What WPCentrify offers
- Bulk updates across all your sites, run as batches that start with one canary site, with per-site version pins and an optional approval step before a batch goes out.
- A rule-based risk score on each pending update, based on the type of release, how new it is and how important the site is.
- Automatic rollback of a plugin or theme update that causes a PHP fatal error, a 5xx server error or a visual break, found by comparing pages before and after each update.
- Maintenance windows, freeze periods and quiet hours at portfolio, client or site level.
- Scheduled, encrypted, incremental backups stored off the site, with restores of a whole site, files, the database, a single table or a single file.
- Uptime checks every 60 seconds from three locations, PHP error monitoring and scheduled PageSpeed Insights checks with Core Web Vitals, with alerts by email.
- Daily security checks: file integrity, plugins closed on WordPress.org, end-of-life PHP and WordPress versions, SSL, new administrator accounts and sign-in activity.
- Scheduled client reports by email or PDF, with your own branding and a renamable connector plugin through the paid white label add-on.
- Team access with a per-area permission grid, time-limited access, two-factor sign-in and an activity log.
- One-click login to each site's WordPress admin as your own user, with per-person site access and role limits set by the workspace owner.

- A cookie consent banner for your sites that holds third-party code back until the visitor agrees, sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals and keeps a record of each answer.
- Website chat: a Virtual Assistant that answers visitors from the site's own pages, live chat answered by your team or your client's staff, a scripted step form, and AI summaries of conversations.
- SEO tools (site crawl, broken link checks, redirects, titles and meta descriptions) and cookieless traffic analytics.
