Monthly WordPress maintenance packages and support plans for business websites that need dependable updates, backups, security monitoring, performance checks, and priority technical help. WildPress keeps your site looked after so it stays reliable while your team focuses on running the business.
The core work is practical WordPress maintenance: updates, backups, monitoring, security checks, support requests, and the small improvements that keep a business website useful month by month.
Monthly maintenance
Updates, backups, monitoring, and support
A monthly WordPress maintenance package keeps the essentials under control: core updates, plugin updates, theme updates, backup checks, uptime monitoring, security checks, and support time when something on the site needs attention.
Core, plugin, and theme updates Uptime and security monitoring Included support time
Technical support
Troubleshooting from someone who knows the site
Each supported site has notes on its setup, critical workflows, plugins, hosting, forms, checkout flows, and known quirks. On higher tiers, important flows can be checked with automated browser tests so issues are easier to spot before they become client-facing problems.
Site-specific support notes Critical flow checks Priority support route
Risk control
Safer updates and recoverable backups
Backups should not rely on one system. Alongside host-level backups, plans can include hourly database backups and off-site storage on a separate service, giving extra protection if hosting backups are unavailable, corrupted, or affected by a security incident.
Hourly database backups Off-site redundancy Restore route where needed
Ongoing development
Small improvements without starting from scratch
The aim is to understand how your business uses the website, not just keep WordPress patched. Higher-level plans give room for practical improvements, technical advice, analytics questions, forms, tracking, integrations, automations, and workflow support.
Business-aware advice Workflow improvements Automation support
Beyond routine updates
A more useful website month by month
For sites that support enquiries, sales, campaigns, publishing, or internal processes, maintenance is only the baseline. The more useful work is reviewing data, spotting friction, suggesting improvements, and connecting the site more tightly to the way the business operates.

Monthly checklist
See the checks behind the support work
The WordPress maintenance checklist shows what gets reviewed each month, including updates, backups, security, uptime, forms, performance, SEO, content checks, reporting, and next-step recommendations.
Each plan includes the core WordPress maintenance a business website needs. The difference is how actively WildPress monitors, improves, and supports the site month by month.

What is included in a WordPress maintenance package each month?
A WordPress maintenance package usually includes core updates, plugin and theme updates, uptime monitoring, backup checks, security monitoring, performance checks, and ongoing technical support. The exact level of cover depends on the plan and how important the site is to your business.
How much does monthly WordPress maintenance cost?
WildPress maintenance packages start from £97 per month for essential maintenance, with more active support plans at £247 and £497 per month. The right level depends on how important the website is to enquiries, sales, bookings, subscriptions, publishing, or internal workflows.
Are urgent issues covered under monthly support?
Yes. Support plans include priority support and a faster response path for critical issues. If your website is down, broken after an update, or affecting enquiries or sales, it is treated differently from routine maintenance.
Can you take over support for an existing website?
Yes. We can take over support for an existing WordPress website after an initial review of hosting, plugins, themes, backups, access, and current risks. If the site has technical debt, we will separate essential stabilisation work from normal monthly care.
Do you include WordPress hosting?
Hosting can be included or managed separately. Some clients keep their existing hosting while WildPress handles maintenance and support. Others move to a managed setup where hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and technical support are handled together.
What is the difference between WordPress maintenance and support?
Maintenance usually means keeping WordPress, plugins, themes, backups, and security checks under control. Support adds a more useful working relationship around that maintenance, including priority help, issue diagnosis, advice, and small improvements when the site needs attention.
Do you support WooCommerce websites?
Yes. WooCommerce sites can be covered by a support plan, but they usually need more careful update checks because checkout, payment, subscription, stock, and email workflows are more business-critical than a simple brochure site.
Do you offer WordPress support plans for small businesses?
Yes. WildPress support plans are designed for small businesses that need practical WordPress help without hiring an in-house developer. Plans can cover routine maintenance, small site requests, technical troubleshooting, performance checks, and ongoing improvement work.
Is a monthly support plan worth it for a small business website?
If your website supports enquiries, sales, bookings, subscriptions, campaigns, or customer trust, a monthly support plan is usually worth considering. It reduces the risk of neglected updates, broken forms, missed security issues, and slow recovery when something goes wrong.

Key Info
Access and Maintenance
WP-CLI, SSH, and SFTP access make maintenance safer and faster because updates, checks, file review, and recovery work do not depend only on the WordPress admin screen.
Monitoring and Debugging
Uptime Kuma can monitor availability, Sentry can help surface application errors, and Umami can provide lightweight analytics and session recording where behaviour needs closer review.
Quality Control
Playwright can be used for recurring checks of critical flows such as forms, login paths, checkout journeys, and key conversion pages on higher support tiers.
Security and Recovery
Wordfence, custom hardening plugins, off-site backups, and documented recovery routes help reduce risk and make it easier to respond when something changes unexpectedly.
Jurisdiction and Tooling
Where practical, we prefer open-source tools or services based closer to the same jurisdiction, such as EU-friendly infrastructure and CDN options like bunny.net. The final setup still depends on the hosting provider, compliance needs, and what is already in place.
Caching and Performance
Object caching, Varnish caching, CDN configuration, and image optimisation can be included where the hosting environment supports them. The exact caching stack depends on the provider and the risk profile of the site.
Crawl and Search Checks
Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights help identify broken links, metadata issues, indexation problems, redirects, performance regressions, and technical Search Engine Optimization: technical and content improvements that increase visibility in search results. opportunities.
