WordPress 3.7 introduced automatic upgrades. Maintenance and security updates are applied in the background when a patch becomes available and someone visits your site. By default, the process only applies when updating minor versions — such as 3.7.0 to 3.7.1 — and takes no longer than 25 seconds.
Automated updates are especially risky if you:
– use a large number of dubious plug-ins or complex third-party themes
– want to control and manage updates yourself, or
– have an especially nervous disposition!
