WordPress Maintenance

WordPress maintenance you can watch happen, live

by Sven Kilcher·

No more monthly reports: with my WordPress maintenance you now see uptime, updates, backups and security scans live on your own status page.

WordPress maintenance you can watch happen, live

When I take care of your WordPress maintenance, most of it happens quietly in the background: I update plugins, run backups, and check security on a regular schedule. Until now, the only time you actually saw any of that was in a monthly report I emailed you.

I’m no longer sending that report — it’s being replaced with something better.

Your own status page

For every site I maintain, I’m now setting up a dedicated status page. Through a personal, unguessable link, you can see live how your website is doing, any time — no login required, no need to email me first.

On it, you’ll find:

  • Uptime over the last 30 days, shown as a live chart
  • The WordPress, PHP, and theme version currently in use
  • Your SSL certificate status
  • Results from the latest security scans
  • Your backup history, with dates and scope
  • A running log of the most recent updates I’ve installed

Everything that used to live only in my internal reports is now something I can show you, transparently, whenever you want to look.

Built for agency partners too

Some of my clients come through digital agencies I work with behind the scenes on WordPress maintenance. For those partnerships, I added two more pieces:

First, the agency’s clients see their status page in the agency’s own branding — their logo, colors, and contact details. I stay entirely invisible to their end clients.

Second, the agency itself gets an overview dashboard covering every site I maintain for them — average uptime, open issues like an SSL certificate nearing expiry, and a direct link into each site’s individual status page. That means an agency can hand off WordPress maintenance to me completely, without losing visibility into what’s happening.

Why I’m dropping the report

A monthly report was fine for record-keeping, but it never answered the question that actually matters: how is my site doing right now? By the time you read it, the numbers in it were already out of date. A status page solves that better than any report could — which is why it replaces the report entirely, rather than just adding to it.

On the technical side, I kept it deliberately lean: my monitoring and maintenance platform supply the raw data, which gets processed automatically and shown on your personal page. Uptime is pulled live at the moment you open the page, so the numbers are genuinely current — not just as fresh as the last rebuild.

What happens next

If I already handle WordPress maintenance for your site, you’ll receive your personal status page link from me within the next few days, replacing the maintenance report you used to get. New clients get theirs as part of onboarding.

Have questions about your status page, or interested in an agency partnership with white-label reporting? Reach out via the contact form — I’m happy to walk you through it live. For a full overview of my services, see my WordPress maintenance page.
