WordPress updates that are tested and applied in a controlled way

Outdated plugins are the most common cause of hacked and broken WordPress websites. We update core, plugins and themes at fixed intervals – with a backup beforehand and a check afterwards.

What happens in every update run
Updates are not a click on “Update all”. Every run follows the same documented process.
WordPress core updates
Security and maintenance releases are applied promptly; major version jumps are reviewed beforehand.
Plugin updates
All active plugins are updated – including premium plugins, provided valid licences are available.
Theme updates
Theme and child theme updates are applied without overwriting your customisations.
Backup before the update
Before every run, a complete backup of files and database is created.
Check after the update
The home page, forms, checkout and key subpages are checked after every update.
Rollback in case of errors
If an update causes an error, we roll the website back to the last working state.
