Unlimited WordPress support with the fair-use rules on the page, not in the fine print

Every provider that says "unlimited WordPress support" caps you at 30 minutes per task and one at a time. The only real difference is who tells you before you sign. Ours: 30-minute fair-use per task, one concurrent task, one outcome per request — all published below. Named senior engineer, 8h → 4h first-response SLA, month-to-month, 30-day money-back, from $199/mo.

Quick answer

Unlimited WordPress support means unlimited requests, not unlimited scope. Standard fair-use across the market is 30 minutes per task, one active task at a time, one outcome per request — bigger work is quoted separately. The honest question isn't whether a provider caps you; it's whether they publish the caps before you pay. Expect $150–$400/mo depending on response SLA and whether WooCommerce is in scope.

The fair-use rules, published up front

Every rule you'd normally find on ticket #7

No provider actually offers unlimited engineering hours for $199/mo — the math doesn't work. What real "unlimited" plans offer is unlimited requests under a fair-use structure. Here's ours, in full, before you pay.

Task length

Up to 30 minutes of engineering per request. Bigger asks stack into blocks or roll into a project quote.

Concurrent tasks

One active task per account at a time. Additional requests queue in the order received — usually picked up the same day.

Response window

First-response SLA runs 8 hours on Care Plus and 4 hours on Commerce. A human acknowledges the ticket and starts work — not an auto-reply.

Turnaround

Most sub-30-minute tasks ship the same business day. Anything that needs staging + a second engineer review takes up to 48 hours.

What counts as a task

One outcome per request. 'Fix the checkout' is a task. 'Fix the checkout, redesign the homepage, and migrate to a new host' is three tasks — please split.

What doesn't count

New feature builds, custom development, full page redesigns, and multi-day migrations are project work, quoted at $95/hr with a written scope. We won't stealth-drain your unlimited hours for something we should have quoted.

Real requests we handle every week

All included in the plan. No per-ticket billing, no emergency call-out fee, no "we've closed this as out of scope" surprises.

Small content and design edits

Change headline copy, swap a hero image, tweak a button colour, add a testimonial block, update the footer year, adjust menu ordering.

Plugin fixes and rollbacks

White screen after an update, plugin activation errors, admin dashboard glitches, quick compatibility fixes. Rolled back or hot-patched inside the SLA.

WooCommerce fixes

Broken checkout, tax mis-calculation, shipping method missing, stuck on-hold orders, gateway timeouts, add-to-cart JS errors, order-notification emails failing.

Speed micro-fixes

Enable page cache, defer render-blocking script, compress oversized hero image, purge unused CSS on a single page, fix a specific Core Web Vitals fail.

Security patches

Apply a WPScan-flagged vulnerability patch, remove a suspicious admin user, tighten a leaked file permission, add a WAF rule against a targeted attacker.

Small dev tweaks

One CSS override, one shortcode adjustment, one wp-config constant change, one .htaccess redirect, one ACF field addition. Not a rebuild — a change.

Hack cleanup and one clean restore

One malware cleanup per month included at no extra charge. Second cleanup on the same attack vector is on us too — we don't sell hacks back to you.

Advice and audits on request

'Is this plugin safe?' 'Which theme is faster?' 'Should I migrate hosts?' — 15-minute engineer answers, not chatbot replies.

Where we draw the honest line

What "unlimited" doesn't cover

Publishing the exclusions is the trust signal. The stuff below is real, valuable work — we do all of it — just not under an unlimited retainer. Fixed quotes only.

Full custom development

Building a new plugin, a bespoke Gutenberg block, or a WooCommerce extension. Quoted at $95/hr with a scope in writing.

Page-builder rebuilds

Migrating a whole site from Divi to Elementor, or rebuilding the homepage from scratch. Project work — the hourly is honest, unlimited would be theatre.

Multi-day migrations

Complete host + domain + email cutover with staging environments. Free triage first, then a fixed quote — usually $299–$799.

Content writing and design work

Blog posts, copywriting, custom illustration, brand design. Not our craft — we'll refer honestly if we have someone.

