Made by WordPress experts for WordPress lovers

We have a long history with WordPress and are proud to be part of the community. Our product is developed with direct input from our users, reflecting our community-driven mindset. Join us for the features, stay for the community ❤️

Concise and fully customizable reporting

We understand the importance of proving the value of your work to your customers and keeping them up to date with the health and performance of their website. However, too much detail and technical information can leave them confused. Our white labeled automatic reports clearly communicate the key metrics your customers should be aware of.

Advanced security

We take security seriously and encourage a proactive approach. Vulnerability monitoring is included free on every plan: every site is checked against the Patchstack database every 6 hours, with one-click fixing updates. The Security add-on adds a firewall with virtual patching, a network-learned IP blocklist, attack detections with evidence, and daily malware scanning. Solid sells security as a separate plugin product; WP Umbrella manages it from the same dashboard.
