WordPress Maintenance: Worry-free up-to-date and secure
A powerful WordPress website is the beating heart of your online business. But just like a well-running engine, WordPress also needs regular maintenance. Outdated software is in fact the biggest cause of technical problems and security vulnerabilities. At Prospects4u we take this worry completely off your hands with our professional WordPress maintenance service.
What we do for you monthly
We do not believe in blindly pressing an update button. Our approach is structured and safe!
Full backup beforehand
Before we make even a single change, we create a complete backup of your database and files. This way, in case of unforeseen conflicts, we can always revert directly to the working situation.
Updates of WordPress Core, Plugins & Themes
We install the latest versions of the WordPress system, your active plugins and your theme. This keeps your site compatible with the latest technologies
Manual Functional Check
After updating, we manually check whether the website still functions properly. Do the forms still work? Is the layout intact? Only when everything is 100% in order do we deliver the work
The risks of deferred maintenance
Skipping updates seems harmless, but brings serious dangers:
Hacking & Malware:
Outdated plugins are the favorite entry point for hackers. Security vulnerabilities in old versions become publicly known, making your site an easy target.
Poor Performance:
New updates often contain optimizations that make your site faster. Without these updates, your site becomes slower over time, which is bad for your visitor experience and your position in Google.
Website ‘Breaks’:
If you wait too long, the differences between versions become too great. Plugins stop working because they no longer communicate with the latest WordPress version, which can lead to an inaccessible website (the dreaded ‘white screen’).

Frequently asked questions about WordPress Maintenance
Can't I just do the updates myself?
Of course you can. WordPress makes it very easy with one click of a button. However, the question is what you do when things go wrong. Sometimes plugins stop communicating with each other after an update, causing your website to become slow or even completely inaccessible. We have the technical expertise to resolve code conflicts directly. We do the work, you keep the focus on your business.
Why is a manual check after the update so important?
Automatic update tools only check whether the installation succeeded, not whether the website still looks good. It regularly happens that an update disrupts the layout of your menu or that a contact form no longer sends. Our specialists manually check the critical parts of your site, so you can be sure you do not miss any leads.
What happens if my website gets hacked?
Prevention is better than cure, and up-to-date software is your best defense. Should you nevertheless fall victim to an attack while having a maintenance package with us, we immediately restore a clean backup. The Professional and Premium packages also include active security monitoring to keep intruders out.
What is the difference between hosting and maintenance?
Hosting is the ‘rent’ of the space on a server where your website is located. Maintenance is the care of the software (WordPress) that runs on that server. Compare it to a house: hosting is the ground and the walls, maintenance is the painter and the plumber who ensure everything inside keeps working and is safe. For the best performance we recommend placing both with Prospects4u. If you host with us, maintenance is always included
My website has not been updated for a while, can I join immediately?
If your website has a significant backlog (for example no updates for more than 6 months), we first perform a baseline measurement and a ‘catch-up’. We check the current status of the code for safety and compatibility. Contact us for a quick scan.
How do I pay for the update service
All WordPress update services are billed monthly. We use the payment provider Stripe for this. You complete your first payment via iDeal/WERO. With the first payment you authorize automatic monthly direct debit. You can cancel the subscription anytime you want.
Why choose the WordPress update service from Prospects4u?
In contrast to many other parties, we do not work with a fully automated process. An update can be technically “successful”, while your layout shifts or a button no longer works. Our specialists always look at the result with the human eye. That is the certainty of Prospects4u.
