WordPress maintenance for agencies and freelancers
We find what’s eating your WordPress site.
Then we fix it, put it under glass and keep watching. Scroll to watch it happen to one site.

“Our site is acting strange. Can you look, please?”

Closer, power by power.
×40 · the site
First the whole site: is it up, and answering?
×400 · the pages
Every plugin, theme and version, on one record.
×4,000 · the code
Down to the files: anything changed, anything new.
×40,000 · the server
And the server under it, logs and all.
Five bugs, at work.
cutting the site off
Cut off? You hear the moment it stops answering.
a file nobody uploaded
A file nobody uploaded, flagged for a person to look at.
trying every key
Key after key, turned away at the door.
prising Crumbform open
Crumbform updated from one screen, rolled back if it breaks.
sneaking in a bad update
A bad update that rolls itself back.
Back out, fast.
The whole site again, with the bugs still on it.
Shake it. Mend it.
The bugs let go. The bad update rolls back. The lost post comes home.
