What it takes
A healthy WordPress site takes more than clicking "update"
Keeping a site fast, secure and stable is ongoing engineering work. Here's what we handle for you.
Diagnose and fix plugin conflicts
We find out why plugins are interfering with each other, and fix it.
Work with plugin developers
When a third-party plugin breaks, we give its developers the technical details they need to fix it.
Apply security patches and updates
We keep the whole stack current: server, web server, PHP, WordPress and plugins.
Tune caching
Every caching layer is configured for your site and your traffic.
Block malicious traffic and bots
We stop scrapers, attack tools and botnets before they drag your site down.
Why Tecture
Developers who know WordPress from the inside
Expert plugin developers
We know the WordPress backend and its architecture inside and out. When something goes wrong, we know exactly where to look and how to fix it.
Serious about security
We take security so seriously that we built Bottle, our own free, open-source security plugin for blocking bots and malicious traffic.
Capabilities
Everything your WordPress site needs to run well
Caching, layer by layer
There are several layers to caching, and each one needs tuning:
PHP opcache tuning. Compiled PHP is cached here, which means tuning cache size, memory and the number of strings.
Object caching. WordPress and many plugins use it to cut unnecessary database calls. Redis is our preferred solution.
Page caching. Static or rarely changing pages can be stored on disk or in memory. Transactional or dynamic pages can't be cached.
File caching. Browsers are told to cache images, CSS, JavaScript and other files. Depending on traffic, we can also set up a content delivery network (CDN).
