Joomla Maintenance & Updates
Core, template and extension updates applied and tested on a schedule — so keeping your Joomla site current never gets forgotten about, and never breaks something else when it happens.

Everything a Well-Maintained Joomla Site Needs
Not just "we'll click update" — a proper maintenance process, applied on a schedule and checked afterwards.
Core Joomla updates
Every core release applied promptly, including security patches — never left "for later".
Template & extension updates
Every installed extension and your template kept current, not just the CMS core.
Staging test first
On Growth and Priority, updates are tested on a private staging copy before they touch your live site.
Off-site backups
Automated backups before every update, stored off-server, on a schedule that matches your plan.
24/7 uptime monitoring
Your site is checked continuously — if it goes down, we usually know before you do.
Security & malware scanning
Regular scans catch injected code or compromised files early, not months after the fact.
Performance & speed checks
On Growth and Priority, we keep an eye on page speed and flag anything slowing your site down.
Monthly report
On Priority, a plain-English monthly summary of what was updated, checked and fixed.
Most Joomla hacks exploit updates that were never applied
Security researchers consistently find that successful attacks on CMS sites tend to target known, already-patched vulnerabilities — the fix existed, it just hadn't been installed yet.
Untested updates are their own risk
An extension update can just as easily break your site as fix it. That's why Growth and Priority plans test on staging first — updating safely matters as much as updating at all.
Small, regular fixes cost less than one big rescue
A site that's fallen years behind on updates is far more expensive and risky to bring current than one kept up to date a little at a time, every month.
How Your Monthly Maintenance Actually Runs
The same repeatable process every time — so updates stop being a source of anxiety and just become routine.
Backup first — a fresh off-site backup is taken before anything is touched, so there's always a safe point to roll back to.
Update on schedule — Joomla core, your template and every installed extension are brought current, in the right order.
Test the result — on Growth and Priority this happens on staging first; either way, the live site is checked over after every update.
Confirm & report — you hear from us only if something needs a decision; Priority clients also get a monthly summary of everything done.
