How to keep your WordPress website safe?

December 16, 2022

It is both obvious and important to keep your WordPress website safe. A compromised website can lead to serious consequences, such as:

  1. Loss of sensitive data: A hacked website can result in the loss of sensitive data, such as customer information and financial data.
  2. Loss of reputation: A website that has been hacked can damage the website's reputation and credibility, which can lead to a loss of trust from users and customers.
  3. Legal issues: A hacked website can result in legal issues, such as data breaches that are required to be reported to regulatory bodies.
  4. Financial losses: A hacked website can result in financial losses, such as lost sales and revenue, as well as the cost of repairing the website and restoring it to its previous state.

By regularly reviewing and updating the website's security measures, you can help ensure that it stays protected.

There are several steps you can take to perform a security check on a WordPress website:

  1. Use strong passwords: Make sure to use strong, unique passwords for all user accounts on the website. Avoid using simple or easy-to-guess passwords.
  2. Keep the WordPress core, themes, and plugins up to date: Outdated software can contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. Make sure to regularly update the WordPress core, themes, and plugins to keep the website secure.
  3. Use a security plugin: Security plugins can help protect the website from various threats, such as brute force attacks, malware, and SQL injections. Some popular options include Wordfence, Sucuri, and iThemes Security.
  4. Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to the website by requiring users to provide a one-time code in addition to their password. This can help prevent unauthorized access to the website.
  5. Use SSL/TLS: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that help secure the connection between a web server and a client (e.g., a web browser). Enabling SSL/TLS on the website can help protect sensitive data, such as login credentials and payment information, from being intercepted by third parties.
  6. Regularly scan for malware: Use a tool like Sucuri SiteCheck to scan the website for malware and other security threats. If the scan finds any issues, follow the recommended steps to fix them.

By following these steps, you can help secure your WordPress website and protect it from potential threats. It's important to regularly review and update the website's security measures to ensure that it stays safe.

Free Downloads?

Most of the WordPress Plugins & Themes in the GPLDL repository are available for free download - yes, free! - that is even better than buying at a discount, rebate, promotion or with a coupon code.

After signing up for a free membership, you will instantly get a download link to GPLDL's WordPress plugins and themes including future updates.

Where is the catch? There is none. We re-distribute 100% exact copies of GPL-licensedWordPress items, completely unmodified - that means *not* nulled, cracked or otherwise modified code without any serial numbers, API keys or support.

How can you help? If you like our service, please spread the word. If you can afford to financially support us, please make a donation. All donations will be used for (recurring) subscriptions of WordPress plugins & themes and to grow the catalog!
