WordPress Maintenance from Dusseldorf for Secure and Fast Websites

I keep your WordPress website up to date, back it up regularly and step in when something breaks. So you can focus on your business instead of plugin updates.

Why WordPress Maintenance?

WordPress runs more than 40 percent of all websites (W3Techs). That makes it the most popular target for attacks. According to the Patchstack State of WordPress Security 2026 report, more than 11,000 new vulnerabilities were found in the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, 91 percent of them in plugins. The median time from disclosure to mass exploitation was just five hours.

An unmaintained website isn't a risk for someday. It's a risk for this week. Add updates that break the layout, a full server or an expired certificate. With proper maintenance, none of that goes unnoticed.

What's Included

No blind one-click updates. Every change is backed up, tested and documented.

Updates with Backup and Testing

I keep WordPress core, plugins and theme up to date. Every update starts with a backup, and afterwards I check the key pages and forms. Larger updates are tested on a staging environment first.

Off-Site Backups

Daily backups of files and database, stored in a separate location. If the server fails or gets hacked, your website can still be restored.

Security and Monitoring

Malware scans, vulnerability monitoring and uptime checks. If your website goes down, I know before your customers do.

Performance

Database cleanup, caching checks and an eye on load times and Core Web Vitals. Websites get slower over time when nobody looks after them.

Small Changes and Support

New copy, a swapped image, an adjusted form. Send me a quick message and I'll take care of it. No ticket system, no waiting line.

How We Start

First I run a free website check: WordPress and PHP versions, plugins, security, backups and load time. You get a short summary and a fixed monthly price. Once maintenance is running, you receive a monthly report with all updates, backups and anything unusual. So you see what happened and what you're paying for.

WordPress Support from Dusseldorf

With large maintenance providers you end up in a queue. With me you have one contact who knows your website. I've been building with WordPress for more than ten years and know which plugins cause trouble and which updates are better tested first.

I'm based in Dusseldorf and maintain WordPress websites for clients across Germany and beyond. Maintenance runs remotely, and in the Rhineland region I'm happy to meet in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a WordPress website need regular maintenance?

According to Patchstack, more than 11,000 new vulnerabilities were found in the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, 91 percent of them in plugins. Known vulnerabilities are often mass-exploited within hours of disclosure. Regular updates, backups and monitoring keep that risk low.

What is included in WordPress maintenance?

Updates for WordPress core, plugins and theme with a backup before and a check after, daily off-site backups, security and uptime monitoring, performance checks and a monthly report. Small content or feature changes can be included depending on the plan.

How much does a WordPress maintenance plan cost?

It depends on the size of the website, the number of plugins and whether it runs a shop. After a free website check you get a fixed monthly price with no hidden costs.

Do you take over WordPress websites you didn't build?

Yes. Before we start, I review the website once: versions, plugins, security, backups and performance. After that you know where the website stands and what should be done first.

Do I have to commit long-term?

No. Maintenance runs monthly with a fair notice period. You keep ownership of your website, all logins and all backups at any time.

Who Maintenance Is For

Business Websites

Your website is often the first impression. An error message or a browser security warning costs trust and inquiries.

WooCommerce Shops

Every hour of downtime costs revenue. For shops, tested updates and fast response matter even more.

Websites Without Support

The agency is gone or the freelancer doesn't reply anymore. I take over the website and bring it back to a clean state.

Busy Business Owners

You don't want to deal with updates, backups and PHP versions. You don't have to.

Is your website showing its age?

Sometimes a rebuild costs less than keeping an outdated system alive.
