Securing your WordPress website is crucial at a time when digital threats continue to increase. In this article, we share essential steps to keep your WordPress site safe from hackers.

Stay up-to-date

Old versions of software are a playground for hackers. Make sure your WordPress core, themes and plugins always have the latest updates.

Strong passwords and two-factor authentication

Use passwords that are hard to guess (not “123456” or “password”) and activate two-factor authentication. That’s like having an extra lock on your account. To use two factor authentication you do need to use a plugin and app on your phone first, you can use the plugin ‘ Two Factor Authentication ‘ and use the app for your phone ‘ Google authenticator ‘.

Install a security plugin

Plugins such as Wordfence or iTheme act as a guardian for your site. They block hackers and let you know when something is off. Installing such a plugin is a must-do.

Do regular security checks

Just like you go to the doctor regularly for a check-up, your site needs to be checked as well. Conduct regular security audits to make sure everything is in order.

With these steps, you’re well on your way to keeping your WordPress site secure. Simple right? For more tips, subscribe to our newsletter !
