WordPress maintenance: monitoring, backups and safe updates
Most crashes happen after an update nobody knows about, or are only discovered when a customer complains. Regular check-ups catch a problem before your visitors see it.
What's included
- Uptime, response time and certificate check every 5 minutes
- Instant outage alerts
- Weekly check of pages, cart and checkout
- Backups, and updates with a backup and rollback option
- Small fixes and tweaks included (in the Care plan)

A single store crash in peak season costs more than a year of maintenance. Above all, you know someone is looking after your site and that updates aren't done blindly.
