We’ve been working on making sure everything is secure and stable after a recent issue. That means removing an attacker’s access, hardening login credentials, and locking down parts of the system that could be risky. We also checked that the core WordPress setup still works as expected and cleaned up a broken caching plugin we use.

A lot of this comes down to putting things back the way they should be—reinstalling trusted themes, disabling plugins that didn’t check out, and making sure files can’t be accidentally overwritten by code that shouldn’t have that access. It's not glamorous work, but it keeps the site safe and predictable.

We’ve also fixed a WordPress caching issue that had been slowing things down. The plugin didn’t finish setting itself up correctly, so we got it back on track with some careful tweaks. Now it’s serving homepage content faster without interfering with booking or other important services.

Taken together, this work reflects a focus on keeping things safe and running smoothly. It isn't about flashy new features or big changes—it's about fixing what was broken and making sure no one can sneak back in.
