What’s Included in a WordPress Maintenance Package — And Why It Matters

Keeping Your WordPress Site Healthy with the Right Maintenance Plan

Running a website isn’t just about how it looks—it’s also about how well it works. Without regular care, even the best-designed WordPress sites can slow down, break, or get hacked. That’s where WordPress maintenance packages come in.

At The Site Shark, we offer monthly WordPress Maintenance Packages designed to keep your website running smoothly and securely—so you can focus on your business, not your backend.

Why WordPress Maintenance Is Important

Most website issues don’t happen overnight—they build up quietly over time. Outdated plugins, ignored updates, or missing backups can lead to slow load times, broken features, or even full site crashes. Regular WordPress maintenance keeps your website healthy, secure, and optimized for performance so you don’t have to worry about losing leads, sales, or credibility. It’s not just about fixing problems—it’s about preventing them before they start.

Common WordPress Maintenance Mistakes

Relying only on their host’s backups (which often exclude media or databases)
Skipping minor updates that contain major security patches
Ignoring plugin conflicts after updates
Forgetting to monitor uptime or performance metrics
Delaying fixes for “small” errors that snowball into downtime

With a structured maintenance plan, you can avoid these pitfalls and keep your website running smoothly year-round.
