Website care plans in Nigeria: keep your site fast, secure, and working
Your website is open for business 24 hours a day. But without regular maintenance, it quietly accumulates problems: outdated plugins, security vulnerabilities, slowing performance, broken links. Brela's care plans keep your WordPress website healthy, secure, and performing at its best every single month.
Your site needs ongoing care, not just a launch
WordPress powers over 40% of the web — and it’s one of the most targeted platforms for security exploits. An unmaintained site accumulates outdated plugins, unpatched vulnerabilities, and performance debt that compounds over time. Brela’s care plans keep your site updated, secure, and fast every month — so you can focus on your business instead of your website.
What happens when you ignore website maintenance
Most business owners build their website and then forget about it — until something breaks. Here’s what’s happening in the background on an unmaintained WordPress site.
Security vulnerabilities accumulate
WordPress core, themes, and plugins release security updates constantly. An unmaintained site running outdated software is an open door for hackers. Website hacks in Nigeria are increasingly common — and recovering from one costs significantly more than the maintenance that would have prevented it.
Performance degrades over time
Databases grow, cache builds up, plugins conflict with each other, and images accumulate without compression. A site that loaded in 2 seconds at launch can easily be loading in 5–6 seconds two years later — costing you visitors and Google rankings.
Plugins break each other
WordPress plugins update independently. Sometimes a plugin update breaks compatibility with another plugin — causing errors, missing functionality, or a white screen. Without someone monitoring and testing updates, these conflicts can take down your site silently.
Backups don't exist
Most Nigerian web hosts provide infrequent or unreliable backups. If your site is hacked, a server fails, or a bad update corrupts your database — and there's no clean backup — you can lose your entire website and years of content. Our care plans include daily automated backups stored off-site.
A website hack costs ₦200,000–₦500,000 to recover from. A Brela care plan costs ₦80,000–₦160,000/month and prevents it entirely. The maths are simple.

The Brela care plan standard
Real updates, not just clicks
We don't just click 'update all' and walk away. We test updates on a staging environment first (Premium plan) or check for conflicts after updating (Essential and Business). We review changelog notes for breaking changes before applying any major updates.
Genuine backups
Your backups are stored off-site — not just on your server. If your server fails, your backup is safe. Backups run daily and we verify they're completing successfully. If you ever need to restore, we do it — it's included.
Monthly reports you can actually read
Not a wall of technical data. A clear summary: what was updated, backup status, uptime percentage, any issues found and resolved, and one recommendation for next month. You know exactly what happened and what's coming.
A team that knows your site
When you're on a care plan, we maintain a profile of your site — your plugins, your theme, your hosting environment, your custom code. We're not starting from scratch every time we look at your site. That context makes support faster and reduces the chance of an update breaking something.
