What's the real cost of not having a care plan?
WordPress powers over 43% of the internet — and it's the most targeted CMS. The Patchstack 2025 Mid-Year Vulnerability Report recorded 6,700 new vulnerabilities in the first half of 2025 alone, with 41% classified as exploitable in real-world attacks.
Downtime & lost revenue
A broken checkout or white-screen homepage costs sales and leads every minute it's live — often before you even know.
Slow visitors
Database bloat and caching drift accumulate silently until Core Web Vitals slip and rankings follow.
SEO rankings at risk
Performance degradation shows up in search console before site owners notice — by then, traffic has already dropped.
Manual work time
DIY maintenance eats 3–5 hours per month — time better spent on revenue, not plugin changelogs.
Expensive emergency fixes
One malware cleanup or emergency developer call can cost more than a full year of professional care.
The cost of a reactive fix — emergency developer, malware cleanup, data recovery — typically runs $300–$2,000 per incident. A care plan from $49/month converts that unpredictable risk into a fixed monthly line item.
What's included in every care plan
Every WPOPS care plan covers the full stack of WordPress maintenance — not just updates.
✓
Staged WordPress core updates
Tested on staging before going live — no surprise conflicts on production.
✓
Plugin & theme updates
Safe cadence with changelog and compatibility review before rollout.
✓
Daily off-site backups
30-day retention with verified restores — not just backup creation.
✓
24/7 uptime monitoring
Instant alerts so we know before your customers do if something is down.
✓
Security scanning & malware removal
Included on Perform and above — we remove malware, not just flag it.
✓
Core Web Vitals monitoring
Performance regressions flagged before they hurt rankings or conversion.
✓
Database optimization
Monthly cleanup of transients, sessions, and bloat that slows WooCommerce stores.
✓
Monthly care report
Everything done, documented — updates, backups, uptime, and security in one summary.
Everything above is included from $49/month. No setup fee, no per-update billing, no emergency surcharge. See full plan comparison.
How to choose the right WordPress care plan
The right plan depends on how business-critical your site is, whether you run WooCommerce, and whether you manage sites for clients.
Standard WordPress sites
Updates, backups, security, and monitoring — Care at $49/month covers the essentials. Perform at $59/month adds staging verification and Core Web Vitals monitoring for revenue-generating sites.
View pricingWooCommerce stores
One bad plugin update can break checkout. Perform at $59/month includes staging verification before every update batch — checkout flow tested, payment gateway confirmed.
WooCommerce maintenanceHigh-traffic or mission-critical
When downtime costs thousands per hour, you need staged rollouts, priority response, and proactive monitoring — not reactive fixes after the fact.
Emergency supportWordPress care plans vs. doing it yourself
| Task | DIY | WPOPS Care Plans |
|---|---|---|
| Time per month | 5–15 hours | 0 hours |
| Risk of bad update | High | Minimized (staged rollouts) |
| Backups | Manual, same-server | Automatic daily off-site |
| Security | Reactive | 24/7 proactive monitoring |
| Performance | Trial and error | Expert optimization |
| Cost | Your time + stress | From $49/month |
The hidden cost of DIY is the one incident you didn't plan for. A single emergency fix or malware cleanup costs more than 6–12 months of a care plan.
Who WPOPS care plans are built for
Small businesses & brochure sites
You're not a developer — and you shouldn't need to be. A care plan gives you a technical team without hiring one, for less than most SaaS subscriptions.
WooCommerce store owners
Checkout is your revenue. Every update is tested against your payment gateway on staging before it touches your live store — from $59/month.
Store maintenanceAgencies managing client sites
White label plans let you offer branded WordPress maintenance without building a maintenance operation. WPOPS operates as your invisible technical team.
White label plansBusinesses switching providers
If your current provider applies updates directly to live sites without testing — that's the problem a care plan should solve. WPOPS migrates you within 48 hours.

Loved by site owners and agencies
“We switched from a budget maintenance service that kept breaking our checkout. WPOPS tests everything on staging first — haven't had a single production incident since.”
“White label reports look completely on-brand. Our clients have no idea we outsource maintenance — and that's exactly how we want it.”
“The $49 plan pays for itself the first time an update would have broken our contact forms. Staging before production is non-negotiable now.”

What does a WordPress care plan include each month?
Every plan includes WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates tested before going live, daily off-site backups with restore support, uptime monitoring, and a monthly summary report. Perform and above add malware removal, security hardening, and priority response. White Label plans add branded PDF reports and multi-site management.
Do you lock me into a long contract?
No contracts. All plans are month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We keep clients by doing good work, not paperwork.
Can you work on sites not hosted with WPOPS?
Yes. We work on any WordPress site regardless of host. We support WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, Flywheel, and self-hosted setups. If your host supports WordPress, we can manage it.
How fast do you respond to issues?
Care plan clients get same-day response on business days. Perform clients get priority handling with faster triage. Critical incidents like site downtime are treated urgently on all plans — with wordpress emergency support paths when production breaks.
Can I combine care plans with SEO or builds?
Yes. Many clients run a care plan alongside our SEO services or use us for one-off development work. Everything is managed through one dashboard and one point of contact.
What happens if a plugin update breaks my site?
We catch most conflicts before they happen because we test updates on a staging environment first. If something does break on production, we roll back immediately using your daily backup and fix the conflict.
How is WPOPS different from WP Buffs?
Our plans start at $49/month vs WP Buffs at $89/month, which is $480/year in savings for comparable coverage. We also include staged update rollouts and Core Web Vitals monitoring on Perform and above. See the full WP Buffs comparison.
How is a WordPress care plan different from WordPress hosting?
Hosting keeps your server running. A care plan keeps your WordPress installation healthy — updates tested and applied, backups verified, security hardened, uptime monitored, and a team available when something breaks. Most sites need both. WPOPS works alongside any hosting provider — we don't require you to move your hosting.
