WordPress maintenance: updates, backups, monitoring and security hardening

Who needs WordPress maintenance

You have a working site and no real plan for keeping it that way.

Sound WordPress maintenance applies the practices in the WordPress hardening guide consistently, rather than once at launch and never again.
