That means missing any updates makes your website prone to security threats. Remember, this also applies to plugins and themes. 👉 Use Secure WP-Admin Login Credentials Use a long and unique password to secure your account. Additionally, use a reliable VPN service when using a public network. 👉 Create Safelist and Blocklist for Admin Page Use a web application firewall like Cloudflare or Sucuri to activate a URL lockdown. You can protect your login page from unauthorized IP addresses and brute-force attacks. If you don’t prefer using an external firewall, you can create it manually by editing the .htaccess file. 👉 Use Trusted WordPress Themes Always download themes from the WordPress repository or the official creator’s website. Never go for third-party theme copies to avoid cyber security vulnerabilities. 👉 Install an SSL Certificate An SSL certificate establishes a secure encrypted connection between your website and its visitors. As a result, the risk of data breach cases is reduced to a minimum. 👉 Remove Unused WordPress Plugins and Themes If you no longer use plugins and themes, removing them entirely is safer than leaving them active yet outdated.
