Basic WordPress Maintenance & Support Features

Updates

We’ll update and test core WordPress and plugin updates on your website. Updates can cause problems, but we’ll test the functionality of your website after each software update to ensure you’re getting the security and features you need. ¹

Security

We’ll fortify your WordPress website to prevent attacks with iThemes Security on your WordPress site, keeping evil-doers out, and classy citizens in. ²

Backups

Your database will be backed up daily and files backed up weekly to your local server and Tampa SEO’s DropBox for safe keeping. Add your own cloud service like DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, or FTP at no additional charge and have your own WordPress backups on your own service. ³

SEO

We will install and setup WordPress SEO by Yoast with settings that are unique to your own WordPress site to set you up for success. Now you can stop fussing with tedious details and just write and produce.

Performance

Deliver your content at blazing speeds with page and database caching. Your users, server, and SEO will thank you.  ⁴

Google Analytics

We’ll be sure that Google Analytics data is being sent to Google appropriately, and apply filters so that only legitimate traffic is captured. We’ll also setup one goal to help you understand your website’s performance to generate leads or transactions.

Technical Support or Audit

Got an issue? Need us to call your host or take a further look at a problem? We’ll provide up to 1 hour of technical support and consulting. No pending issues during the month? Instead, we’ll use that time to take a deep look at your website and report problematic areas that can improve your site’s performance.

Notes

¹ Customer must provide login credentials to third-party plugin or themes in order to update plugins that are not a part of WordPress’s plugin repository.

² Some advanced security features might conflict with certain server configurations and website functionality and may not be implemented.

³ Tampa SEO keeps backups on customer’s local server and our own DropBox account. Additional remote destinations such as Amazon S3, DropBox, Google Drive, and RackSpace Cloud Files can be added at no charge, but the customer is responsible for costs associated with their own remote storage destinations.

⁴ Not all files can be compressed or cached as they may conflict with specific functions of a website. In most cases, the majority of files can be optimized to improve performance.

⁵ Includes the configuration of the CloudFlare Free plan. Does not include upgraded CloudFlare plans. CloudFlare requires the customer’s credentials to the domain registrar and requires a DNS change. Tampa SEO can sign-up for and setup this account.

⁶ This service does not measure downtime caused by website’s own software, just the server it is hosted on. Client may choose to upgrade their account through Pingdom for added features. Tampa SEO can sign-up for and setup this account.

⁷ Requires a free WordPress.com account. Tampa SEO can sign-up for and setup this account.