SEO strategy and campaign work

Keyword research, link building, ongoing content strategy. Technical SEO fixes on the site itself are included; strategy retainers aren't.

24/7 phone support

That's the Commerce and Enterprise tiers on our standard WordPress support plans, not the unlimited plan. See /services/wordpress-support for those SLAs.

Unlimited plans

Month-to-month, cancel any time, 30-day money-back on every plan. Prices include VAT/tax adjustments where applicable.

How onboarding works

  1. 1

    Book a free 20-minute triage

    Send your URL and a one-line note on the biggest thing you'd fix this month. We open the site live, review incident history, and quote the tier that fits. No card, no obligation.

  2. 2

    Grant secure access

    Scoped admin account with 2FA, application passwords for API access, a shared 1Password vault for host + registrar. Access is revocable in one click and audited weekly.

  3. 3

    Get your named engineer + written SLA

    Onboarding pairs you with one senior engineer (plus a backup for holidays and cover) and issues the exact fair-use rules, response SLA, and included-task definitions in writing.

  4. 4

    Send tasks the way you'd send a text

    Email or WhatsApp on Care Plus. Slack + phone added on Commerce. One outcome per message keeps the queue honest. We'll acknowledge inside SLA and confirm the ETA in the same reply.

  5. 5

    Read the monthly report

    Every task shipped, every incident caught, every risk flagged. Plain-language, one page, actionable — written so a non-engineer can decide what to do next.

Unlimited WordPress support — FAQ

What does 'unlimited WordPress support' actually mean?

In this market, 'unlimited' universally means unlimited requests, not unlimited scope. Every provider caps individual tasks at 30 minutes and queues one at a time — the difference is whether they publish that rule up front or bury it. We publish ours: 30-minute fair-use per task, one concurrent task, one outcome per request. Bigger asks stack into blocks or roll into a fixed-price project quote.

What's the difference between unlimited and pay-per-task WordPress support?

Unlimited makes sense if you send more than 3–4 small tasks a month — the price/task drops below what pay-per-task would cost. Below that volume, our standard WordPress support plans (from $99/mo) or one-off website repair ($299/incident) are cheaper. We'll tell you honestly in the triage which one fits.

How fast do you respond to an unlimited-support request?

8-hour first-response SLA on Care Plus Unlimited, 4-hour on Commerce Unlimited. First response is a human acknowledging the ticket and confirming the ETA — not an auto-reply. Most sub-30-minute tasks ship the same business day; staging-tested changes take up to 48 hours.

Is there really no lock-in?

Correct. Month-to-month, cancel any time, no cancellation fee. The 30-day money-back is a full refund if you're not happy in the first month. We keep offsite backups for 30 more days after cancellation so you can migrate cleanly.

Do you support WooCommerce on the unlimited plan?

Yes — Commerce Unlimited is built for it. Includes checkout + webhook synthetic monitoring every 5 minutes, priority queue for cart/checkout tasks, and 4h first-response 24/7. Stripe, PayPal, Square, tax edge cases, subscription flows, order-email delivery — all in scope.

Can you actually deliver everything I send?

If it fits the fair-use rules on this page, yes. If it doesn't, we'll say so in the acknowledgement reply — 'this is a 3-hour job, it needs a fixed quote, here's the number.' We won't stealth-drain your unlimited hours or push back with 'we're at capacity' as an excuse. Published rules are the whole point of this page.

What happens if I go over the fair-use limit?

You won't get billed by surprise. We flag it in the same reply — 'this task is 90 minutes, so it'll count as three of your daily slots' or 'this is a project, let's quote it at $95/hr.' You approve or decline before we start work. No creep, no invoice shock.

How does unlimited support differ from a website care plan?

A care plan is scheduled hygiene: tested updates, verified backups, monitoring, monthly reports. Unlimited support is on-demand work: fix the checkout, tweak the header, patch the plugin. Both matter — the Care Plus Unlimited and Commerce Unlimited tiers bundle the care work in, so you get both from the same engineer.
