- Use a unique username and strong password
Never use “admin” as your Administrator username - Keep your WordPress software and Plugins updated
- Use a reliable web host, like WPEngine
- Install and configure Sucuri Security, with its optional (paid) firewall
- Use a Theme that adheres to WordPress coding standards
The most common ways WordPress sites are hacked:
-
- Using outdated Plugins, Themes and WordPress software
