Performance & security

## Fast, safe and _up to date._

Potential customers leave when a site is down, too slow or awkward to use on a phone.
Search engines notice too. Speed and security are not extras. They are the foundation
every other investment in your site depends on.

If you don’t update your website regularly, you can be hacked. WordPress and Adobe
Commerce are widely adopted platforms, which makes them common targets, so keeping
software and hosting current is essential. We make speed and security part of how
your site is built and maintained, not a fire drill after something breaks.

Performance

## Keep your site running _fast._

Our optimization work covers the whole stack:

 * Addressing issues in the hosting environment
 * Optimizing images and media
 * Adding page, object and CDN caching
 * Making code and database queries more performant
 * Cleaning up bloat, such as duplicate post meta

On new projects we build for performance from day one. On existing sites we audit
first, find where the time is going and fix the biggest problems before the small
ones.

Security

## Hardened against _attacks._

### Security audits & updates

We routinely monitor and audit your site for security issues and apply critical 
updates to your software and hosting environment.

### Preventative maintenance

A routine fixed-rate service updates your core software and all third-party plugins
or extensions, with scans to keep the site secure and performant.

### Privacy compliance

GDPR and CCPA have become necessary for every new website. We make sure your site
handles personal data the way these laws require.

### Firewall tuning

We use Cloudflare to monitor traffic and tune firewall rules, throttling bots and
blocking bad actors before they reach your site.

Infrastructure

## Hosting that pulls its _weight._

Many performance and security problems start at the server. Through [Infinite Source](https://ip.ipdev2.cloud/services/managed-wordpress-hosting/),
our cloud hosting for WordPress and WooCommerce, we offer edge caching, CDN, firewall,
DDoS protection and daily backups on WP Cloud infrastructure.

If you host elsewhere, we work with your provider to get the environment right.

FAQ

## Common _questions._

How do you find out why our site is slow?

We start with measurement: page speed tests, server response times, slow queries
and the weight of images and scripts. Then we fix the biggest problems first and
measure again.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress can scale to enterprise needs and is consistently audited for security.
Most problems come from outdated plugins, weak hosting or skipped updates, which
is exactly what routine maintenance prevents.

Do you offer ongoing security monitoring?

Yes. We monitor, audit and update your site as part of an [ongoing support and maintenance](https://ip.ipdev2.cloud/services/website-support-maintenance/)
plan.

Can you speed up a Shopify store?

Shopify handles hosting, but themes, apps and media still affect speed. We review
them and streamline what is slowing the store down.
