WordPress Sites
WordPress that stays fast as it grows, hosted in Canada, with the heavy lifting moved off the web server so editors keep the tool they know.
What a wordpress sites engagement includes
WordPress is the right answer far more often than its reputation suggests. What goes wrong is almost never the CMS — it is a stack of plugins doing work the web server should never have been asked to do, on hosting chosen by price.
- Canadian hosting with the database, media and backups in the same jurisdiction
- Search and indexing offloaded so a large catalogue stays fast
- A plugin audit — what each one costs you, and what replaces the ones that cost too much
- Migration from any host, staged and reversible, with no editorial freeze
- Core, theme and plugin updates applied on a schedule you can see
What this looks like in practice
Publisher catalogue
Hundreds of titles, faceted search, no slow-down
Membership site
Gated content, member records, renewal reminders
Multi-site network
One codebase, many brands, separate editors
How it runs
01
We measure what is slow
Real page timings from real visitors, not a synthetic score. Usually the answer is three plugins and a query.02
We plan the move
What comes across as-is, what gets replaced, and what gets left behind on purpose.03
We migrate in stages
Content first, then media, then DNS. Editors keep working the whole time.04
We hand over the runbook
Updates, backups and restores, written for the person who will actually do them.
Questions people ask
Will my editors have to learn something new?
No. That is most of the reason to stay on WordPress. The editing experience is the one they already have; what changes is underneath it.
Do I have to leave my current host?
Not necessarily. If your host is serving you well we will say so. Where we do recommend moving, it is for a reason we can show you in the numbers.
What about the plugins we depend on?
They get audited, not deleted. Anything that stays, stays. Anything we suggest replacing comes with what replaces it and what that costs.

Tell us what you run, where it runs, and who can reach it. We will tell you honestly what moving it to Canadian infrastructure would take.
