The WordPress Maintenance Burden

WordPress sites need constant attention. Updates, backups, security patches, compatibility checks—it never ends. Most site owners either spend hours doing it themselves or pay someone else to do it.

Time Drain

Average WordPress site needs 4-6 hours of maintenance per month. That's time taken away from growing your business.

Update Anxiety

Every update carries risk. A bad plugin update can break your site, lose data, or take your business offline.

Plugin Conflicts

Updating one plugin can break another. Debugging compatibility issues is a constant headache.

Backup Failures

Many backup plugins fail silently. You only discover the problem when you actually need to restore.

Safe, Automated Updates

G7Cloud doesn't just blindly apply updates. Our platform tests updates in a safe environment before deploying them to your live site, with automatic rollback if anything goes wrong.

1

Update Detection

New WordPress core, plugin, and PHP updates are detected automatically as they're released.

2

Compatibility Check

Updates are tested against your site's specific configuration to identify potential conflicts.

3

Pre-Update Backup

A full backup is taken immediately before any update is applied, ensuring a safe restore point.

4

Safe Deployment

Updates are applied during low-traffic periods to minimise any potential impact on visitors.

5

Post-Update Verification

Automated checks confirm your site is functioning correctly after the update is applied.

6

Instant Rollback

If anything goes wrong, the platform automatically rolls back to the pre-update backup.
