Security
WordPress is used by more than 30% of all websites in the world, making it the most popular platform by some margin. Because of this – It’s a big target for any security flaws. Between your Host, plugins, WordPress version and content there is a lot of maintenance that needs to be performed to keep your website safe and secure.
We offer two main security services for WordPress: Cleaning up your website (If there has been a security breech) and maintaining your security with our WordPress Security Package. See details below.

You need to keep your WordPress website running as fast as possible. If content loads too slow, clients will leave, and Google will punish your ranking (by pushing you further down thir results).
There is a million little tricks to keep your website running smooth. Your host, plugins, themes, content, hosting settings, caching, databases, external services and much more that combine to keep your website running fast (or slow).
Over the years we have had a lot of feedback from clients to simply “Speedup my website”, so have created this special package below.
