Every month, same rhythm.
No surprises, no "what did you do last month?" — every plan follows the same operational cadence so you always know what's happening this week.
Week 1 · Staging updates
Core, plugins, and theme updated on staging. Every form, checkout, and key page tested before promoting to production.
Week 2 · Security audit
Malware scan, file-integrity check, offsite backup verification. A bad plugin never becomes downtime.
Week 3 · Performance check
PageSpeed + Core Web Vitals run against production. Regressions get fixed in the same week, not logged for later.
Week 4 · Monthly report
Plain-English email: what we updated, what we fixed, uptime %, what to watch next month. No jargon, no padding.
