FAQ
Do I really need WordPress maintenance if my website is working now?
Yes. A website can appear fine while hidden risks are building up. Outdated plugins, weak backups, and unpatched vulnerabilities may only become visible after something breaks or gets compromised.
Will you update all plugins automatically?
Updates should be handled carefully. Some plugin updates may affect website layout or functionality. We support updates with appropriate checks based on the agreed service scope.
Do you provide backups?
We help configure, review, and support backup processes. Backup storage, frequency, and retention depend on your website setup and selected tools.
Can this service guarantee that my website will never be hacked?
No responsible provider should guarantee that. However, regular maintenance, updates, backups, and security best practices can significantly reduce risk.
Is malware removal included?
Basic security support may be included, but advanced malware removal, deep forensic cleanup, blacklist removal, or full restoration after severe compromise may require a separate quotation.
Is this suitable for WooCommerce websites?
Yes, but WooCommerce websites usually require more careful support because they involve transactions, products, payments, orders, and customer data. Scope should be reviewed before confirmation.
