Support often highlights improvement opportunities.
As websites evolve, WordPress support can reveal areas where structure, content or functionality can be improved or better optimised.
Supporting Facts: Why Our Service Matters
WordPress is the world’s most widely used CMS, which also makes it the most frequently targeted. These recent figures show why proactive WordPress maintenance and support is critical.
Security Vulnerabilities Rising
- WordPress powers 42.5% of all websites, which makes it the world’s most widely used CMS and an attractive target for attackers. (W3techs.com 2026)
- Patchstack’s 2026 security report found that 91% of newly reported WordPress vulnerabilities were in plugins, with another 9% in themes. (Patchstack 2026)
- Wordfence said 2,213 vulnerabilities were added to its database in Q4 2025 alone, including 131 high-threat issues, and 905 remained unpatched at the end of the quarter. (Wordfence 2026)
Small issues left undetected can quickly turn into security problems that need site repair or even site rebuild work. We’ve repaired many infected websites over the years, and we’re here to help if your website has been compromised.
What We Do to Mitigate These Issues
Most vulnerabilities are easily avoided via regular updates and plugin management.
Sites running outdated themes or unpatched / unsupported plugins, are exposed to known attack vectors. It’s what hackers depend on.
We:
- Check for unsupported themes and plugins
- Identify these issues
- Fix them before they become a problem
- Ensure you are secure going forwards
Regular Support = Lower Long-Term Costs
Emergency fixes are usually more expensive than regular maintenance. Avoid disruption with a WordPress Support and Maintenance plan.
