Secure WordPress in 3 Steps

WordPress is the #1 hacker target. The classic mistake? Thinking "I'm too small to be attacked". Wrong.

Attacks are automated. Bots scan the web 24/7 for open doors. Multinational or food blog, it's all the same. If there's a hole, they enter.

3 Steps to Safety

First, Update Everything—an old plugin is an open window, so those red notification dots must be clicked immediately. Second, Kill "Admin". Using "admin" as a username is like gifting half the keys to the kingdom; create a new administrator account and delete the old one. Third, install a Digital Bouncer like Wordfence to block suspicious access attempts before they even reach your door.

The Savior: Backup

But the only true salvation is Backup. If the site is razed, yesterday's copy saves the day in 10 minutes. Without backup, it's game over. Check hosting or use UpdraftPlus now.
