What Is WordPress Maintenance?

WordPress maintenance is the ongoing process of keeping your website updated, protected, and performing at its best.

A professional care plan ensures your site is:

  • Secure – with regular updates and security scans
  • Reliable – backed up and monitored daily
  • Optimised – for speed, performance, and SEO health

At QED, our plans are designed for small businesses and creative professionals who want peace of mind and expert support without unnecessary complexity.


Why WordPress Maintenance Matters

How Does WordPress Maintenance Improve Security?

WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS, and also the most targeted by hackers. In 2024, WordPress sites faced thousands of automated attacks per day. Regular updates, security scans, and managed backups prevent most breaches before they happen. Our monitoring tools detect vulnerabilities early, and our same-day response ensures any issue is handled fast.

How Does Maintenance Keep Your Site Fast?

Performance directly affects user experience and search rankings. We optimise for Core Web Vitals, clear outdated cache and database files, and fix issues that slow down your site. A well-maintained WordPress site loads faster, keeps visitors longer, and converts better.

Why Reliability Saves You Money

A single day of downtime can cost a small business hundreds in lost revenue. Our uptime monitoring and automated backups keep your website live and recoverable, saving you from costly emergency fixes later.
