Is this for you?

Up Speed suits some people and not others. Rather than claim it is right for everyone, here is who it actually fits, and who should save their money.

Who it fits

Six situations this is built for

Drawn from the reasons people actually come looking for someone to maintain a WordPress site.

You got hacked

It already happened once

You have been through a cleanup and you do not want a second one. Malware scanning and 24/7 monitoring run on every plan, and Professional adds a Wordfence firewall, iThemes hardening and two-factor login.

Nobody is watching

Your last developer moved on

The person who built the site is not answering, and nothing has been updated in a year. We take the site over as it is, no rebuild and no migration required.

The site earns money

Downtime costs you per hour

Work out your monthly revenue divided by 730 and you have your hourly cost of being down. If that number stings, Premium carries a 1-hour emergency response.

Update anxiety

You are scared to click update

The button has bitten you before, so now nothing gets updated at all. We test updates before they go live and roll them back if one breaks something.

You run a store

WooCommerce raises the stakes

Checkout runs on plugins, you hold customer data, and a broken payment step does not look broken from the homepage. Stores need the tested-update discipline more than most sites.

It is not your job

You did not sign up to be an admin

You run a business. Someone has to keep the site patched, backed up and online, and it does not have to be you at 11pm.

Who it does not fit

When you should not buy this

Saying so now is cheaper for both of us than a refund conversation later.

Probably not

A hobby site with no traffic

If the site makes no money and nobody would notice it being down for a day, $99 a month is hard to justify. The free guides will get you most of the way.

Probably not

You have an in-house developer

If someone is already paid to watch the site and actually does, you are covered. We are for people who do not have that.

Probably not

You want a dashboard to work in

There is no Up Speed panel to log into. If you want a tool to operate yourself, ManageWP and similar are a better fit than we are.

Get started

Not sure which side you are on?

Send us your site and a real person will check its speed, security, backups and update status, then write up what they found. If the answer is that you do not need us, we will say so.
