What's included

Speed optimization

Monthly review of your website's loading performance including load time checks, image compression, caching configuration, and mobile performance. We make targeted improvements each month to keep your site fast and reduce unnecessary page weight.

AI and search optimization

Light monthly improvements to keep your website visible to both search engines and AI-driven tools including Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. This covers page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup review, and making sure your key service pages are clearly formatted for answer-based search results.

Security monitoring and hardening

Daily malware scan monitoring, plugin vulnerability checks, login security review, and basic firewall configuration. We flag suspicious activity, apply security hardening recommendations, and verify your SSL certificate is current. Backed by daily offsite backup with 30-day retention.

Updates and backups

Monthly WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates applied after backup verification. Each update cycle is confirmed post-deployment to catch any compatibility issues before they affect your visitors.

Uptime monitoring

Continuous uptime monitoring with automated alerts if your website goes offline. You are notified within 5 minutes of any detected downtime so the issue can be addressed quickly.

Minor fix support

Small website corrections handled as needed including broken links, image swaps, text corrections, or a quick website question. Minor fix requests are tasks that can be completed in under 30 minutes. Anything beyond that scope is quoted separately.
