Website Maintenance Services That Keep Your Business Website Running
Your website is one of your most valuable business assets, but it needs ongoing attention to stay secure, fast, and functional. Khan Digital Tech provides professional website maintenance services for WordPress, WooCommerce, CMS platforms, and custom-built websites—from updates and security reviews to verified backup planning, monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance care.
Whether you're an online retailer, a growing business, or an agency managing several sites, maintenance should fit the platform, the risks, and the agreed support schedule—not a generic checklist.
Our Core Website Maintenance Services
Three coordinated areas of website care, scoped around what your site actually needs.
WordPress, WooCommerce & CMS Maintenance
From core updates to theme and plugin compatibility, we keep your WordPress, WooCommerce, or CMS-powered website running smoothly. Our process includes staging environment testing, compatibility checks, and rollback planning, so updates don't disrupt your live site. For online stores, we test checkout flows, payment compatibility, order handling, and HPOS compatibility to help keep your store functioning as expected.
Website Security, Backups & Recovery Support
Website threats evolve constantly, which is why we perform regular security reviews and hardening to help reduce vulnerabilities. If your site has been compromised, our team investigates and works to clean up malware and support your recovery efforts. We also schedule regular backups and test restores, because a backup is only useful if it actually works when you need it.
Website Monitoring, Speed & Technical Support
We monitor your website's uptime and respond when issues are detected, helping you catch problems before they impact your visitors. Our team also works on improving website speed and Core Web Vitals, fixing bugs, and troubleshooting technical issues as they arise, with support covering hosting, servers, domains, and the many moving parts that keep your site operational.
Comprehensive Website Maintenance Solutions
Practical support for the technical systems your visitors and customers depend on.
Ongoing Website Maintenance & Technical Support
Websites aren't a "set it and forget it" asset. They require continuous technical care to stay functional, secure, and aligned with your business needs. Our ongoing website maintenance and technical support services give you a dedicated team to turn to for updates, troubleshooting, and day-to-day technical questions. Rather than scrambling to find help when something breaks, you'll have a maintenance plan in place that covers the recurring tasks your site needs. This is distinct from new development or redesign work. Maintenance services focus on keeping your existing site healthy and current, while new features or site overhauls fall under separate development engagements. We'll work with you to understand your platform, your priorities, and the cadence of support that makes sense for your business.
WordPress Core, Theme & Plugin Updates
Outdated WordPress core files, themes, and plugins are among the most common sources of security vulnerabilities and site breakages. We manage these updates methodically, testing changes in a staging environment before applying them to your live site. This helps catch compatibility issues, such as a plugin conflict or a theme function that no longer works as expected, before they affect your visitors. If an update does cause a problem, we have rollback plans in place to help minimize downtime and restore functionality. Our approach balances the need to stay current with security patches against the risk of introducing instability, so your website remains both protected and dependable over time.
WooCommerce Maintenance & Store Compatibility
Running an online store means your website maintenance needs extend beyond standard WordPress care. We test your checkout process regularly to confirm it's functioning correctly, verify payment gateway compatibility, and review order handling workflows to catch disruptions before they affect sales. As WooCommerce continues to evolve, including the shift toward High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), we help assess and support your store's compatibility with these changes. E-commerce downtime or checkout errors can directly impact revenue, which is why ongoing WooCommerce maintenance is a priority for retailers relying on their site for sales. We work to identify compatibility issues between your store, theme, and plugins, helping reduce the risk of unexpected disruptions to your customers' shopping experience.
CMS & Custom Website Maintenance
Not every website runs on WordPress. We also support websites built on other content management systems and custom-coded platforms. Our team reviews your site's architecture, dependencies, and update requirements, then develops a maintenance approach suited to your specific platform rather than applying a one-size-fits-all process. Custom websites often have unique integrations, bespoke functionality, or legacy code that require careful handling during updates. We take the time to understand these nuances before making changes, helping to reduce the risk of breaking functionality that your business depends on. Whether your site is built on a common CMS or a fully custom stack, ongoing technical maintenance helps keep it secure and operational.
