WordPress System vs. Technical Support: A Complete Comparison + What Our Support Includes in Our Subscription Packages

WordPress is the top choice for websites and online stores thanks to its flexibility. But to run reliably, your site needs regular maintenance. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between systemic и technical support, we will point out where they overlap, and we will clarify exactly what our system maintenance in the subscription packages.

What is WordPress system maintenance?

System maintenance focuses on the website's infrastructure and core software layer, as well as on activities critical to its security and stability.

System support included in our subscription packages includes:

• Regularly Update all plugins on the website.
• Bug Fixes, caused directly by a plugin update.
• Monitoring of performance and server resources.
• Management and updating of PHP versions, SSL certificates, databases, and server components.
• Creating and restoring backups when system changes are made.
• Basic security at the server level and for the WordPress installation.

Important: System support does not include fixing bugs or issues caused by customers' actions while using their website.

Examples of such cases:

• Manual code changes by the client;
• Installing or removing plugins from the client;
• Edits related to this topic that result in incompatibility;
• Adding custom scripts or integrations without prior consultation.

These situations are treated as On-demand technical support or an extraordinary paid intervention.

• Correction of errors caused by user actions;
• SEO optimization, integrations, custom settings;
