Accounting sector case study
Stabilising hosting for an accounting firm during deadline season
The problem: An accounting firm relied on its website for client updates, document requests and new enquiries, but performance dipped during busy periods. Updates were stressful, backups were unclear and the team had little confidence that the site would stay reliable when demand increased.
How we identified it
BM Technologies reviewed hosting logs, plugin behaviour, backup coverage and WordPress performance. The site itself was not the only issue: caching, oversized assets, update timing and unclear recovery steps were all adding risk around important client deadlines.
What we did
- Moved the site onto a more suitable managed WordPress hosting setup.
- Tuned caching, image handling and PHP resources for predictable performance.
- Set clearer backup and restore coverage before making changes.
- Reviewed plugins and update routines to reduce avoidable breakage.
- Added monitoring so issues could be seen before customers started reporting them.
The outcome
The firm gained a faster and more dependable website during its busiest trading periods. Updates became less stressful, recovery was clearer and the team could focus on clients instead of worrying whether the site would cope.
