If you need affordable website maintenance services or affordable website support, Essential Care covers the basics properly: real backups, real updates and a real person to email. It's website support for small business owners, without paying for hours you won't use. - ### Marketing Teams Business website support and business website maintenance for teams that publish often. Our website support and maintenance services take the technical upkeep and the edit queue off your hands, and your marketers keep shipping without waiting on a developer or breaking the site. - ### Enterprise and Multi-Site Organizations Enterprise website maintenance with custom website maintenance services: agreed update windows, change logs your IT team can audit, and Core Web Vitals tracked across every property. - ### Digital Agencies Website support for digital agencies that build sites but don't want to run a support desk. We handle updates, backups and speed upkeep on the client sites you choose. Expertise ## Platforms Our Website Maintenance Team Supports - ### WordPress Plugin, theme and core updates, page builder sites and multisite networks. See our WordPress support services (https://www.pagespeedmatters.com/services/wordpress-maintenance) for the full plan details. - Gutenberg - Elementor - Multisite - ### WooCommerce Store-safe updates, checkout testing and database cleanup through our WooCommerce maintenance service (https://www.pagespeedmatters.com/services/woocommerce-maintenance). - Checkout - Payments - Extensions - ### Hosted Platforms Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and BigCommerce handle the server, but apps, scripts, content and speed still need looking after. - Shopify - Webflow - Squarespace - ### Custom and Headless Sites Website maintenance solutions for custom frameworks and headless frontends: dependency updates, build checks and performance monitoring. - React - Next.js - Custom CMS The Problem ## What Happens When Nobody Maintains Your Website? Sites slow down, break and get hacked when updates pile up and nobody is watching. These are the problems we see most often when a business finally hands over its website maintenance support. 1. ### Outdated Plugins, Themes and Core Skipped updates stack up until one big update breaks the layout, a form or the checkout. Updating little and often, with testing, is how professional website maintenance services avoid that. 2. ### Security Holes and Downtime Most hacked sites run old software with known vulnerabilities. Without monitoring, you find out when a customer emails you, or when Google flags the site. 3. ### Speed That Creeps Back New images, tracking tags and plugins add weight every month. A site that passed Core Web Vitals last year can fail today, and your rankings and conversions slip with it. How to audit your site's performance (https://www.pagespeedmatters.com/resources/guides/ultimate-measurement-tools-data-guide) 4. ### Nobody to Call When It Breaks The original developer has moved on and the hosting company only covers the server. You need website maintenance help from someone who knows your site and answers quickly. The Data ## Why Website Maintenance and Optimization Pay Off Speed is the part of website maintenance support services most providers skip, and it is the part that quietly costs you visitors, rankings and sales. - 53% of mobile visitors leave if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load Source: Google (opens in a new tab) (https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/marketing-strategies/app-and-mobile/mobile-page-speed-new-industry-benchmarks/) - ~7% conversion loss from a 1-second delay Source: Portent (opens in a new tab) (https://www.portent.com/blog/analytics/research-site-speed-hurting-everyones-revenue.htm) - 70% more organic traffic for sites passing Core Web Vitals Source: Google (opens in a new tab) (https://web.dev/articles/vitals/) - ~1% more conversions per 100ms faster load time Source: Deloitte/Google (opens in a new tab) (https://www2.deloitte.com/ie/en/pages/consulting/articles/milliseconds-make-millions.html) Website Maintenance ## All Website Maintenance Services - ### WordPress Support Services Tested plugin and core updates, daily backups and speed monitoring for WordPress sites.

How It Works ## Web Maintenance Services Included in Every Care Plan These website maintenance and support services come with every plan. Higher tiers add more developer hours, faster response times and deeper Core Web Vitals work. - ### Updates Tested on Staging We apply core, plugin, app and theme updates on a staging copy first, check key pages and forms, then push to live. If an update causes trouble, we roll it back before you notice. - ### Daily Backups and Fast Restores Automated daily backups stored off-site, separate from your host, with 30 days of history. If anything goes wrong, we restore a clean copy and tell you what happened. - ### Security and Uptime Monitoring Uptime checks run around the clock, with malware scans, login protection and SSL monitoring alongside them. Alerts come to us first, so problems get fixed rather than forwarded. - ### Speed and Core Web Vitals Upkeep This is where our website maintenance and optimization goes further than most. We monitor speed every month, catch regressions from new content or plugins, and fix them using the same methods as our speed optimization services (https://www.pagespeedmatters.com/services/wordpress-speed-optimization). - ### Edits, Fixes and Small Builds Every plan includes a website support service with developer time for content changes, new sections, broken layouts and plugin swaps. Requests go into one support queue and are handled by website support specialists who know your site. - ### SEO Health Checks Website maintenance SEO checks catch broken links, missing redirects, accidental noindex tags and sitemap errors before they hurt your rankings. The Process ## How Does Ongoing Website Maintenance Work? Ongoing website maintenance runs as a monthly cycle: back up, update on staging, verify, monitor and report. Onboarding takes about a week. 1. ### Onboarding and Baseline Audit Week 1 We take a full backup, record your current speed and Core Web Vitals, list every plugin, app and integration, and flag anything outdated or risky. You get the findings before we change anything. 2. ### Monitoring and Backup Setup Week 1 We connect uptime, security and speed monitoring, set up off-site backups and create a staging copy for testing updates. 3. ### Monthly Update Cycle Monthly Updates are tested on staging, checked against your key pages and forms, then deployed. Growth and Priority Care sites get this weekly. 4. ### Speed, Security and Support Ongoing Between update cycles we watch alerts, fix speed regressions and work through your support queue within your plan's response time. 5. ### Monthly Report and Review Monthly Each month you get a short report: updates applied, backups taken, uptime, security events, speed trends and the tasks we completed.
