Project 03 / 25
Creative agency / Website
An agency in Panama
Four WordPress sites on monthly care. The first audit found outdated software, vulnerabilities, and a hidden infection at the server level that opening the website would not reveal.

The problem & the solution
Four WordPress sites, and a hidden infection on the server.
The challenge
The first audit found the sites were slow, plugins and WordPress itself were out of date, and there were vulnerabilities. There was also a hidden infection running at the server level. Opening the website gave no sign of it; it was a backdoor that the usual WordPress-only checks would miss.
Key decisions
Look above WordPress too
I checked files and the server, not only the WordPress dashboard, so the infection would not come back if I only cleaned the CMS layer.
Standardize the monthly work
After the cleanup I left a repeatable process for updates, backups and monitoring across the four sites.
The build
I put the four sites on ongoing monthly maintenance, cleaned the server-level infection, and brought plugins and WordPress up to date.
The difference
After three months everything was clean, up to date and running under a standard process. The agency has kept sending project work as well as the monthly care, as a technical partner under their brand.
Something worth building?
