Keeping your WordPress Core, Themes and Plugins updated means you have the latest security patches in place, helping to protect your site from malicious attacks. Read more about WordPress Security in this post.

Performance

Any active site is currently being updated with new images and content. The way that you add those elements have an impact on load time that will often go unnoticed unless you’re regularly checking. With monthly Performance reports, you’ll always know exactly how your site is performing.

Visibility

With a monthly Website Care report, you can see–at a glance–everything that was done to your site that month, and how it’s doing in major categories such as performance, security, uptime,  and analytics.

Maintenance Plans

WordPress has an active community of developers constantly improving it. Another strength is the number of plugins and themes available. In order to continue to get the most out of your site, and insure that it’s running smoothly it needs to be updated. Indevver can take care of WordPress Maintenance for you. While we’re at it we’ll check for other critical things like page speed and security and reach out if we see any problems.

A WordPress Maintenance Package

A WordPress maintenance package for your website means you get peace of mind. Your site will always have the most up-to-date WordPress core files, themes, and plugins.

Can’t I do it on my own?

WordPress is increasingly becoming a stable and user friendly platform for non-developers to manage. If you have the time and discipline to keep your site up-to-date then 9 times out of 10 you should be fine. With our maintenance packages we make sure that it happens weekly, and that it’s successful 10 time out of 10. We have to tools, expertise and systems to make sure it happens right every time.
