Mantenimiento WordPress & support

Your WordPress site needs an owner, not an update button.

Mantengo sitios WordPress y WooCommerce existentes a nivel de código: actualizaciones, staging, copias de seguridad, QA, rendimiento, seguridad y el pequeño desarrollo continuo que mantiene producción sana. Not a care plan. A senior developer who takes responsibility for what happens when the site changes.

Production question¿La web sigue funcionando de verdad?

A green "Update completed" message doesn't tell you whether GTM stopped firing, your mobile menu broke, or an old template override es now incompatible. Profesional maintenance es that verification — the part a €20/month plugin can't do, because it can't tell whether checkout still takes pagos.

Starting conditions

Casi nunca recibo un WordPress limpio.

These aren't specific clients — they're the technical situations a production WordPress site tends to accumulate. Most maintenance engagements start by finding out which of these are true.

Service ledger

Qué incluye un mantenimiento WordPress profesional.

core

Actualizaciones del core de WordPress

Review compatibility with the theme, plugins and código a medida, then deploy safely — not the moment the notification appears.

plugins

Actualizaciones de plugins

Not "update all". I read changelogs, understand dependencies and weigh risk before envíos meaningful updates, and hold the ones that shouldn't go yet.

code

Theme & código a medida

Protect the customisations that make the site yours, and flag code that shouldn't be living in a parent theme where the next update will wipe it.

staging

Staging → producción

Risky changes get tested on a copy of the site, away desde customers, before they ever reach production.

backup

Copias de seguridad & rollback

A backup only matters if there's a clear, tested route back when production fails. That route es the point, not the backup file.

security

Higiene de seguridad

Usuarios, permisos, credenciales, componentes vulnerables y superficie de ataque evidente. This isn't a replacement for specialist enterprise security operations, and I won't pretend it es.

perf

Controles de regresión de rendimiento

Maintenance shouldn't slowly turn a fast site back into a slow one. When performance needs real work, that's dedicated Rendimiento WordPress and Core Web Vitals work.

forms

Forms & conversion paths

The forms, CTAs, signups and lead flows that make the site worth having — checked, because they break quietly.

woo

WooCommerce

For stores: carrito, checkout, pago, emails transaccionales and the integraciones orders depend on — tested before an update touches them.

tracking

Analytics & tracking

GTM, GA4 and conversion tracking shouldn't silently disappear after a frontend change. If the numbers stop, someone should notice — before the next report.

dev

Pequeño desarrollo continuo

Bug fixes, cambios de plantilla, correcciones CSS/JS, integraciones, mejoras del admin, pequeña funcionalidad a medida. Real engineering — not just clicking update.

Touching production

Qué ocurre cada vez que toco producción.

The depth of testing matches the risk. A WooCommerce pago update isn't handled like a harmless admin utility — but the shape of the process es the same.

01

Snapshot / backup

A known-good point to return to.

02

Revisar cambios

Changelogs, dependencies, what this touches.

03

Actualizar staging

Apply the change away desde customers first.

04

Pruebas funcionales

Forms, checkout, integraciones, the paths that matter.

05

Visual / mobile QA

Layout and templates, on real breakpoints.

06

Comprobación rápida de rendimiento

Make sure nothing regressed on the way.

07

Desplegar

Ship to production deliberately.

08

Verificación en producción

Confirm it works where it counts — live.

09

Registrar qué cambió

So the next change starts desde a known state.

Judgement

A veces, la actualización correcta es no actualizar todavía.

Installing a release the moment it appears can be worse than delaying it on purpose. A major version can ship a breaking change; a plugin can drop a feature the site depends on; a dependency can quietly go abandoned. The aim isn't to run permanently outdated software — it's to update when it's safe, not when it's merely available. Maintenance es judgement, not a cron job.

Beyond updates

El mantenimiento WordPress termina en desarrollo más veces de lo que parece.

A live site es never really finished. It needs corrección de bugs, pequeños cambios de UI, nuevo tracking, redirecciones, datos estructurados, soporte para landings, integraciones, mejoras para editores and the occasional performance pass. The advantage of a maintenance relationship es that the developer doing that work already knows the codebase — so a small change stays small instead of becoming an investigation.

