Website security is not only for large companies. Every website can be targeted by automated attacks, spam, weak passwords or outdated plugins.
1. Use strong and unique passwords
A weak password is one of the easiest entry points. Use long, unique passwords and avoid reusing the same password across several services. A password manager makes this much easier.
2. Enable HTTPS and keep it active
An SSL certificate protects data exchanged between the visitor and the website. It is essential for forms, ecommerce and professional credibility.
3. Update your CMS, plugins and theme
Most attacks exploit known vulnerabilities. Regular updates reduce risk and keep your website compatible with recent versions of WordPress, plugins and PHP.
4. Create reliable backups
A backup is useful only if it can be restored. Schedule automatic backups, store them outside the website and test restoration when possible.
5. Monitor and maintain your website
Security is an ongoing process. Monitoring, updates, backups and basic hardening help prevent incidents and recover quickly if something happens.
