WordPress Maintenance Checklist for Business Owners
Updates, backups, security and uptime monitoring — what should happen monthly on a business WordPress site.
WordPress is powerful but not set-and-forget. Unpatched plugins are one of the most common ways business sites get compromised.
- Core, theme and plugin updates on a schedule
- Daily backups with tested restore
- SSL, firewall and malware scanning
- Uptime monitoring with alerts
- Staging environment for risky changes
We maintain WordPress sites on our managed hosting and build custom functionality via plugins & integrations.
