New 24/7 monitoring and daily cloud backups now included in every Shield Pro plan.
WordPress care plan
£99 per site / month
Shield Light is a WordPress care plan with 24/7 monitoring, weekly off-site backups, two included bug fixes, and direct developer support for one site.
What a care plan means
A WordPress care plan gives your site continuous monitoring, reliable backups, and direct access to developer help when something goes wrong. Shield Light also includes two developer fixes and a complete activity history for one WordPress site.
Uptime, response time, SSL, plugin health, and file integrity checks run throughout the day. Alerts appear in your dashboard when something needs attention.
Full WordPress backups are stored away from your live server, giving your site a recent recovery point when an update or edit causes trouble.
Use your included fixes for problems such as broken forms, plugin conflicts, display errors, or WordPress dashboard issues.
Ask about your care plan, site connection, or access in subscriber chat while your fix conversations remain organised in the same workspace.
Included every month
Shield Light is £99 per site each month, with clear inclusions and the flexibility to cancel from your billing settings at any time.
Developer help for the occasional problems that interrupt an otherwise stable site.

Who it is for
Shield Light suits business websites that are generally stable but still need dependable oversight. Your WordPress care plan keeps protection active and includes developer help for the occasional issue.
Business blogs and brochure sites that need continuous checks and occasional developer help.
Lead-generation and marketing sites where reliable forms, backups, and uptime protect new enquiries.
Owners managing several domains who want an individual care plan and activity history for each site.
Care between fixes
The value of a WordPress care plan is not limited to the months when you submit a fix. Shield Light keeps useful checks, recovery points, and site records running continuously, giving you a clearer picture of what changed before a problem appeared.
A WordPress care plan keeps checking when you are busy elsewhere. Uptime failures, SSL warnings, slower response times, file changes, and plugin-health signals are recorded in your dashboard so you can act with useful context.
Shield Light creates a full off-site backup every week. Keeping that copy away from the live hosting account means a hosting fault or broken site does not remove the recovery point you may need.
When you use an included fix, the request, secure access, conversation, and completed work stay attached to the same site workspace. There is no need to rebuild the history whenever a new problem appears.
With one-off support, the investigation starts once a problem appears. A WordPress care plan provides useful context from the days and weeks before it happened, including monitoring results, backup history, file changes, plugin health, and previous work.
You still decide when to use an included fix, while BugShield keeps the site information your developer may need organised in one place.
Each Shield Light subscription belongs to one domain. Its backups, monitoring results, Password Vault, fixes, and activity history remain separate, even when you manage several websites from the same BugShield account.
That structure lets you choose the right level of WordPress care for every site without mixing credentials, conversations, or records between them.
How it works
Connect the site once, then use the dashboard whenever you want to check its status, manage secure access, or ask a developer to resolve a problem.
Add your domain, start Shield Light, and install the small WordPress plugin. Monitoring and weekly backups then begin automatically.
Monitoring runs automatically in the background. You see results in the dashboard and get notified when something looks off.
Use your two included fixes whenever something breaks. Follow progress and speak directly with your developer from the same site workspace.

Testimonials
Reviews from owners who use a WordPress care plan for monitoring, backups, and occasional fixes.
"Our checkout died on Black Friday at 6am. BugShield had a developer on it within the hour and we were taking orders again before nine. Worth every penny of our WordPress maintenance plan."
Emma Fletcher
Owner, Fletcher Home Goods
"Plugin updates used to make me nervous. BugShield handles them as part of my WordPress maintenance plan and sends a quick note when everything looks good. One less thing to worry about."
Claire Dunmore
Owner, The Rolling Pin Bakery
"BugShield's monitoring flagged that our enquiry form had stopped sending emails. They fixed it the same day, and I now get an alert the moment something stops working."
Tom Ellery
Ellery Garden Design
"We use BugShield for WordPress maintenance across eleven client sites, and the multi-site workspace has replaced three tools. Passwords in the Vault, fixes on the board, and one invoice at the end of the month."

Director, Bright Pixel Digital
