Security

Securing your WordPress site is essential to protect your visitors’ data and prevent unauthorized access or malware.

Before You Begin

• A clean, updated WordPress installation.

Securing your Site

1. Use strong, unique passwords for all admin users.

3. Disable file editing in your wp-config.php file.
4. Regularly scan your site for vulnerabilities.

Best Practices

• Limit login attempts to prevent brute-force attacks.
• Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter malicious traffic.
