Website Maintenance & Security.
Patching, backups, monitoring and fixes handled for you, so your website stays fast, up to date and protected, and you hear about problems before your customers do.
What does website maintenance and security include?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site secure, fast and working: applying software and security updates, monitoring uptime, taking and testing backups, fixing bugs and tuning performance. Critical flaws, such as the PHP vulnerabilities patched in October 2026, make quick patching essential. Qodexify offers monthly plans from roughly $200–$4,000 per month depending on the size and risk of your site.
What’s included
What your plan covers
Patching and updates
Server runtime, CMS, plugins and dependencies kept current, with critical fixes applied quickly.
Backups you can restore
Automated off-site backups with regular restore tests, because an untested backup is a hope, not a plan.
Uptime and performance monitoring
Alerts for downtime, errors and slow pages, tracked against Core Web Vitals targets.
Security hardening
Access reviews, multi-factor authentication, firewall rules, malware scanning and secure configuration.
Fixes and small changes
Bug fixes and small content or design updates handled within your plan.
Reporting and incident response
A monthly summary of what changed, plus a clear plan and contact if something goes wrong.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why do websites need maintenance?
Software ages, new vulnerabilities are found and plugins change. Without regular updates, sites become slow, break or get compromised.
Do you work on sites you did not build?
Yes. We start with an audit of what is there and tell you plainly what needs fixing first.
What happens if my site is hacked?
We isolate the site, find how they got in, restore from a clean backup, remove the weakness and rotate credentials. Plans include a response procedure.
How fast do you apply critical security updates?
We target days, not weeks, for critical fixes, after testing them where it is practical.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Maintenance plans run month to month, and we provide documentation so you can hand the site to another team.
Does this guarantee my site cannot be attacked?
No one can promise that. Maintenance and hardening greatly reduce risk and make recovery faster.
