Weekly vs. Monthly Updates

We typically perform minor updates (plugins, themes) on a weekly basis to ensure security patches are applied promptly.

Major Updates

Major version updates (e.g., WordPress 6.x to 7.x) are scheduled carefully and tested on a staging environment first to prevent compatibility issues.

Emergency Patches

If a critical security vulnerability (Zero-Day) is discovered, we patch it immediately, outside of the regular schedule.
