  • Updates tested on staging
  • Daily off-site backups
  • Monthly plans, no lock-in

Introduction

WordPress Maintenance at EIT Connect

EIT Connect's WordPress maintenance services keep your site secure, fast and working, without you having to think about it. WordPress updates itself for minor security releases, but plugins, themes, major versions, PHP, backups and forms all need someone paying attention. Most WordPress problems start small: an outdated plugin, a contact form that quietly stopped sending, a backup nobody has tested. We catch those early, apply every update on a staging copy first, and only publish when we've checked nothing broke.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What do WordPress maintenance services include?

WordPress maintenance services usually cover core, plugin and theme updates, daily backups, security monitoring and hardening, uptime and speed monitoring, plugin audits, form and email checks, PHP and database health, small content changes and a monthly report.

WordPress updates itself, so why do I need maintenance?

WordPress applies minor security updates automatically, but plugins, themes, major versions and PHP still need managing, and updates can conflict with each other. Maintenance also covers backups, security, forms, speed and fixes, which automatic updates don't handle.

How much do WordPress maintenance packages cost?

Cost depends on the type of site, how often updates run, how many edit hours you need and response times. A small business site costs less than a WooCommerce store or membership site. We offer monthly plans with no lock-in and share a quote after a free site health check.

How often do you update plugins and themes?

That depends on your plan, from monthly to weekly, plus immediate updates when a serious security fix is released. Every update is tested on staging before it goes live.

What if an update breaks my site?

Because updates are tested on staging first, problems are usually caught before they reach your live site. If something does slip through, we roll back to the last working version and fix the conflict.

What happens if my site gets hacked?

Security monitoring is designed to spot problems early. If a site is compromised, we clean it, close the entry point, restore from a clean backup if needed and request removal from any blacklists. Emergency clean-up is also available for sites not on a plan.

Do you maintain WooCommerce stores?

Yes. WooCommerce sites get extra checks around checkout, payments, orders and stock after every update, with priority response on higher plans.

How do I choose the best WordPress maintenance services?

Choose a provider that tests updates on staging, tests backup restores, monitors forms and email as well as uptime, reports clearly every month and offers plans without long-term lock-in. Ideally they build WordPress sites too, so fixes are done properly.
