Managed Wordpress security & updates
Automatic WordPress Updates
Keeping your WordPress application up-to-date with the latest version is an important step in maintaining a secure site. Our automatic WordPress software and plugin updates make that process easy and fast. You can schedule how fast your site gets updated after a new version is released or even skip a version if you need more time to prepare for the update.
Custom Firewall Rules To Patch Vulnerabilities
We manage the overall security of your application at a server and firewall level by keeping track of WordPress-related vulnerabilities and patching against exploits. We add dozens of such rules each year and we are able to protect your sites even before the official developers release a security update.
All-in-one SiteGround Security Plugin
We crafted an all-in-one WordPress security plugin which combines everything you need to secure your website in one place. The SiteGround Security helps you protect your website from brute-force attacks, common hacks, data leaks, and more with a few clicks. It's a must-have for every WordPress site.
Unmatched WordPress Performance
Powerful Google Cloud Platform
Our platform is hosted on the Google Cloud and enjoys the fastest network and the latest modern hardware with SSD persistent storage. Google infrastructure is known for innovation, reliability and speed, which guarantees a great performance for any website.
Unique Caching Options
By default, we enable NGINX Direct Delivery for all sites on our servers, which means that certain items, like your images, will load faster from the memory of the server. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved when connecting your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service. (The option is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans).
Free SiteGround Optimizer Plugin
Our free SiteGround Optimizer allows you to use all our unique caching options listed above. Through it you can also easily improve your site speed by setting the optimal PHP version, switching on the HTTPS option and using our automated image optimizations, lazy image loading, GZIP compression, CSS&HTML minifications and more.
+30% Faster PHP
Our custom PHP implementation makes your pages load up to 30% faster, cutting the TTFB (time to first byte) and allowing the server to process more of your visits faster. The service is available on GrowBig and higher plans. You can read more about this technology in our blog.
