WordPress maintenance
for your website

If you stop maintaining your website, it will eventually stop working. This is because there are so many variables (WordPress, WordPress themes, plugins, PHP version) that, after a certain period, will no longer be compatible with each other. This causes conflicts and can crash your website. Sometimes this happens after six months, in other cases after two years. The rule is that this is inevitable. The costs of fixing this are often more expensive than a WordPress maintenance subscription.

No one wants a website that stops working after a while, especially when you really need it. That’s why it’s important to update the website on time and make sure it stays secure. Websites that haven’t been updated for a long time are often hacked because there are bugs in the code, making them vulnerable. If you have the latest version of WordPress, your theme, and your plugins, and use a good firewall, the chances of your website being hacked are almost zero.

A good hosting provider is very important for the loading time of your website. In addition, we ensure that all plugins and themes are updated and unnecessary plugins are removed. Furthermore, we use caching, optimize images, and minimize the code so that it can load faster. We perform a scan before and after the adjustments to demonstrate the improvements.

WordPress maintenance is required to some extent. Since the introduction of the GDPR in 2018, as a website owner, you are responsible for providing the safest possible website for your visitors. This means you need to keep WordPress and the plugins you use up to date.

WordPress is an extremely user-friendly Content Management System (CMS). It’s reliable and easy to use, even for beginners. You don’t need to be a web developer to use it. It’s used worldwide and is open-source, which means it’s continuously being developed.

Updating WordPress keeps your site safe, fast, and accessible. WordPress updates improve security, helping to ensure you don’t experience downtime, a slower website, or worse: potential hacking.

It depends on when an update is available. We always choose the right moment to update your WordPress version, and we usually don’t do it immediately when a new version is released. This gives WordPress some time to fix any bugs in the new version.

To find out which version of WordPress is installed on your website, you need to log in to your site. Through your Dashboard, you can see which version of WordPress is currently installed on your website or webshop.

To see which WordPress theme you’re using, you need to log in to your website. Once logged in, go to “Appearance” > “Themes” and there you’ll see all the WordPress themes currently installed. If that doesn’t work, you can also use a tool.

You maintain your website by systematically performing the available updates. This keeps your website fast, accessible, and secure. Updates you can perform on your site include:

• WordPress updates
• WordPress theme updates
• Plugin updates

Additionally, it’s important to periodically clean up your database and check if your website has the correct PHP version. It’s advisable to make a backup of your site before updating. Be careful if you’re not knowledgeable about this. It may happen that certain versions are not yet compatible with each other, which can cause an error message (downtime of your site). Restoring from this is often complicated.

WordPress maintenance subscriptions varies. Standard prices range between 25 and 50 euros per month. Kleidi offers affordable prices due to years of experience and thereby an optimized process. At Kleidi, depending on the size of your website, prices range from 247 to 467 euros per year.

Preferably, you carry out continuous updates. That means as soon as there is a new version of WordPress, the theme, or a plugin. Make sure to create a backup before performing an update.

The WordPress maintenance mode appears on your screen as soon as the site is updating. This usually lasts no more than a few minutes, after which your site should be accessible again.

From the moment you sign up for a maintenance subscription and the agreement is signed, we can install the maintenance and begin monitoring and optimizing that same day.

Definitely. We work with SiteGround, which has some of the safest and fastest servers in Europe. We can support you (at no cost) with setting up an account and provide advice.

A well-maintained website is secure, fast, and always up to date. But to keep your website online, you need web hosting. Web hosting gives you space on a server so that your website is visible on the internet.

Good hosting is very important for a fast website with enough storage space. Hosting and maintenance often complement each other, and for the best website performance, you need both stable hosting and regular updates.

The period for a maintenance subscription is 1 year. You will receive an invoice 30 days before the subscription ends for another year of maintenance. If you do not wish to continue, you can cancel after the first year with a 2-month notice period. We recommend canceling maintenance only if you also take your website offline.

This is certainly possible. In consultation, you can upgrade or downgrade. In fact, if we think it’s necessary, we will advise you to do so.

If we are responsible for maintaining your website, you won’t be able to update WordPress yourself. If you think a plugin or theme needs an update, you can always contact us, and we’ll take care of it.
