Honestly, as a website owner, the best you can do to secure your website is to do 3 things. You know me by now, I like to simplify things so you basically need to
- Make sure all your themes and plugins are updated
- Have a reliable security plugin
- Have Recaptcha
- Have some sort of bot blocker.
- Have SSL
- Use a decently strong password
Well if you are a big website and you can afford a security expert go ahead and do that. If you need some recommendations here’s the solution I use (mainly cuz they are free and I don’t wanna spend)
- Cloudflare – The Web Performance & Security Company | Cloudflare
- Wordfence Security – Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
- Really Simple SSL – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
- reCAPTCHA (google.com)
If you implemented what I said you are basically about 80% better than most websites out available online, especially for those who use WordPress. You can research more about the requirements, you won’t believe how many websites I’ve encountered as a WordPress Support Engineer that don’t implement these.
