Astra theme support and maintenance for growing WordPress sites

Astra is one of the fastest starting themes in WordPress — which is exactly why speed regressions on Astra sites are so painful when they happen. We maintain Astra and Astra Pro sites at scale and know precisely where Astra + Elementor, Astra + Spectra, and Astra + WooCommerce combinations tend to drift.

What actually breaks on Astra

The specific failure patterns we see across the Astra sites under our care. Every one of these has a documented fix in our internal runbooks.

  • Astra Pro license lapses and premium modules stop rendering on the front end
  • Starter Templates plugin importing a layout overwrites the current customizer
  • Astra header builder settings reset after a version bump
  • Spectra (Ultimate Addons Gutenberg) blocks conflict with a nested Astra container
  • WooCommerce checkout losing Astra styling after a theme regeneration

What we cover on every Astra site

  • Weekly Astra + Astra Pro updates on staging, tested against header, footer, and 3 main templates
  • Astra Pro license management held under your Brainstorm Force account
  • Starter Templates and Spectra compatibility checks before every import
  • Astra + WooCommerce styling reconciliation after major WooCommerce releases
  • Speed work aligned to Astra's built-in performance flags

Astra issues we fix, in plain language

Astra Pro features disappeared from the front end+

Astra Pro license expired or unlinked. We re-authorise under your Brainstorm Force account, rotate any stale activations, and re-save the customizer to commit the changes.

Importing a Starter Template blew away the customizer settings+

The importer replaces active theme_mods. We roll back the customizer from the last verified backup and re-import the template on a fresh staging install so you can pick which parts to migrate.

Astra site got slower after adding Spectra blocks+

Spectra can inject its own CSS on every page even when a block is not present. We scope Spectra to per-page loading, purge unused block styles, and self-host any Google Fonts the theme is pulling from the CDN.

Header builder positions reset after Astra core update+

Astra occasionally normalises the header builder JSON. We keep a versioned export of your header layout and re-import within minutes when this happens.

Founder note

Astra is genuinely one of the fastest themes on WordPress if you keep it lean. Almost every Astra site we take over has picked up 3–4 addon plugins that undo Astra's speed advantage. We audit those on day one and typically drop LCP by 30% before we run a single Core Web Vitals sweep. — Ali Yasin Jatoi, Founder

Astra support FAQ

Do you support the Astra + Spectra + Elementor combination?+

Yes — we maintain sites running all three. The combination is fine as long as you scope Elementor's loading to Elementor pages and Spectra's loading to Spectra pages. We handle the setup on onboarding.

Can you migrate an existing Astra site to Astra Pro?+

Yes. Astra Pro is a plugin overlay — we install it on staging, migrate the license, and verify no theme_mods conflict before pushing to production.

How much does Astra maintenance cost?+

$99/mo on Care for a standard Astra site, $199/mo on Care Plus for lead-gen sites with Starter Templates and Spectra, $349/mo on Commerce for Astra + WooCommerce.
