Performance & Maintenance
Performance & Maintenance
Ongoing speed, security, uptime and platform updates — so the site that took months to build doesn't quietly degrade.
Overview
A website is never finished the day it launches. Platforms update, plugins age, traffic grows and security issues appear. Performance and maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site fast, secure and available — so it doesn't quietly degrade over the next two years.
Who it's for
Any live site that needs someone responsible for keeping it healthy, without hiring a full-time in-house developer.
What we actually do
We monitor speed and uptime, apply security patches and platform updates, fix what breaks, and report on the health of the site each month. Small ongoing requests — a new section, a content change, a fix — are handled as part of the same relationship.
What's Covered
The unglamorous work that protects everything else.
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Monitoring and optimization so pages stay fast for visitors and for search engines.
Security & updates
Security patches and platform or plugin updates applied on a schedule, not when something breaks.
Uptime & response
Uptime monitoring and a clear process for responding when something goes wrong.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does maintenance include?
Speed and uptime monitoring, security patches, platform and plugin updates, monthly health reporting, and small ongoing changes. The exact scope is agreed with you up front.
Can you maintain a site you didn't build?
Usually yes, after an initial audit of its condition. We'll tell you plainly what shape it is in and what it needs.
Do you offer ongoing support after we launch with you?
Yes. Ongoing care is a natural continuation of a build, and we can set it up as part of the launch plan.