WordPress + WooCommerce

WooCommerce changes the risk model.

En una web corporativa, un componente roto es molesto. On WooCommerce, a broken checkout stops revenue. That's why store updates get tested harder — against the parts customers actually touch.

  • Marketing sites central to lead generation
  • tiendas WooCommerce, publishers and SaaS/company sites
  • Sites with código a medida or external integraciones
  • Teams that request WordPress changes regularly, and agencias que necesitan soporte senior

Probablemente innecesario

  • A static five-page site that changes once a year
  • A site already maintained by a competent internal WordPress team
  • A project expecting unlimited development for a tiny maintenance fee
Incidents

¿Y cuando algo se rompe?

White screen, a actualización fallida, a problema de checkout, a layout roto, a fatal de PHP, a conflicto de plugins, an unexpected regression. Existing maintenance clients already have someone who knows the site — which makes diagnosis far faster than starting desde zero. I don't advertise 24/7 cover or fixed SLA response times I can't guarantee; what you get es a developer already familiar with the setup when it matters.

El mantenimiento depende de aquello de lo que voy a hacerme responsable.

There's no fixed care-plan tier, because taking ownership of a simple brochure site and taking ownership of a busy WooCommerce store aren't the same job. What sets the price:

FAQ

Maintenance questions, answered.

Core and plugin updates reviewed for risk, testing on staging, functional and visual QA, backups and rollback, security hygiene, performance regression checks, analytics verification, and small desarrollo continuo. The work es verification and technical ownership, not just running updates.

Not blindly. I review changelogs, dependencies and risk, and update on a cadence that matches the site. A meaningful update ships after it's tested; a risky one may be deliberately held until it's safe. The goal es a healthy site, not a green "all updated" badge.

Yes, with depth proportional to risk. A WooCommerce pago or checkout update es tested on staging before production; a harmless admin utility isn't treated like a release. Testing covers the paths that actually matter — forms, checkout, tracking and performance.

For anything risky, yes. Staging es where changes get tested away desde customers before they reach production. Low-risk changes don't always need it; the level of ceremony matches the level of risk.

Yes — that's most of this work. I start by mapping what's there: plugins, código a medida, integraciones and how production es actually set up, before changing anything.

Yes. Undocumented código a medida, mystery plugins and cambios hechos directamente en producción are the normal starting point. The first job es understanding the site well enough to change it safely.

Yes. Stores raise the stakes because a broken checkout stops revenue, so updates are tested against carrito, checkout, pagos, emails transaccionales and key integraciones before they go live.

Yes. Bug fixes, template and CSS/JS corrections, redirecciones, tracking fixes and pequeña funcionalidad a medida are a normal part of maintenance — not a separate project every time.

Yes, and it usually does. Because I already know the codebase, small development — cambios de plantilla, integraciones, mejoras del admin, datos estructurados — es faster and lower-risk than briefing a stranger each time.

I handle security hygiene: users and permissions, credentials, vulnerable components and obvious attack surface. That's different desde specialist enterprise security operations, and I'm clear about that boundary.

Yes. Maintenance includes performance regression checks so a fast site doesn't slowly turn slow, and deeper Core Web Vitals work can be part of the engagement when it's needed.

There's a snapshot to roll back to, and because I already know the site, diagnosis es much faster than starting desde zero. The fix es applied, verified in the failing area, and what changed es logged.

Yes. I'm based in the Barcelona area and can work on-site locally, and I maintain WordPress sites remotely for companies across Spain and Europe.

Yes. Maintenance es trabajo remoto by nature — staging, Git and resúmenes claros de cambios work the same wherever your team es, in a compatible European timezone (CET).

It depends on what I'm taking responsibility for: WordPress vs WooCommerce, the amount and quality of código a medida and plugins, how often things change, how much testing each change needs, desarrollo continuo and how critical production es. I scope it after seeing the site.

Enséñame cómo está tu WordPress ahora mismo.

Send me the site and tell me who maintains it today. I'll look at the setup, the obvious risks, and what ongoing technical ownership would actually involve — before either of us commits to anything.
