Reduce the risk of hacks, malware and downtime with practical security measures for your WordPress website.
Why WordPress Sites Get Targeted
WordPress is widely used, so attackers write tools that look for sites with outdated software, weak passwords or poorly maintained plugins. A hacked website can show spam, redirect visitors, steal data or be removed from search results. Recovering is usually more expensive and stressful than preventing the problem.
We cannot make any website completely unhackable, and no one honestly can. What we can do is close the common gaps and help you recover quickly if something happens. Security is also built into our website maintenance service.
Preventive Measures
- Keeping WordPress, themes and plugins updated
- Removing unused or abandoned plugins and themes
- Strong passwords and two-factor login where possible
- Limiting login attempts and protecting the login page
- Sensible user roles and permissions
- HTTPS and correct server settings
- Regular backups stored safely off the site
If Something Goes Wrong
- Scanning for malware and suspicious changes
- Cleaning infected files and closing the entry point
- Restoring from a clean backup where needed
- Requesting a review if search engines have flagged the site
- Advising on password changes and access review
- Recommendations to prevent a repeat
