What are WordPress maintenance services?
WordPress maintenance services are an ongoing monthly plan where a specialist keeps your WordPress website updated, backed up and secure for you. Scroll The Web's plan costs ₹7,000 + GST per month per website and covers WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, regular backups, security monitoring, uptime checks, speed checks and a monthly report.
WordPress is not a "build it once and forget it" platform. WordPress itself, your theme and every plugin release new versions through the year, often to fix security holes. Each update has to be installed, and installed carefully, because a careless update can break a page or a contact form without anyone noticing.
Most business owners don't have the time to do this every month, and many only find out something went wrong when a customer tells them. WordPress website maintenance is how you stop that from happening.
What is included in the WordPress maintenance plan?
Six jobs, done every month, so your website stays safe, working and quick.
Safe updates
WordPress core, plugins and your theme are updated regularly. We back up first, then check your key pages and forms afterwards, so an update never quietly breaks something.
Regular backups
Full backups of your website files and database, so the site can be restored if anything goes wrong. A fresh backup is also taken before every round of updates.
Security monitoring
Malware scans, login protection and security hardening to close the common doors attackers try. If something looks wrong, you hear it from us first, not from a customer.
Uptime monitoring
Your website is checked automatically around the clock. If it goes down, we're alerted and start looking into the cause.
Speed and health checks
Page speed and Core Web Vitals are checked and reported, and the database is cleaned of the clutter that slowly makes WordPress heavier.
Monthly report
A short report each month: what was updated, backup status, security results and anything that needs your attention, written so a non-technical owner can follow it.
How much does WordPress maintenance cost in India?
Monthly WordPress maintenance plans from Indian agencies range widely, from about ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 a month, depending on how much support time, backup frequency and response speed are included. Our plan is one flat price: ₹7,000 + GST per month for one WordPress website.

Why does a WordPress website need monthly maintenance?
Because most WordPress security problems come from plugins and themes, not from WordPress itself. In 2025, security company Patchstack recorded 11,334 new WordPress vulnerabilities: 91% in plugins, 9% in themes and only 6 in WordPress core. Updates close those holes, but only once someone installs them.
Security holes stay open
An outdated plugin with a known weakness is one of the easiest ways into a WordPress site.
Things break silently
A plugin conflict or a hosting change can stop your contact form sending leads, and nobody notices for weeks.
Speed and rankings slip
Sites get slower as clutter builds up. Google's page experience signals include Core Web Vitals, so a slow, neglected site can cost you both visitors and rankings.
What happens during a month of WordPress maintenance?
The same five-step routine, every month, in the same safe order.
Back up the whole site
A full backup of files and database is saved before anything is touched.
Update WordPress, plugins and theme
Updates are applied in a sensible order, with anything risky reviewed first.
Test what matters
Key pages, menus and contact forms are checked. If an update causes a problem, it's rolled back and fixed.
Scan and monitor
Security scan, uptime monitoring and a speed check, so problems are spotted early.
Send your report
You get a short summary of what was done and anything that needs a decision from you.
What happens if you skip WordPress maintenance?
Usually nothing, until something goes wrong all at once. Here is how a neglected WordPress site compares with one on a monthly plan.
| Area | Without maintenance | With our WordPress Care Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Plugins and theme | Fall behind, with known security holes left open | Updated regularly and tested afterwards |
| Backups | Often missing, old or never tested | Regular backups, plus one before every update round |
| Hacks and malware | Found by customers, or by a browser warning on your site | Scanned and monitored, so problems are caught early |
| Contact forms | Can stop sending leads without anyone noticing | Checked after updates |
| Speed | Slowly gets heavier and slower | Checked, cleaned and reported every month |
| Your time | Spent fixing problems in a panic | Spent on your business |
Who is this WordPress maintenance plan for?
Any business that depends on its WordPress website but doesn't want to manage it.
Business and service websites
Clinics, schools, consultants, builders, manufacturers and local businesses whose website brings in enquiries.
Blogs and content sites
Sites with lots of posts and plugins, where speed and uptime affect traffic.
Small WooCommerce stores
Stores where a broken checkout means lost sales. Larger stores get their scope confirmed first.
Sites someone else built
Your developer has moved on or the agency is no longer around. We can take over the upkeep of an existing WordPress site.
How do you get started with WordPress maintenance?
Three simple steps, mostly on WhatsApp.
Send your website link
WhatsApp or call us with your website address and tell us anything that's bothering you about it.
We check and confirm
We look over the site, its plugins and hosting, flag anything urgent and confirm what the plan covers.
Care begins
We take the first full backup, run the first round of updates and security checks, and your monthly reports start.
What we'll need from you: a WordPress admin login and, ideally, access to your hosting control panel. You keep full control of your website and your accounts throughout.

Is the ₹7,000 price per website?
Yes. ₹7,000 + GST a month covers one WordPress website. If you have several sites, message us for a combined quote.
Is GST included in the price?
No. The plan is ₹7,000 a month plus GST, and you receive a GST invoice every month.
Do you maintain WordPress websites you didn't build?
Yes. It doesn't matter who built your site or which theme it uses. We review the site first and tell you about anything that needs fixing before regular maintenance begins.
Can WordPress updates break my website?
They can, which is why we take a backup first and test key pages and forms afterwards. If an update causes a problem, we roll it back and fix it before it affects your visitors.
What happens if my WordPress site gets hacked?
Monitoring and hardening make a hack far less likely. If one does happen, we restore a clean backup where possible and close the way the attacker got in. Sites that were already infected before joining the plan may need a separate clean-up quote.
My hosting company already takes backups. Do I still need this?
Host backups are useful, but how long they are kept, where they are stored and who restores them varies by host. We keep our own backups as well and handle the restore for you if one is ever needed.
Is hosting included in the plan?
No. You keep your current hosting and domain. We can advise if your hosting is slowing your site down.
Will I still be able to edit my own website?
Yes. You keep full admin access and can keep adding posts, pages and products as usual. We look after the technical upkeep in the background.
Do you support WooCommerce websites?
Yes, small WooCommerce stores are covered. For larger stores with many products or custom features, we confirm the scope before you start.
