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.<\/p>

Stay up-to-date <\/h2>

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

Strong passwords and two-factor authentication<\/strong><\/h2>

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 ‘\n Two Factor Authentication<\/strong>\n<\/a>‘ and use the app for your phone ‘\n Google authenticator<\/strong>\n<\/a>‘. <\/p>

Install a security plugin<\/strong><\/h2>

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.<\/p>

Do regular security checks<\/strong><\/h2>

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.<\/p>
