Your WordPress Site Shouldn’t Require a Second Job
Plugin updates that break things. Security vulnerabilities you find out about after the fact. Backups you’re not sure are actually running. Slow load times with no clear cause. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re spending time and mental energy on WordPress infrastructure that should be invisible.
CriticalWP takes full operational ownership of your WordPress environment. We don’t sell hosting packages and leave you to it — we manage the entire platform, monitor it continuously, and respond when something needs attention. Every account is manually reviewed and configured before services begin.
Every Plan
What’s Included in WordPress Maintenance
Every CriticalWP plan includes managed hosting infrastructure — no separate hosting provider required.
🔄 Core, Theme & Plugin Updates
Controlled updates tested before deployment. No auto-updates that break your site at 2am — every change is managed and validated.
💾 Daily Offsite Backups
Daily backups stored securely off-site. Full restore capability so a hack, failed update, or human error doesn’t mean starting over.
📡 Uptime & Performance Monitoring
Continuous monitoring with alerting. We know when your site goes down before you do — and we’re already working on it.
🔒 Security Scanning & Malware Removal
Security hardening, vulnerability monitoring, and malware scanning. If something gets in, we handle removal and remediation.
✏️ Content Updates & Edits
Need to update a page, swap an image, or change business hours? Send it over — we handle the edits so you don’t have to log into WordPress.
🚨 Emergency Support & Incident Response
White screen, site down, hacked — we respond and own the resolution. No ticket queues, no “have you tried turning it off and on again.”
