What a care plan prevents

  • Plugin update conflicts

    The most common cause of WordPress downtime. Staged updates catch conflicts before they reach your live site.

  • Security breaches

    Unmaintained sites accumulate vulnerabilities. Regular security hardening, malware scanning, and firewall rules dramatically reduce breach risk. A malware cleanup costs $500–$2,000 when it happens reactively.

  • Backup failures

    Most self-managed backup solutions fail silently. Verified daily off-site backups mean your worst case is losing one day of data, not everything.

  • Performance degradation

    Database bloat, unoptimised images, and caching drift accumulate over time. Left unchecked they show up in Google rankings before site owners notice them.

  • Hosting suspension

    Hosting providers can and do suspend accounts where malware is detected, often without warning. An unmaintained site is more likely to end up infected and suspended at the worst possible moment.

How is the ROI calculated?

The calculator estimates your annual risk cost (downtime revenue loss plus emergency fix costs) and compares it against the $588 annual cost of the WebFixit Care plan. ROI is the ratio of risk avoided to plan cost.

What if my site has never gone down?

That's great, and a care plan helps keep it that way. Enter 0 for downtime incidents and the calculator will show you the break-even based on emergency fix costs alone. Most sites with zero downtime history still benefit from the backup verification and security hardening included in the plan.

Is monthly revenue the right metric to use?

Use whatever represents the value your site generates: revenue, leads at an average lead value, bookings, or ad revenue. The goal is to understand what an hour of downtime actually costs your business.

Does WebFixit guarantee no downtime?

No maintenance service can guarantee zero downtime. Hosting providers, third-party services, and unforeseen conflicts can still cause issues. WebFixit guarantees staged updates, daily backups, 24/7 uptime monitoring, and emergency support, which significantly reduce the frequency and duration of incidents.

What's the difference between the Care and Perform plans for ROI?

The Perform plan at $59/month adds staging verification on every update, the single highest-value feature for preventing plugin conflict downtime. For sites where downtime has a material cost, the Perform plan's ROI is almost always higher than Care despite the extra $10/month.
