Your website is often the first thing a customer sees, and WordPress sites need regular care to stay secure. Because Compufix also manages business IT, we look after your website, domain, DNS and email together, so nothing falls between suppliers.
Common problems we help with
- Plugins and themes months out of date
- No recent backup of the website
- The original web designer is no longer available
- Website slow or occasionally offline
- Warnings from hosting about malware or resource usage
How Compufix solves it
We take a full backup, review plugins and hosting, then apply updates safely. From then on we update regularly, monitor uptime and security, and fix issues quickly. If your site is ever compromised, we already have the backups and knowledge to recover it.
One local partner for your website and your IT
Many Chester and North Wales businesses had a WordPress website built years ago and have not touched it since. Out-of-date plugins are one of the most common ways websites get hacked. Because we also look after domains, DNS and business email, we can resolve problems that sit between your website, hosting and Microsoft 365 without you chasing several suppliers.
