Here are a few steps you can take to improve the security of your WordPress site:
Use a strong and unique password: Choose a password that is difficult to guess and use a different password for each of your online accounts.
Keep WordPress and plugins up to date: Regularly update WordPress and all the plugins to the latest version to ensure that any security vulnerabilities are patched.
Limit login attempts: Use a plugin like Limit Login Attempts to prevent brute-force attacks on your login page.
Use a security plugin: Install a security plugin like Wordfence or iThemes Security to provide additional security features such as malware scanning, firewall protection, and two-factor authentication.
Use a backup plugin: Backing up your site regularly is crucial in case something goes wrong. Use a backup plugin like UpdraftPlus or BackupBuddy to automate the backup process.
Be careful with third-party themes and plugins: Only install them from reputable sources, and always check the reviews and ratings before installing them.
Remove unused themes and plugins: Uninstall any themes and plugins you’re not using, as they can be a security risk.
Ask the service provider to apply server-end security: At intoHOST, we have multi-layer protection, including network level and application level, and further, we scan your sites for malware.
