out on some key support, and run the risk of causing downtime due to a plugin conflict or some other issue that you may not even be aware of occurring. WordPress or plugin updates can often introduce their own bugs, which is why it’s important to have a developer vet everything.
The benefits of a WP Haven maintenance plan:
- Handled by a professional web developer with intimate WordPress experience
- Weekly updates to WordPress core and plugins
- Updates performed first on a separate environment, then verified for stability before everything gets pushed live so that there’s no risk of downtime
- All updates recorded and managed through a Git file versioning system, allowing us to easily cherry pick and rollback any potential issues
- Dashboard access to our proprietary maintenance system which gives you transparency into the work we’re doing
Stay cutting edge by keeping PHP updated.
One of the other key differentiators of our updates is that we keep your website on the latest version of PHP that can be supported by your plugins and theme, and will audit and recommend replacements for anything that is holding your website back from this upgrade. PHP is the coding language that WordPress is built on, and letting it get out of date introduces more security problems to your website. New versions of PHP also regularly provide huge performance improvements, like faster loading times.