Website Security Reviews & Hardening
Security isn't a one-time setup. It's an ongoing process of reviewing your website's configuration, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and applying hardening measures to help reduce risk. We review areas such as file permissions, login protections, outdated software components, and known vulnerability patterns associated with your platform. While no website can be guaranteed permanently secure, regular security reviews help identify and address weaknesses before they're exploited. We take a proactive approach, combining periodic reviews with the broader maintenance work we perform, such as keeping software updated, to help reduce your website's exposure to common attack vectors over time.
Malware Investigation, Cleanup & Recovery
If you suspect your website has been compromised, our team investigates to identify signs of malware, unauthorized changes, or suspicious activity. Where malware is found, we work to clean up the affected files and support your site's recovery process. We also review how the compromise occurred to help address the underlying vulnerability. It's important to note that the extent of recovery depends on the specifics of the compromise. Not every website can be fully restored, and in some cases, data loss may occur depending on the severity of the incident. Having reliable backups in place significantly improves recovery outcomes, which is why we recommend pairing security services with a solid backup strategy.
Website Backup Scheduling & Restore Testing
A backup you've never tested is a backup you can't fully trust. We help set up regular backup schedules for your website's files and database, and just as importantly, we test restores to confirm those backups actually work when needed. This two-part approach, scheduling plus verification, is central to a dependable backup strategy. Recovery outcomes depend on the backup coverage in place at the time of an issue. If a backup is incomplete, outdated, or wasn't capturing the right data, restoration may be limited. We work with you to establish a backup routine aligned with how frequently your site changes, helping improve your readiness in the event of a problem.
Website Uptime Monitoring & Incident Response
Downtime can mean lost customers, lost revenue, and damaged trust. Our uptime monitoring services check your website's availability at regular intervals, alerting our team when an issue is detected so we can begin investigating. When a site goes down, response time matters, and having monitoring in place means problems are identified faster than if you were waiting for a customer to report them. It's worth noting that monitoring frequency is not the same as guaranteed uptime. Monitoring tells us when a problem has occurred so we can respond quickly, but it does not eliminate the underlying risk of server issues, hosting outages, or other factors outside our direct control.
Website Speed & Core Web Vitals Optimization
Website speed affects user experience, conversion rates, and search visibility. We review your site's performance, looking at factors like image optimization, caching configuration, script loading, and server response times, then make targeted improvements to help your pages load faster. We also pay close attention to Core Web Vitals, the metrics Google uses to assess user experience quality. Every website is different, and the results of optimization work depend on your starting point, platform, hosting environment, and content. We focus on implementing recognized best practices and measurable improvements rather than promising a specific speed gain, since performance outcomes vary based on factors unique to each site.
Website Bug Fixing & Troubleshooting
Broken layouts, malfunctioning forms, scripts that stop working after an update: website bugs come in many forms, and they often appear unexpectedly. Our team investigates reported issues, identifies the root cause, and implements fixes to restore proper functionality. This includes troubleshooting conflicts between plugins, themes, or custom code that may be causing unexpected behavior. Having a maintenance partner for bug fixing means you're not left searching for help every time something goes wrong. We approach each issue methodically, testing fixes before deploying them to your live site, so we can address the problem without introducing new complications elsewhere on your website.
Website Hosting, Server & Domain Support
Your hosting environment, server configuration, and domain settings all play a role in your website's reliability. We provide support across these technical layers, helping with tasks like server resource reviews, hosting configuration questions, and domain-related troubleshooting, so these foundational elements don't become a source of ongoing headaches. While we don't control your hosting provider's infrastructure directly, we help you navigate hosting-related issues, liaise with providers where needed, and advise on configuration changes that may improve your site's stability. This support is especially valuable for businesses without in-house technical staff to manage these details.
Database Maintenance & Optimization
Your website's database stores everything from page content to customer orders, and over time, it can accumulate unnecessary data that slows things down. We perform database maintenance tasks such as cleaning up redundant data, optimizing tables, and reviewing database health to help support smoother site performance. Regular database maintenance also supports other areas of your website's upkeep, including backup efficiency and overall site speed. For e-commerce and content-heavy websites in particular, a well-maintained database is an important part of keeping the site responsive as it continues to grow over time.
