Ask ten people what a website fix costs and you'll get ten answers, because 'fix' covers everything from a forgotten plugin — An add-on that extends your CMS; outdated or abandoned plugins are the most common way sites get hacked. update to a full malware — Malicious software planted on your site; it can redirect visitors, steal data, or get you blacklisted by Google. cleanup. The honest answer is that price tracks three things: what broke, how far the damage spread, and how soon you need it back. Understand those three and you can sanity-check any quote — including ours. ## Check these first, yourself - Some 'outages' are free to fix: an expired card on the hosting — The service that runs your site on a server; the plan you pick decides your speed ceiling and your crash risk. account, a domain that lapsed, or a plugin you can update from the dashboard in a minute. - If a recent change broke the site, restoring last night's backup — A tested copy of your site you can restore from; an untested backup is a hope, not a plan. often costs nothing but the nerve to press the button — check your host's backup panel first. - Get the problem named in one sentence before you pay anyone. A quote for 'optimisation' without a named cause is a quote you cannot compare. - Ask what happens if the fix does not work. Any provider confident in the outcome will put 'no fix, no fee' in writing; if they won't, treat that as the answer. ### When to call a rescue instead of doing it yourself Once the cause is unknown, the damage is still spreading, or an hour of downtime costs more than the fix, paying is the cheap option. Rescue tickets are flat $2,000–$5,000 depending on the symptom, quoted and locked before work starts. The price does not move when the job turns out harder than it looked, and if it cannot be fixed you do not pay. ### Should you fix it yourself or call a rescue? **Have you tried the free fixes (images, caching, plugins)?If yes and it's still slow → the problem is deeper. **Is your hosting or server the bottleneck?Shared hosting, old PHP, no object cache → server-level problem. **Yes → Speed Rescue Fixed in 48h · from $2,000 ](https://getfullstacksolutions.com/rescue/speed/index.html) **Not sure → Send symptom We'll diagnose for free ](https://getfullstacksolutions.com/contact/index.html) ## Still have questions?
