Managing over 250 WordPress sites starts with eliminating guesswork. On day one, I focused on building a single operational baseline: capturing WordPress/PHP versions, theme and plugin footprints, hosting differences, traffic hot spots, and “known fragile” integrations that tend to break during updates. With medical cannabis clients sitting alongside realty and construction brands, the goal was to normalize these differences into structured signals—so performance tuning and security hardening could be prioritized by risk and impact instead of ad-hoc firefighting.
