Most WordPress sites are quietly rotting. Yours doesn't have to.

Bloated databases, bot floods, missed updates: decay you don't see until sales drop. We maintain WordPress like infrastructure: monitored, measured, and reported to you monthly.

The 276,000-row problem

A retail store came to us slow and getting slower. The cause wasn't the theme or the hosting. It was an options table that had grown to 276,000 autoloaded rows, loaded from the database on every visit, for every visitor.

We cleaned it to 1,796 rows, enabled object caching, and put bot traffic behind a firewall challenge. The store didn't change. The infrastructure under it did.

INCIDENT LOG · SITES IN CARE ● UPDATED MONTHLY
2026·07·24 6,500+ bot accounts purged from a WooCommerce store Fake customer registrations had been accumulating for months through an open registration endpoint on a camera and broadcast equipment retailer we have maintained since 2016. We purged 6,500+ accounts, then closed the door behind them: a registration honeypot, rate limiting on the register endpoint, and edge challenges on the signup form. Deleting the accounts is the easy half. Stopping the refill is the job. RESOLVED
2026·07·17 WP2Shell patched across every site in care, inside 24 hours A pre-authentication remote code execution chain in WordPress core (CVE-2026-63030 with CVE-2026-60137) was disclosed on 17 July. It needs no plugins and no login: a stock install is enough. Every site under our care was verified patched to 6.9.5 or 7.0.2 within a day, ahead of the mass scanning wave that followed the public exploit. Sites without maintenance found out from their customers. RESOLVED
2026·06 276,000 autoloaded rows cleaned to 1,796 A retail store was slow and getting slower. Not the theme, not the host: an options table that had grown to 276,000 autoloaded rows, read from the database on every visit by every visitor. Cleaned to 1,796 rows, object caching enabled, bot traffic challenged at the edge. The storefront did not change. Everything underneath it did. RESOLVED
2026·05 Backup restore rehearsal on a live store, no downtime A backup nobody has restored is a hope, not a backup. We rebuilt a full WooCommerce store from its off-site backup onto staging, verified order data and product variations survived intact, timed the whole restore, and wrote the number into the client's report. Quarterly, on every site, whether anything is wrong or not. RESOLVED

Your site has its own version of this log. Nobody has written it down yet. The audit that starts it is free.

Most of your traffic isn't human. We make it queue.

Scrapers, brute-force login bots, fake registrations, card-testing scripts. On an unprotected store they walk straight in, and you pay for every request they make. We put a checkpoint in front of the door.

The window between disclosure and patch is where sites die.

When a critical CVE lands, the clock starts for everyone at once. Public exploit code follows within days, then automated scanning finds every unpatched host on the internet. The only variable is whether somebody is watching on your behalf.

Field notes from the runbook.

Shorter wins from other WordPress and WooCommerce sites we maintain. Numbers are real, sites are anonymized. Every one of them started with a free health audit like the one at the bottom of this page.

WooCommerce · Checkout speed

Slow checkout was leaking sales, not scaring off traffic.

4.8s → 1.9sLargest Contentful Paint, checkout page

A 90-product store blamed marketing for a drop in conversion. The real cause was a checkout LCP of nearly five seconds, mostly render-blocking third-party scripts and an uncached mini-cart fragment. After deferring non-essential scripts and adding page-level object caching, checkout completions moved up meaningfully in the next month's report.

Publisher · Database & TTFB

A news site whose editors thought "WordPress is slow" was normal.

890ms → 210msTime To First Byte, article pages

Object caching was disabled, transients had piled up, and the search index was rebuilding on every publish. We enabled Redis at the hosting layer, purged 41,000 orphaned transients, and moved the index rebuild to a nightly job. TTFB fell to a quarter of what it was, and the editors stopped complaining that publishing "took forever."

62% of the traffic wasn't traffic. It was scraping and login probes.