Broken Links, Forms & Website Functionality Checks
Broken links and non-functioning forms create a frustrating experience for visitors and can quietly undermine your website's credibility. We periodically review your site for broken internal and external links, test contact forms and other interactive elements, and check that core functionality is working as intended. These checks help catch issues that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as a contact form that's silently failing to send submissions, or a navigation link pointing to a page that no longer exists. Addressing these issues proactively helps keep your website functioning reliably for the visitors and customers who depend on it.
SSL/TLS Certificate & HTTPS Configuration Checks
A valid SSL/TLS certificate and properly configured HTTPS are essential for both security and visitor trust. We monitor certificate status to help catch expirations before they cause browser warnings, and we review your HTTPS configuration to identify issues like mixed content warnings that can undermine the secure connection your certificate is meant to provide. Certificate and configuration issues can be easy to overlook until a visitor encounters a security warning on your site. Including these checks as part of ongoing maintenance helps reduce the chances of this happening, supporting both your website's security posture and the confidence of the people visiting it.
Website Accessibility & Usability Reviews
An accessible, usable website serves a wider audience and often performs better overall. We review your website against common accessibility considerations, such as color contrast, navigation structure, and content readability, and assess usability factors that affect how visitors interact with your site. These reviews help identify areas where your website could be more inclusive or easier to navigate, offering practical recommendations for improvement. While accessibility and usability are ongoing considerations rather than one-time fixes, incorporating regular reviews into your maintenance plan helps ensure your site continues to serve all your visitors effectively.
Website Content & Technical Update Support
Beyond behind-the-scenes technical work, we also provide support for routine content and technical updates to your website. This can include updating text, images, or pages, as well as making small technical adjustments that keep your site current and accurate without requiring a full development project. This support is particularly useful for businesses that need ongoing changes but don't have the in-house resources to handle them. It's worth noting that larger content overhauls, new feature development, or full redesigns fall outside the scope of maintenance support and would be addressed as separate projects.
Website Health Reporting & Maintenance Planning
Understanding your website's condition over time helps you make informed decisions about its upkeep. We provide website health reporting that summarizes the maintenance work performed, flags areas of concern, and outlines recommendations for ongoing care. This gives you visibility into what's being done and why it matters. From there, we help develop a maintenance plan tailored to your website's platform, complexity, and business needs. Rather than a generic checklist, your plan reflects the specific priorities of your site, whether that's security-focused upkeep for a WooCommerce store or performance optimization for a content-heavy publisher.

Our Step-by-Step Website Maintenance Process
A structured approach, with frequency, access, and response expectations agreed before work begins.
Website Discovery & Maintenance Requirements
We review your website, content platform, hosting access, third-party dependencies, operational priorities, and existing support arrangements. The result is a realistic picture of what routine maintenance should cover and what belongs in a separate development project.
Technical Audit & Risk Assessment
We inspect available update history, component versions, form and checkout functionality, security signals, performance symptoms, and relevant error logs. Findings are prioritized according to potential impact, business importance, and required access.
Backup & Recovery Planning
Before high-risk changes, we assess backup coverage, retention, access, and restoration options. Where included in scope, restore testing verifies that recovery steps work; active WooCommerce orders and customer data require special caution.
Update & Compatibility Review
Core, theme, plugin, extension, and runtime updates are evaluated for compatibility. We favor staged changes, pre-update backups, checkout testing where relevant, and a rollback plan over blind bulk updates.
Security, Performance & Functionality Checks
We review access protections, HTTPS, known vulnerabilities, website health, and performance metrics, then check critical forms, menus, login paths, and purchasing workflows as appropriate to the site.
Bug Fixing & Technical Improvements
Issues are investigated, prioritized, corrected, and tested against the agreed scope. Complex new modules, major redesigns, or extensive replatforming are separately evaluated and quoted rather than silently classified as routine maintenance.
Monitoring, Reporting & Recommendations
Relevant logs, checks, alerts, and health indicators are reviewed according to the agreed monitoring schedule. Reports outline changes made, unresolved risks, and recommended next actions without claiming guaranteed uptime.
Ongoing Maintenance Scheduling & Review
We revisit maintenance frequency, approval steps, support windows, access arrangements, and evolving site requirements. Any emergency response commitment or service level must be defined explicitly in the agreement.
