The best way to ensure your website's security is to follow a few simple steps:
- Apply to all user accountsStrong password.
- Backup Your WordPress Website (Here's How to Backup WordPressusefulGuide).
- updateYour WordPress installation, themes, and plugins (although we recommend testing updates on a local host installation or staging site first). If the theme or plugin you are currently using has not been updated in the past few years, you may need to consider switching to a new theme or plugin.
- Do not install illegal downloadsThe advanced themes and plugins almost always contain malicious code (viruses, spam emails, hacker backdoors, etc.).
- Only usePlugins and themes from trusted websites. We do not recommend downloading from forums or third-party sharing websites (torrents). If you are unsure about the credibility of the website, please check customer reviews, product ratings, and social media accounts.
