Website Maintenance

Website maintenance plans (also sold as "care plans") usually bundle updates, backups, and security work — but the monitoring piece is what tells you whether the maintenance is actually holding, not just whether it was performed on schedule.

A plugin update that breaks a page, a theme change that drops a security header, or a host migration that doesn't carry over SSL settings are all maintenance-adjacent problems that monitoring catches faster than a monthly manual review does.

Who this is for

  • Agencies and freelancers selling website care or maintenance plans
  • WordPress and Shopify site managers responsible for multiple stores or sites
  • Anyone who wants monitoring to justify a recurring maintenance retainer, not just uptime alone
