Security
Outdated plugins and themes are the number-one way WordPress sites get hacked. Automated bots scan constantly for vulnerable software — regular updates close those gaps before they're exploited.

Wingman Website Care Plans
Your website doesn’t stop needing attention after launch day. WordPress sites require regular updates, security monitoring, backups, and performance checks — and skipping that maintenance creates real problems. Wingman Website Care Plans handle all of it, so you can focus on running your aviation business instead of managing your website yourself. Every plan includes managed hosting, plugin licenses, auto-updating legal pages, privacy-focused analytics, and monthly health reports. You pick the tier. We handle the rest.
Why It Matters
Why Your Website Needs Ongoing Maintenance
A WordPress website runs on layers of software — the WordPress core, a theme, plugins, PHP, and server software. Each layer receives regular updates for security patches, bug fixes, and compatibility improvements. When those updates don’t get applied, problems stack up.
Performance
Software updates often include speed improvements. Skipping them means your site gradually slows down — and slow sites lose both visitors and search rankings.
Compatibility
WordPress, PHP, and plugins all evolve on their own timelines. When one piece updates and the others don't, things break. Managed updates keep everything working together.
Backups
Even with strong security, things can go wrong — a bad update, an honest mistake, or an edge-case conflict. A recent backup means your site gets restored quickly instead of rebuilt from scratch.
What’s Included
What’s Included in Every Plan
Regardless of which tier you choose, every Wingman Care Plan covers the essentials.
Managed Cloud Hosting
Your site runs on enterprise-grade servers with an SSL certificate, CDN, and DNS management included.
WordPress Updates
Core, plugin, and theme updates are tested for compatibility before being applied to your live site.
Small Business Security Suite
Your site is protected by a firewall, vulnerability scanning every 6 hours, intrusion prevention, DDoS protection, and virtual patching that blocks exploits targeting known vulnerabilities — even before an official plugin update is available.
Nightly Backups
Your site is backed up daily to three independent locations — the server, offsite cloud storage, and a third-party backup with 50-day retention
SSL and Domain Monitoring
We watch your certificate and domain expiration dates so nothing lapses unexpectedly.
Premium Licenses
Your page builder, CSS framework, forms, SEO, image optimization, custom fields, and more are all included while your plan is active.
Auto-Updating Legal Pages
Your Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy update automatically via Termageddon as privacy laws change. You have full access to your account and are responsible for reviewing content with your own legal counsel.
Privacy-Focused Analytics
Track your traffic, top pages, and referral sources via Plausible without cookie consent banners or sharing visitor data with third parties. Delivered via email summaries, a live dashboard, and an admin widget.
Monthly Health Reports
Uptime, security scans, update log, backup status, SSL/domain status, and a Core Web Vitals snapshot — delivered by the 5th business day of each month.
Dedicated Email Delivery
Form submissions and site notifications are routed through Postmark so they reach your inbox, not spam folders.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a care plan is a big decision. If something isn’t clear, just ask.
You can — but the risk is in what happens when an update breaks something. We test updates for compatibility before applying them. We also handle server management, security monitoring, backups, and analytics — tasks that require tools and expertise beyond clicking “update.”
Your care plan covers all premium software used to build and run your site — page builder, CSS framework, custom fields, forms, email delivery, SEO, image optimization, media organization, analytics, legal pages, backups, and code snippets. You don’t need to purchase or renew any of these while your plan is active.
Traffic, top pages, referral sources, and visitor geography — the data you actually need. Unlike Google Analytics, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, doesn’t require a consent banner, and doesn’t share your visitors’ information with third parties. Under 1KB, so it doesn’t slow your site down.
DMARC prevents other people from sending emails that look like they came from your domain. Without it, scammers can spoof your email address. DMARC monitoring watches your domain’s email authentication and alerts us to spoofing attempts or deliverability issues.
A technical review of your website’s search engine readiness. We crawl your site and check for missing or duplicate page titles, broken links, missing image alt text, unoptimized meta descriptions, oversized images, and page speed factors. You’ll receive a summary of what’s working, what needs attention, and recommended fixes. This is a technical health check, not an SEO strategy engagement — it tells you whether the foundation is solid so search engines can properly crawl and index your site. Multi-Engine plans include a quarterly audit. Single Engine plans may receive a semi-annual audit when unused task credits are available.
We build every site with accessibility in mind, following WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) as our baseline — semantic HTML, proper heading structure, keyboard navigation, alt text, and color contrast. As part of your care plan, we keep an eye on accessibility as plugins and content change over time. If you need a formal accessibility audit or WCAG conformance certification, we can connect you with a third-party specialist.
Your plan includes 25,000 monthly visits and 5 GB of disk storage. Occasional traffic spikes are fine — we won’t throttle your site or charge overage fees for a busy month. If your traffic consistently exceeds 25,000 visits for three or more months, we’ll discuss adjusting your hosting to match your growth. For storage, we’ll notify you at 80% capacity and recommend image optimization first.
Routine website work — updating text or images, changing links, troubleshooting errors, evaluating plugins, and answering questions. Each task is 15 minutes. Unused tasks don’t roll over. Additional work is billed at your plan’s hourly rate, always with an estimate first.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, which makes it a frequent target for automated attacks. Core, themes, and plugins all release updates that patch security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, and maintain compatibility. Skipping updates doesn’t just mean missing new features — it means leaving known security holes open. We test updates for compatibility before applying them so your live site stays stable.
Security reduces risk. Backups eliminate it. Even with a firewall, vulnerability scanning, and regular updates, things can go wrong — a plugin conflict, an accidental deletion, or a sophisticated attack. Your site is backed up to three independent locations daily (hourly on Multi-Engine), with 50-day retention. If anything happens, we restore your site quickly rather than rebuilding from scratch.
Yes. Most of what a care plan covers happens regardless of whether you touch your website. WordPress and plugins still release updates. Security threats still target your site. SSL certificates and domains still expire. Legal requirements still change. A site without maintenance becomes a security risk within months.
Yes. Month-to-month with 30 days’ written notice. You’ll receive a complete backup, DNS transfer help, and a list of licenses you’ll need to purchase on your own. Reactivation at current pricing with a $150 site health audit.
