WordPress maintenance
Maintenance work and maintenance contract
WordPress is one of the most used content management systems in the world and is inherently secure. However, due to its high distribution, WordPress is also specifically in the focus of attacks and hacker attacks. As a rule, known security vulnerabilities are promptly closed by WordPress core developers as well as plugin developers. However, this security through fast updates can only be effective if you also regularly install updates for your website and keep an eye on possible WordPress security vulnerabilities.
As soon as you miss current updates or do not install them in time, there is an increased risk for your WordPress installation. It can quickly happen that known security vulnerabilities are actively exploited and your website is attacked due to the not yet installed updates.
We not only take care of the updates of your website, but also a complete maintenance concept including daily cloud backups, security scans, performance and uptime monitoring as well as many other services.
If you are more of a do-it-yourself type and want to apply your updates yourself, our monitoring package is the right one for you. We create regular backups for you and keep you up to date about possible security issues.

FAQ - frequently asked questions and details about the service
Below you will find more details about our WordPress maintenance contracts as well as information on common questions. If you have any further questions or would like advice on an individual offer, please feel free to contact us:
Do the maintenance packages apply to each website regardless of its size?
We try to cover with the standardized packages the average WordPress company presences, blogs or WooCommerce stores. However, due to the individuality and also possible complexity of each website, we cannot offer the packages for every WordPress website without exception.
As part of your request, we will check your website and the installed plugins. If it turns out that we cannot offer you sufficient maintenance at the standard package prices, we will submit you an individual offer.
Does a maintenance contract apply to multiple websites?
No, separate maintenance contracts must be concluded for each WordPress installation. Multisite systems are also excluded from the standard packages and require an individual request.
How often are updates performed?
We perform the updates in the runtime packages once a month or step in and update your site as part of Proactive Protection.
What is meant by "repair"?
If there are any compatibility issues or errors on your site after updating a plugin, theme or WordPress version, we will fix them for a fee at the agreed hourly rate.
What does OnPage monitoring involve?
A detailed OnPage analysis is the cornerstone for good rankings on Google & Co. We monitor your website regularly with the help of automated crawlers and inform you once every 3 months if there should be errors or problems on your website that could limit your ranking or the quality of the website. This includes many ranking-relevant factors such as incorrectly placed headlines, errors in the meta information, duplicate content, URLs that are not found (404), performance data and much more.
We will also be happy to support you in correcting the errors found and will submit an individual offer for this purpose if you do not wish to correct the errors yourself. The basis of the offer is the agreed hourly rate.
What questions are answered by support?
We will answer general questions about WordPress and as far as we can, questions about your theme and the plugins you use as part of our support. You can find more information in the WordPress Support section.
What counts as editorial work?
As editorial work we evaluate the support with the content maintenance of your web page: Input of given texts (no text creation) or pictures.
What does "Proactive Protection" mean?
If we become aware of a potential threat to WordPress websites, e.g. through the current news situation or other sources, we would apply appropriate updates to your website as soon as possible if available.
Is the maintenance contract a security guarantee against hackers or attacks?
Regular updates and maintenance significantly reduce the risk of a hack or other misuse of your website. Nevertheless, we cannot give a guarantee against hacks, malware infestation or other attacks.
The security of a WordPress website is based on several factors, of which regular maintenance is only a part. If you have any further questions about this topic feel free to contact us directly.
What are the payment terms and which payment method is possible?
The lump-sum remuneration of the maintenance contracts is invoiced for 3 months in advance in each case. If additional costs arise due to repair work or other services, these will be invoiced at the end of the month.
You can transfer your invoices or have them conveniently collected by SEPA direct debit.
If you are interested in a monthly payment method, this is also possible for a small surcharge.
What access data is required?
In order to be able to react as quickly as possible in an emergency, it is important that we have all the relevant access data right from the start. This includes, for example, the following data:
- WordPress administrator access
- (S)FTP access
- SSH access (if available)
- Access data to the MySQL database and PhpMyAdmin
- Access to the web hoster's panel if required
Are paid or premium plugins also updated?
If you use paid premium plugins on your website, the license costs are not part of the maintenance flat rate. We can gladly extend the plugin licenses for you and then add the corresponding license costs or you book the licenses yourself and provide us with the corresponding data.
In some cases, we already have developer or agency licenses for certain plugins, so we can renew your premium plugins at lower rates or even for free.
Are updates first checked in advance in a test environment?
If this has not been agreed as part of an individual maintenance contract, updates are installed directly on the live page. If problems occur, a restore can be carried out using a previously created backup or a repair can be carried out for a fee.
Do I have to change my web host for the maintenance service?
No, we maintain your website on your existing webspace. If this is not ideal for your WordPress website, we will be happy to advise you in this regard. In principle, however, you can stay with your current web host, a move is not necessary.
Is the website offline during the updates?
Where and how long are the backups stored?
We store the backups of your website on an external service to be able to keep the data even if there are problems with your server. The backups are stored in an Amazon AWS S3 bucket in Ireland (Europe).
Backups are created incrementally and backed up for 30 days. If necessary, we can restore your website with a few clicks.
What is performance monitoring?
We regularly monitor the current performance of your website. This allows you to regularly track whether, for example, changes to the website or updates change the performance.
What is Uptime Monitoring?
We monitor if your site is down, e.g. due to overloads, server failures or other problems. Without uptime monitoring it is usually not possible to detect if a page is down in the meantime.
Keyword Monitoring, what is it?
Tell us the most important keywords for your website and we will monitor your ranking for these keywords. You will receive weekly or monthly reports about your keyword ranking on request.
A maximum of 100 keywords per website are monitored and evaluated.
