WordPress Care Plans: What They Include and Which One You Need
Ongoing maintenance that keeps your site secure, fast, and updated, without managing the technical layer yourself.
Compare plansWhat is a WordPress care plan?
A care plan is a recurring maintenance service that handles the ongoing technical management of your WordPress site: plugin and core updates, security monitoring, backups, uptime alerts, and performance maintenance. The goal: the site runs reliably without you owning the pager.
One-time fixes repair damage after it happens. A care plan catches problems before they happen: prevention over firefighting.

How to choose
Site type
Brochure vs. WooCommerce vs. membership. Complexity drives the plan tier.
Risk tolerance
DIY updates are fine until one takes down a live checkout.
Agency or individual
White label tiers are built for reselling at margin.
