WordPress Update Service

Never worry about updates again. Safe, tested updates for WordPress core, plugins and themes — every week.

Updates are the most important — and most neglected — part of WordPress maintenance. Every week, updates are released for the WordPress core, your plugins and your theme. They contain new features, performance improvements and, crucially, security patches. But everyone knows the horror stories: an update that breaks your layout, a plugin conflict that takes your website offline, a white screen after clicking "update". Our WordPress update service removes both the risk and the hassle.

The statistics are clear: the vast majority of hacked WordPress websites were running outdated software. Vulnerabilities in plugins are publicly documented — including instructions on how to exploit them. Every day you postpone a security update, your website is an open target. Yet updating blindly is equally risky: incompatible updates are the number one cause of broken websites.

WP Maintainer solves this dilemma with a professional update process. Critical security updates are installed within 24 hours. Regular updates are bundled weekly and first tested on a staging environment — an exact copy of your website where we verify that everything works. Only after successful testing do updates go live. If something still goes wrong, we roll back immediately using the backup we take before every update round.

The result: your website is always up to date and secure, without you ever having to click the update button again — and without the fear that an update will break your site. That is the peace of mind our update service delivers, week after week.

Why our update service?

Staging-first testing

Every update is tested on an exact copy of your website before it goes live. Broken layouts, plugin conflicts and white screens are caught on staging — never on your live website.

Security updates within 24 hours

When a critical vulnerability is published, we patch your website within 24 hours. No waiting for the weekly cycle when security is at stake.

Automatic rollback

Before every update round we take a backup. If an update causes problems despite testing, your website is rolled back within minutes.
