Security

Website Maintenance
Website maintenance.Updated, reported, improved.
Your WordPress site gets a monthly owner. EMPIST updates core, themes, and plugins, checks security and speed, sends a maintenance report, and makes the improvements that report calls for.

Monthly rhythm
You get a report. Then we improve the site.
Each month includes a maintenance report: updates completed, security status, and how the site is performing. We then make the improvements that report points to. Speed, security, broken links, and technical SEO stay inside the monthly plan.
Why it matters
What monthly care changes
Each month ends with a report, then the improvements that report calls for.
Reliability
Plugin updates keep the site up and clear the errors that take pages down.
Performance
Faster pages help visitors stay and help search rankings.
Focus
Your team stays on the business. We keep the site current.
Fewer emergencies
Fixing issues on a schedule costs less than an emergency repair.

From the audit to the fixes
Plugins age, links break, and pages slow down. This is the monthly rhythm that keeps the site current, with a named contact between cycles.
Site audit
When we did not build the site, we review the theme, plugins, speed, security, and mobile layout. You get the findings and a plan before monthly work starts.

FAQ
Website maintenance questions
What the monthly plan covers, the report, and what sits outside it.
01What does EMPIST website maintenance include?
Monthly WordPress care: core, theme, and plugin updates, security scans, uptime and broken-link checks, speed work, SSL renewal, user access review, small content edits, technical SEO, a maintenance report, and the improvements that report calls for.
02Do you send a maintenance report?
Yes. Each month you get a report on updates completed, security status, and site performance. We then make the improvements the report points to inside the monthly plan.
03What improvements do you make after the report?
Speed, security, broken links, and technical SEO that the report flags. New pages, design work, and integrations are scoped separately as bucket hours.
04What if EMPIST did not build our site?
We start with a site audit: theme, plugins, speed, security, mobile layout, and who has admin access. You get findings and a plan before monthly maintenance begins.
05How often do you maintain the site?
Once a month, after onboarding. A named project contact handles questions and requests between cycles.
06Can the same team host the site?
Yes. Pair maintenance with Website Hosting so one partner owns uptime, patches, and recovery.
