WordPress Maintenance That Prevents Problems Before They Cost You Money
I'm Usman Tayyab, a senior WordPress engineer who fixes what agencies overlook — security gaps, slow queries, brittle plugins — then keeps it that way with proactive monthly care. No ticket queues. No juniors. Direct access to the person doing the work.
Built on the tools serious WordPress work runs on
A senior engineer, not a support ticket queue
Most "maintenance agencies" route you through juniors and canned macros. You get one person who reads the code, understands the stack, and takes responsibility for the outcome.
Security First
Every engagement starts with a hardening pass — firewall rules, least-privilege access, and monitoring — not just a plugin install.
Performance Expert
Core Web Vitals, database query optimization, and caching strategy — tuned to your actual hosting environment.
Custom Development
Real PHP, not just page-builder assembly. Custom plugins and theme code when off-the-shelf can't do what you need.
Fast Response
Hacked site or a broken checkout at 2am? Emergency requests get triaged same-day, not next sprint.
Transparent Communication
Plain-English updates, monthly reports, and a direct line to me — not a support widget forwarding your message.
Senior WordPress Engineer
Currently Team Lead at a WordPress agency, plus 4+ years shipping plugins with 40,000+ combined installs — not just certificates.
Long-Term Support
Maintenance plans are built for a relationship, not a one-off invoice — I'm still around six months after launch.

A hacked site isn't a plugin problem — it's a process problem
Cleanup without hardening just means round two. Every security engagement covers detection, removal, and the process changes that keep it from happening again.
Malware Detection & Removal
File-level scanning to find injected code, not just a surface-level plugin scan.
Firewall & Hardening
Web application firewall rules, login hardening, and file-permission cleanup.
Backups & Recovery
Off-site, versioned backups so a bad update or attack is a rollback, not a crisis.
Ongoing Monitoring & Audits
Continuous uptime and file-integrity monitoring, plus periodic security audits.
Speed is an engineering problem, not a plugin
Caching plugins alone rarely fix a slow WordPress site. I look at the full stack — server, database, code, and delivery — and fix the actual bottleneck.

No black box. You know what's happening at every stage.

What clients say after the work is done
Illustrative testimonials pending client permission for published quotes — see portfolio for verified project details.
4+ years, 40,000+ combined plugin installs, and currently leading the technical team at a WordPress agency — custom development, speed, security and migrations.
I've shipped real WordPress plugins — you can check the code
Most agencies ask you to trust a portfolio PDF. I'd rather you look at the actual code: open-source plugins on GitHub, active freelance work on Upwork, and a track record built one fixed site at a time.
This isn't a side gig between other jobs — WordPress engineering is the whole focus, from core updates to custom PHP that page builders can't touch.
