What is the $19.99/month managed WordPress maintenance plan? It is CriticalWP's managed WordPress website maintenance service with enhanced security, priced at $19.99 per month for each site, month-to-month with no setup fee. It includes tested core, theme and plugin updates, the Patchstack security firewall, uptime monitoring and multiple backup points. It does not include hosting or Cloudflare, and it works on your site where it is already hosted.

Most WordPress sites are one missed update from a bad day.

WordPress runs a lot of the web, and that makes it a constant target. Most attacks do not come from clever hackers aimed at your business. They come from automated tools that look for sites running a plugin or theme with a known flaw. The longer an update waits, the longer that door stays open.

Keeping up is dull, repetitive work, and it is easy to put off. It is also the work that matters most, because a site that is never updated is a site that is eventually compromised, or one that quietly stops working.

A WordPress maintenance plan exists to take that work off your list. This one handles it for you. Updates are tested before they go live, a security firewall guards against known attacks, we watch whether your site is up, and there are backups to fall back on. You get the routine maintenance covered for a flat monthly price.

CriticalWP is a WebOps agency for WordPress based in the Austin, TX metro, and we maintain WordPress sites for businesses across the US. This plan is the starting point for managed WordPress at CriticalWP: when you need hosting, or someone accountable for a site your business depends on, our managed plans pick up from here.

  • Tested updates

    Core, theme and plugin updates are applied and checked on a copy of your site first, then released.

  • Patchstack security firewall

    Blocks attacks aimed at known WordPress, plugin and theme vulnerabilities, so a new flaw is not an open door.

  • Uptime monitoring

    We monitor whether your site is up, so an outage is noticed by us, not first by your customers.

  • Multiple backup points

    Several restore points, so you can roll back if something goes wrong.

Common questions

Managed maintenance with enhanced security: tested core, theme and plugin updates, the Patchstack security firewall, uptime monitoring and multiple backup points. It is month-to-month with no setup fee.
No. This is maintenance only, and it works on your site where it is already hosted. If you want hosting, security and operations from one provider, see CriticalWP's managed WordPress plans.
No. Everything in CriticalWP's maintenance service is included except Cloudflare. If you need a CDN and edge protection as well, our managed WordPress plans include it.
Patchstack is a WordPress security service that blocks attacks aimed at known plugin, theme and core vulnerabilities, sometimes before a patch is available. It is part of this plan.
Updates are applied and checked on a copy of your site before they reach the live version, so an update that breaks something is caught first. This is the same approach we use in our managed WordPress operations.
No. The plan is $19.99 per month for each site, month-to-month with no setup fee, and you can cancel anytime.
Hosting, Cloudflare, building or migrating a site, and custom development are not part of this plan. Cleaning up a site that is already hacked or broken is handled by our emergency support.
This plan is for keeping a healthy site maintained. If your site is down or compromised right now, use our emergency support instead.
