WordPress Updates, Managed Properly.
Start Managed UpdatesStop worrying about updates breaking your site
We safely manage WordPress and plugin updates for you, with backups, checks, and monitoring built in, so your website stays secure, stable, and looked after without you needing to log in.
This service is ideal if you want your site kept up to date and monitored, without committing to a full support contract.
What “Managed Updates” Actually Means
Anyone can click the update button.
What matters is what happens if something goes wrong.
Our managed update service removes the risk by wrapping every update in checks, backups, and monitoring.
Managed WordPress Updates
Scheduled Updates
- Daily or weekly updates (you choose the schedule)
- Updates applied at a consistent, agreed time
- No forgotten plugins or overdue updates
Automatic Backups
- Full site backup before every update
- Post-update backup once everything is confirmed working
- Peace of mind knowing you’re covered either way
If your site isn’t hosted with Toast, we’ll ensure suitable backups are in place before onboarding.
Safe Update Checks
- Visual checks on up to 5 key pages
- Detects layout changes, errors, or broken content
- Alerts triggered if changes exceed your chosen threshold
Safe Update Alerts
- Email alerts if an update causes a visible issue
- Problems caught early — not weeks later by a customer
Update Emails (Optional)
- Automated update notifications handled by us
- You don’t get spammed with technical emails
- We keep the noise off your plate
24/7 Proactive Uptime Monitoring
Your site is monitored around the clock, not just when you happen to check it.
What this means for you:
- Continuous monitoring, day and night
- Immediate alerts if your site goes down
- Proactive action to investigate and resolve issues
- Clear reporting after any fix
In short:
No more wondering if your site is offline without you knowing.

Prefer Expert Help on Hand?
As a retained client, you also get access to our reduced support and development rate. If you need help with a change, a fix, or a quick question, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re speaking to someone who already knows your site.
Retained clients pay £60 per hour instead of £80, effectively £1 a minute for experienced, UK-based WordPress support when you need it.
It’s a simple benefit, but one that makes day-to-day website issues quicker, calmer, and far less stressful to deal with.

Here’s what SiteCare customers think
“I had a good feeling about using Toast from their website and initial consultantion call. Since using them for a few weeks I can say they are excellent. Their communication is comprehensive but not over-technical with clear recommendations. They are also quick and the most transparent logging of time I’ve ever seen in dealing with IT people/developers. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been great but a special to mention to Charlotte who’s done a lot for the site in a super-efficient way. Very happy customer. Thanks!”

Why This Is Worth It
Updating WordPress is simple — until it isn’t.
That’s why managed updates are one of the most common reasons businesses choose professional WordPress support.
Most issues happen when:
- An update conflicts with a plugin
- A theme behaves unexpectedly
- Something breaks quietly and goes unnoticed
This service removes:
- The responsibility to remember updates
- The anxiety of “what if it breaks?”
- The risk of problems going undetected
