There are several ways to ensure the security of your WordPress website:
- To guarantee that any known security vulnerabilities are patched, keep your WordPress installation and all plugins and themes up to date.
- Use a robust and unique username and password for your admin account, and avoid using “admin” as your username.
- To further secure your website, use a security plugin like Wordfence or iThemes Security.
- Regularly back up your website to quickly restore it in case of a security breach or other problem.
- Limit the number of users who have access to your website, and use the least privileged user roles possible.
- To stop harmful traffic from reaching your website, use a web application firewall (WAF).
- Keep an eye out for any strange behaviour on your website, such as sudden changes to your files or an increase in 404 errors.
- Use an SSL certificate to encrypt the communication between your website and the visitor’s browser.
It’s important to remember that security is a process that never ends, and you should review and update your security measures often.
