WordPress Maintenance Plan Features
Options for managing all types of WordPress sites.
General
Backups
Full copy of your site, stored in a secure data center.
The frequency of backup copies varies according to your needs so that you can opt for one backup per day or realtime backups. We only back up what has been changed since the last backup in order to reduce the load on your host. The restoration of a backup can be done on request from your staff.
Updates
Install WordPress updates, plugins, and your theme.
We read the changes (changelog) of all updates before applying them. Following the updates, we make sure the website is still fully functional. In the event of a problem, we may restore the backup prior to the update and/or offer you a quote to fix any issues.
Updates must be available through your Dashboard using WordPress’ built-in process.
Monitoring
Periodic monitoring helps us validate that your website is accessible to your visitors.
That your site is always available to your customers and visitors is critical to your business on the internet. For this reason, we can check the availability of your homepage or different pages at different frequencies depending on your needs. All this will allow you to be aware of the availability of your website and to make changes if necessary.
Domain Name Expiration
Even the best website can’t work if you forget to renew your domain name.
That’s why our systems periodically check the expiration date of your domain name and notify us when that expiration approaches.
This way, we can make sure that you renew your domain name and prevent your site from going offline, or even worse, that someone else would buy your domain name.
* Available with select plans only
SSL Certificate Expiration
An expired SSL certificate will prevent your visitors from accessing your site.
Our systems constantly check the expiration date of your SSL certificate and notify us when this expiration is approaching.
Depending on the type of SSL certificate your site uses, we can make sure that it will automatically renew (or not) and save you a lot of trouble.
* Available with select plans only
Monthly Report
Each month, you receive a report of the maintenance work carried out during the previous month.
This report contains the list of all the fixes made to your WordPress site, as well as the results of any analysis carried out according to your chosen plan. This information allows you to see concretely how your site is performing, the points settled and what needs attention.

Security
Security Plugin
The installation of a security plugin complements the security scan and allows additional checks to be made.
The plugin we use is configured not to impact the performance of your site.
It also generates useful information that our systems can receive and add to your monthly reports, in addition to notifying our team in the event of a significant problem.
Security Scan
The security scan validates that files recovered during a backup are not infected.
This regular analysis of your website reduces the risk of security, infection or intrusion by a third party.
As soon as we discover a problem, you are notified immediately, in order to determine the cleanup approach.
Disinfection
No one wants to see their website hacked.
Even if you take every precaution, it’s possible that such an unfortunate situation will occur. We offer to disinfect your site in order to bring it back to the state it was in before the attack and we will then correct the flaw which allowed the intrusion of your website.
* Available with select plans only
Web Application Firewall
A web application firewall identifies and blocks intrusion or login attempts even before the visitor reaches your website.
Our security systems allow the activation of an advanced firewall that will protect your WordPress site by blocking malicious requests from hackers or automated scripts.
Avoiding additional load on your site during these attempts will have a positive impact on the performance of your site, because it will be less solicited.

Performance
Google Search Console
Google Search Console online tool allows you to validate several technical aspects of a website.
Google Search Console tracks different kinds of information about a website such as performance, broken links (404), user experience, and mobile visitor compatibility.
Our team follows up on these different aspects and will be able to advise you in order to correct any problems or opportunities that Google’s tool will bring back.

Image Optimization
Image optimization consists of reducing the size of files in order to improve the loading speed of web pages.
The size of the images used has a direct impact on the weight of a page. By reducing the resolution of images, we reduce their weight and as a result, the images load faster for your visitors.
We use techniques and tools that allow us to reduce the number of image files on your site in addition to reducing their weight, all this without visible difference in terms of quality.

Performance Scan
It’s important to regularly test the performance of a website to ensure that it remains fast to visitors.
Whether it’s to make your visitors happier or so that your SEO is not penalized, the performance of your website is critical to its success.
Performance scans at regular intervals can detect any problems before they impact your visitors’ satisfaction.

Caching Strategy
Caching is the process of speeding up the loading speed of a site using different techniques and tools.
There are several levels of caching (server, WordPress, browser, …) and it is important to act at the right level in order to get the most impact. Unfortunately, it is not enough to add a caching plugin.
Our experts can analyze the performance of a site, the slowdown points as well as your business goals in order to define and configure a caching strategy that meets all the requirements, without affecting the visibility of the content for visitors.
