WPER — WordPress Support Center

A WordPress site that
stopped updating is
the easiest target

WordPress is a proven, excellent tool — the problem is never the tool, it is neglect. One engagement covers the version upgrade, performance tuning, SEO and vulnerability assessment, and we prove the result with measured before/after reports.

Bank transfer ₩270,000 (VAT included) · PayPal $200 · Server hosting only (VPS · cloud)

  • Measured before/after report
  • Vulnerability fix report
  • A higher SEO score

You see the result, not just hear about it

Response time, before and after

A Redis object cache tuned to run alongside your Docker stack speeds up page loads, and we measure response time before and after under identical conditions so you can compare.

Vulnerabilities fixed, before and after

We work through a security checklist item by item, then show you a before-and-after comparison confirming that no known vulnerabilities are left.

A higher SEO score

We capture the auditing scores before and after, so the improvement is something you can check yourself.

Zero-downtime upgrades — here is how the work runs

A parallel cutover that never takes your service offline. The switch happens only after verification is completely finished.

Zero-downtime upgrade

We stand the new stack up in parallel on the same server and the same domain, and cut over only once verification is done — visitors keep using the site throughout.

Staging rehearsal

We rehearse the entire procedure on a copy of the production database first. Your live data is untouched until the cutover.

Staged upgrades + regression testing

Core, then theme, then plugins, then the database — and every flow with money in it, like checkout and forms, is re-verified against real scenarios.

Measured before and after, same conditions

We compare before and after using the median of three runs with the same tool under the same conditions — and we write down what did not improve, with the reason.

What the engagement covers

  • WordPress version upgrade

    Core, theme and plugins are brought current through a safe procedure, closing the known vulnerabilities.

  • PHP source refactoring

    We fix syntax that breaks on current PHP and call sites for removed APIs, and clean the source until it runs without warnings or errors.

  • Performance optimization

    Three cache layers go in: Redis object cache, nginx FastCGI page cache, and OPcache.

  • Technical SEO

    We review metadata, schema, sitemaps and indexing policy, and remove the technical penalties.

  • Security hardening

    PHP permissions and nginx settings are locked down, and intrusion paths — such as PHP execution inside the uploads directory — are closed.

  • Reproducible Docker deployment

    If the server has no Docker, we install Docker and its dependencies first, then hand over the docker-compose files so the same environment can be reproduced at any time.

How it works

  1. 1

    Application received

    Tell us your site address and server environment on the application form.

  2. 2

    Assessment shared

    We assess the current state, then confirm the scope and schedule with you.

  3. 3

    Payment

    Pay by bank transfer or PayPal. As soon as it clears, we email you a login for your progress page.

  4. 4

    Work and handover

    Submit your server credentials from inside the progress page and the work begins; when it is done we hand over, together with the before/after report.

InfraGuard · continuous monitoring

Do you need someone watching it every day?

The upgrade and the tuning are done once, but the server runs every day. InfraGuard watches your resources and services continuously and tells you about a problem before it becomes an incident.

  • 44 detection rulesets
  • 36 security checks · graded A–F
  • 16 notification adapters + webhooks
  • Monitoring

    CPU, memory and disk health, web status codes and latency, database load and sessions — all on one screen. Traffic and web availability are sampled every minute, host health every five.

  • Defense

    44 detection rulesets show you what matched and why, then threatening IPs are blocked automatically after a reputation lookup and a whitelist exemption pass.

  • Recovery

    Pick the targets and it writes the backup script and crontab line for you without exposing credentials, then assembles the restore command from the list of recovery points.

  • Operator tools

    Browser SSH on a real PTY, a key vault and remote probes let you inspect and fix things without logging into the box yourself.

Included by default for upgrade clients

One month of InfraGuard, free

Join the upgrade + optimization program and InfraGuard is installed alongside your Docker stack, running free for a month. There is nothing extra to sign up for, and if you would rather not have it, simply untick the box on your progress page after you join. When the trial ends it stops on its own — it never rolls into a charge.

Ticked by default · untick it on your progress page and we skip the install

After the trial ₩120,000 / mo · PayPal $80 / mo

1, 3, 6 and 12-month passes · longer terms cost less per month

Frequently asked questions

Does my site go down while you work?

No. Everything is verified in a cloned environment before it touches the live server, and we agree the cutover for your quietest hours. If a step genuinely needs downtime — swapping the PHP version, for example — we tell you beforehand, and it is normally a matter of minutes.

What kind of hosting do you need?

Server hosting with root or sudo access — a VPS, a cloud instance (AWS, GCP, Vultr and so on) or a dedicated server. We do not take on shared web hosting such as cPanel: without permission to configure Docker, Redis and nginx we cannot deliver what we promised.

How do I know performance actually improves?

같은 URL 을 같은 조건에서 작업 전/후 각 3회 측정한 중앙값으로 리포트를 드립니다. 응답 속도 · DB 쿼리 수 · Lighthouse 점수를 수치로 비교하며, 개선되지 않은 항목도 이유와 함께 그대로 적습니다.

Do you take a backup?

A full backup of files and database is made before anything begins. We only work from a position where the previous state can be restored immediately if something goes wrong.

How do I pay?

By Korean bank transfer at ₩270,000 including VAT, or by PayPal at $200 USD. For a transfer we send the next instructions once it clears; with PayPal they follow immediately. Work begins after payment is confirmed.

What if it slows down or breaks again afterwards?

For two weeks after delivery we fix defects in the same scope at no charge. You also keep the Docker configuration files, so the identical environment can be reproduced at any time — which makes the next round of maintenance cheaper too.
