Reducing the number of plugins is so true. I learned from experience. I’m trying to find plugins that can handle multiple jobs. Thanks for reminding me about updating my laptop which is something that I can be lazy about at times. I haven’t been hacked yet but you know what they say, better safe than sorry.

Great post Olivia,
WordPress site security is one of the most trending topics on the internet and that is because it’s a very important topic.

You see, nothing pains more than spending years, with a lot of efforts, sacrifices, and sleepless nights to build a website and all of a sudden, it disappears all because of some useless hackers. I’ve been a victim of this in the past and I can tell that it’s not a pleasant experience at all. Hence, the reason why every necessary action should always be taken to ensure your website is hyper secured from those malicious hackers.

Interestingly, all the tips and tricks you shared here about how to do this are really great, especially the issue of constantly ensuring that your themes, plugins, and WordPress itself are always up to date. Once you fail to update these things, you are already creating a loophole for a hacker to come in and take over your website. Therefore, it’s always very important to ensure you keep them up to date at all time.

Another good trick you mentioned here which is really not popular is the issue of hiding your username. Once a hacker already know your username, he might be lucky in guessing your password, that is why it’s important not to give him that chance.

Lastly, it’s also vital to always use difficult and long passwords that will be super difficult for anyone to guess.

Thanks for sharing Olivia.

Hi Olivia,

Amazing read. There are lots of things we often overlooked when it comes to WordPress security. All the points you have mentioned are critical to WordPress security.

Outdated plugins and themes are one of the core reason hackers breach the security of the WordPress sites.