62% → challengedNon-human traffic filtered at the edge

A SaaS marketing site's analytics showed suspicious admin-login requests every few seconds. Cloudflare managed challenges, WAF rules for xmlrpc.php and wp-login.php, and rate-limits on the REST API cut the noise. Origin CPU load fell by roughly half, and the WordPress security scanner stopped alerting on failed brute-force attempts.

6,500+ → purgedBot registrations removed in one pass

Open registration on a store selling camera and broadcast gear had quietly filled the user table with bot signups, slowing every admin query and poisoning the customer count. We removed them in a single pass, then closed the door: a registration honeypot, rate limits on the signup endpoint, and an edge challenge. Deleting them is the easy half. Stopping the refill is the work.

Edge · Rate limiting

Login and checkout are the two doors attackers actually knock on.

unlimited → 5/minRate limit on auth & critical paths

Brute-force and card-testing scripts hammer wp-login.php, the REST API, and the checkout endpoint because they're the doors that matter. We put Cloudflare rate limits and managed challenges in front of exactly those paths, so a human signing in never notices and a script trying five thousand passwords a minute gets shown the door at the edge, before it ever reaches your origin.

When someone asks an AI about your industry, is your site the source?

unstructured → quotableMade machine-readable for answer engines

Search increasingly ends inside an AI answer, not on a results page. We structure a site so it can be cited: schema markup on every entity, an llms.txt for the crawlers that read it, and answer-first content an engine can lift a clean sentence from. It's the same discipline as SEO, aimed at the place the next decade of traffic actually starts.

One store. Ten years. Still ours to keep.

A Mumbai retailer selling camera and broadcast equipment. We built the WooCommerce store in 2016. It ranked well enough that competitors came looking for whoever made it, which is how a good number of our clients found us. A decade later it is still in our care: the spam purge at the top of this page was their site, this month.

2016Built and launched on WordPress and WooCommerce. Camera and broadcast equipment, hundreds of SKUs, technical buyers.

Maintenance is not a plugin you install. It is a practice. Backups tested, not assumed. Databases pruned before they swell. Patches applied the week they ship. Every month, in writing, with numbers.

What we run for you, every month.

The same playbook that produced the numbers above, run on your site on a schedule, with a report you can read in two minutes.

  • Database optimization

    Autoload cleanup, expired transients, orphaned tables, revision pruning. Invisible bloat, removed every month.

  • Security & bot defense

    Firewall rules, login hardening, malware scans, edge challenges. Most "slow WordPress" is unfiltered bot traffic.

    WAF + edge · continuous

  • Speed & caching

    Object cache, page cache, image and asset tuning. Speed is a checkout-conversion feature, not a vanity score.

    redis + cdn · tuned quarterly

  • Updates, backups & uptime

    Staged plugin and core updates, off-site backups with tested restores, and 24/7 monitoring that pages us, not you.

Fair questions.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We think a retainer should be re-earned every month by the report we send you, not enforced by a contract.

What access do you need, and is it safe?

An administrator account and hosting access, credentialed to us individually, never shared logins. Every change we make is logged in your monthly report. Backups run before any structural change, and restores are tested, not assumed.

My site is already broken or hacked. Can you still take it?

Yes. That's what the fix-and-harden month is for. The free audit will tell you honestly how deep the damage goes and what the first month will involve before you pay anything.

What's not included?

Redesigns, new feature development, and content writing. If you need those, we'll quote them separately; the retainer stays focused on keeping the site fast, secure, and online.

Are those numbers on this page real?

Yes: measured on client sites we maintain, anonymized for their privacy. Your audit report will show your site's numbers in the same format, and your monthly reports will track them over time.

How is WordPress maintenance different from what my hosting provider gives me?

Hosting keeps the server running. Maintenance keeps the site running. Your host will not audit your plugins, prune your database, tune your caching layer, or read your access logs for bot patterns. Those are the jobs a WordPress maintenance retainer covers, on a schedule, with a report.

