WordPress Tune-Ups

Why it’s needed

Modern websites have evolved from the set & forget philosophy and ongoing maintenance is needed for optimal performance. It’s like a car in a way and needs regular servicing to keep everything running smoothly.

At least monthly maintenance is recommended for most websites which is why I offer ongoing plans (details here). For various reasons though, that isn’t always for everyone which is why I still provide this one-off service. That way, you don’t end up going months on end exposing your site to more risk and jeopardising performance.

If you have a simple, info-based website, this is the right package for you. Here’s what is included:

  • Software updates
  • Security & Malware Scan
  • Database optimisation
  • Full backup before and after completion of service (on your server)
  • Report with details of all work completed
Benefits for your website:

Increased protection from possible hacking attempts

Optimal website speed, performance & usability

Backups are done before & after in case there's any issues

Benefits for you:

Peace of mind knowing the tech stuff is sorted

No ongoing plan, a simple one-off service

More time to spend on the things that are important to you

WordPress Tune-Up FAQs

The code that creates WordPress is constantly evolving. So, regular updates and maintenance are required to resolve bug fixes, help to minimise security vulnerabilities and optimise performance. Think of it like your car. Would you not bother to ever get your car serviced, and leave the keys lying around for anyone to take? Of course not! Because you would be significantly increasing your chances of a breakdown or your car being stolen. Website maintenance is similar in that it is a preventative service. People often underestimate the cost of a website going down. For example, say your website is hacked, user privacy is breached, or inappropriate content is placed over yours:
  • What will the cost be to repair or completely rebuild your website?
  • What will your loss of income be while the site is down?
  • And more importantly, what will the damage to your reputation cost you?
If you skip maintenance for a little while, things might be fine. But if they do go pear-shaped, it’s almost always at the worst possible time and can cause immeasurable damage to your business.
Yes! Of course, you can. Keep in mind though:
  • Would you be confident to perform the service?
  • Do you have the time to learn how to do it properly? and;
  • Do you think you will be able to handle any unforeseen problems?
Knowing that your site is being professionally updated & maintained is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Plus, wouldn’t you rather invest your time with your clients, your business, or… yourself!?
Security & malware scanning

I check your website for any malware (software created for malicious purposes) and make sure facilities are in place to reduce vulnerabilities & help prevent issues. Should I happen to find any issues, you will be notified immediately to discuss and resolve them.

Software updates

This includes updating your WordPress core, plugins & themes when new releases become available as well as a compatibility check.

Please Note:

  • We will only update plugins that are compatible with your installed version of WordPress
  • We will only perform theme updates if a child theme is in place
  • As mentioned we will do a compatibility check but it is your responsibility to inform us if you notice that your website is not working properly after updates are performed. Should this occur we will restore your website to how it was before the update (no extra charge).
Database optimisation

Over time, your database (where all your site information & settings are stored) can build up a collection of unneeded data. So optimising your database means faster backups, easier restorations, and improved speed & performance.

Essentially it’s like giving your website a spring clean.

Full website backup

A full backup of your site will be completed both before and after the service is carried out. This way, if we run into any problems (plugin or update conflicts etc.) your site and content will fully protected.

Being a one-off service, the backups will be stored on your server so you will need to ensure that your hosting account has sufficient data space to allow for this.

Of course! If you’re looking to partner up with me to manage ongoing care for your website, you are more than welcome. 

Initially, some changes/updates might have to be made to the backend of your site so I can perform the service adequately, but this will be discussed with you in full.
