Care Plan Health Check

Your Website Gets a Clean Bill of Health Before Care Begins

Your website has a history. Before we bring you on as a care plan client, we do a careful, point-by-point review of everything under the hood.

The WordPress website health check is a thorough technical audit that gives us a clear picture of exactly where your site stands. You will receive a jargon-free report covering every finding, what it means, and what needs to happen before your care plan coverage begins.

Your 9-Point WordPress Website Health Check

Every care plan onboarding begins with this thorough, point-by-point review of your site:

  2. Plugin audit covering all active and inactive plugins, update status, and any that are outdated or no longer maintained
  3. Conflict check identifying plugins known to cause site issues or conflict with one another
  4. Plugin replacement recommendations where needed (care plan clients get access to our premium plugin library)
  5. Plugin configuration review and updates where required

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a health check if my website is fairly new?

Yes. Every website we take on as a new care plan client requires a health check, regardless of age. It establishes a clean baseline and ensures your site is running on the correct foundation from day one.

Q: What if the audit reveals serious problems with my website?

Every finding is documented with clear, prioritized recommendations. For serious issues, we will walk you through your options and work together on the best path forward. Some complex remediation work may involve additional fees. See "What Happens After Your Health Check" below for a full breakdown.

Q: Can I stay on my current hosting provider?

Yes. Migration to our managed hosting environment (wpmudev) is included in your care plan at no extra cost, but it is entirely optional. Just let us know your preference after purchase.

Q: How long does the health check take?

We prioritize accuracy over speed. Each point is reviewed carefully, and every finding is documented with clear context. Your health check is typically completed within 3 to 5 business days of receiving your access credentials.

Q: Is this a one-time purchase?

Yes. The health check is a one-time $250 fee required before your care plan begins. It is not included in your monthly care plan cost.

What Happens After Your Health Check

The health check is your gateway to care plan coverage. Here is what to expect based on what we find.

If Your Site Gets a Clean Bill of Health

If everything checks out, with no critical issues, broken components, or outdated installations, we bring you on as a care plan client right away. No additional fees. Your $250 covers the full onboarding process.

If We Find Issues

Every finding is documented in your report with clear, prioritized recommendations. Routine items are addressed during the health check itself. For more complex situations, we will walk you through your options and work together on the best path forward.

Situations that may involve additional fees:

  • Plugins so far out of date that updating breaks the site (we will find a replacement or repair what breaks)
  • A WordPress installation that poses a security risk due to severely outdated core versions
  • Malware found on your site
  • Broken layouts or pages that need to be rebuilt

Malware removal:

If malware is found and you migrate to our WPMUDEV managed servers, we clean your site at no extra charge. If you prefer to keep your current hosting, malware removal is available as a separate service ($350).

No surprises. Whatever we find, we will walk you through it clearly so you can make a confident, informed decision about what comes next

Your Website Deserves a Strong Foundation

A well-maintained website is the backbone of your online presence. Knowing exactly where things stand before we take over gives you peace of mind and sets the stage for smooth, reliable care.