My site seems fine. Do I really need a maintenance plan?

"Fine" usually means "no visible outage yet." Meanwhile the database is growing, cron jobs are silently failing, and a plugin update from last quarter has quietly broken a form nobody has tested. A free health audit will tell you honestly whether your site actually needs a retainer, or whether a one-time cleanup is enough.

Do you work with WooCommerce stores specifically?

Yes. WooCommerce is where most of our speed and database work happens, because carts, sessions, and product variations create the exact kind of load that WordPress core was not designed to handle at scale. Checkout LCP, product-page TTFB, and abandoned-cart recovery are all inside the standard retainer.

How fast do you respond when something breaks?

Care and Performance tiers respond within one business day. Managed tier includes proactive uptime monitoring, so most incidents are opened by us before you see them. Recovery targets are written into each tier's scope, not left to interpretation.

How often do you back up the site, and where are the backups stored?

Daily full backups, offsite in a separate region from your hosting, with a rolling 30-day retention on all tiers. Restore is tested quarterly on staging so the backup is proven, not just present. That test is part of your monthly report.

Do you handle plugin and WordPress core updates, or is that on me?

We handle them, on staging first, with visual regression and functional smoke tests before anything lands on production. Every update, every version bump, and every rollback (if one is needed) is logged in your monthly report so nothing changes on your site without a paper trail.

What happens when spam users or fake orders pile up?

We audit users and orders monthly. When bots slip through, we purge the accounts and then close the entry point behind them: rate limits on the registration endpoint, honeypots, and edge challenges on signup forms. In July 2026 that meant removing 6,500+ fake accounts from one store in a single pass. Deleting them is the easy half; stopping the refill is the actual work, and it goes in your report either way.

Do you serve clients outside India?

Yes. About half the sites we run are outside India, mostly in the UK, US, and UAE. Reporting is in English, invoicing supports INR, USD, GBP, and AED, and our on-call window covers standard business hours across those regions.

Can you fix a WordPress site that fails Core Web Vitals?

Yes, and it's most of what the Performance tier does. In 2026 the metric most WordPress sites fail is INP (interaction latency), usually from heavy page-builder JavaScript. We profile the real field data, defer and split the scripts causing it, tune caching, and track LCP, INP and CLS against Google's thresholds (2.5s / 200ms / 0.1) in every monthly report so a regression is caught before it costs you rankings.

Can you help my site show up in AI search and ChatGPT answers?

Yes. Search is shifting from a page of links to a single AI-generated answer, and being the source that answer quotes is the new front page. We make a site machine-readable: structured schema on every entity, an llms.txt file for the crawlers that read it, and answer-first content an engine can lift a clean sentence from. It's the same discipline as SEO, aimed at where the next decade of traffic actually begins. This is included in Managed and available as an add-on on other tiers.

Do you maintain Shopify stores too, or only WordPress and WooCommerce?

WordPress and WooCommerce are our core. We also take on Shopify performance, theme, and app-cleanup work, and we'll give you an honest read during the free audit on whether your store is better served staying on WooCommerce or moving. We don't push a platform we can't stand behind.

Can you migrate my site to faster hosting without downtime?

Yes. We stage the new environment, mirror the database and files, verify everything on a temporary URL, then cut the DNS over during a low-traffic window with the old host kept warm as a fallback. Done properly a migration is invisible to your customers. It's part of onboarding when a site's current hosting is the bottleneck.

What determines which plan my site needs?

Traffic, transaction volume, and how much the site earns. A brochure site that needs a safety net fits Care. A store where a slow checkout costs real sales belongs on Performance. A site that is the business, or where an hour of downtime is expensive, wants Managed. The free audit tells you honestly which one, and we'd rather put you on a smaller plan that fits than a larger one you don't need.

Tell us what's breaking. We'll tell you what it costs to keep it running.
