What is included in website maintenance?

Maintenance packages usually cover WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security backups, and sometimes content updates or technical support hours. Full-service plans extend to uptime monitoring and malware scanning to protect the site against downtime and external threats.  

Some WordPress developers also offer performance optimization and database cleanup to maintain optimal loading speeds and a pleasant user experience. 

What are the most effective website security measures that WordPress developers take?

When putting up a security setup for a new client, WordPress agencies primarily start with strengthening the core and securing the server. To further secure the parameters, they limit access and monitor the site to mitigate common risks like brute force attacks, SQL injections, and malware attacks.  

The most effective website security measures that top WordPress developers undertake include: 

  • Update management: Regularly patching WordPress core, functionalities, themes, and plugins to the latest versions 
  • Secure hosting: Using managed WordPress hosting with server-level security, such as isolated server environments (jailing) and proactive DDoS protection. 
  • SSL/HTTPS everywhere: Forcing HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. 
  • Off-site, automated backups: Implementing daily, automated backups that are stored in an independent location for prompt recovery if the server is compromised. 
  • Removing unused assets: Deleting, rather than just deactivating, unused plugins and themes to reduce the attack surface.
