Google blacklists around 10,000+ websites every day for malware and around 50,000 for phishing every week. When it comes to WordPress security, users usually fall into two camps: those who take security seriously and take preventive measures and those who believe or hope it will never happen because their site is not important enough.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide will share all the top <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress security<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tips to help you protect your website against hackers and malware.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Why is Website Security Important?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hacked WordPress site can cause serious damage to your business revenue and reputation. Hackers can steal user information passwords, install malicious software, and even distribute malware to your users.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your website is a business, you need to pay extra attention to your WordPress security.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to how it&#8217;s the business owner&#8217;s responsibility to protect their physical store building, it is your responsibility to protect your business website as an online business owner.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Follow the tips below to secure your WordPress website:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<h4><b style=\"font-size: 25px;\">1. Keeping WordPress Updated for security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is open-source software that is regularly maintained and updated. By default, WordPress automatically installs minor updates. For major releases, you need to initiate the update manually.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress also comes with thousands of plug-ins and themes that you can install on your website. These plug-ins and themes are maintained by third-party developers who regularly release updates.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These WordPress updates are crucial for the security and stability of your WordPress site. You need to ensure that your WordPress core, plug-ins, and theme are up to date.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>2. Use Strong Passwords<\/b>:<\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that the passwords for your WordPress website and your hosting account area are secure. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to develop a strong password. You can also use a password manager like LastPass to generate and store secure passwords for you.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to reduce the risk is not giving anyone access to your WordPress admin account unless you have to. If you have a large team or guest authors, then make sure that you understand user roles and capabilities in WordPress before you add new user accounts and authors to your WordPress site.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>3. Good-Bye to Default &#8220;admin&#8221; username<\/b>:<\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress used to set the default username as admin, and most users never bothered to change it. As a result, admin is usually the first username hackers will try when launching a brute force attack.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three methods you can use to change the username.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Create a new admin username and delete the old one.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use the Username Changer plug-in<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Update username from phpMyAdmin<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We&#8217;re talking about the username called &#8220;admin&#8221;, not the administrator role.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>4. Enable WordPress Backup Solution<\/b>:<\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backups are your first defense against any WordPress attack. Remember, nothing is 100% secure. Backups allow you to restore your WordPress site if something bad happens quickly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may check out backup importance in our blog post.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/significant-reasons-to-perform-a-website-backup\/\"><b>https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yxqdp6n8\u00a0<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on how frequently you update your website, the ideal setting might be either once a day or real-time backups. You may select any backup plug-in OR select a backup service if your WebHost provides it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug-ins like VaultPress or UpdraftPlus can do this easily. They are both reliable and, most importantly, easy to use<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b style=\"font-size: 21px;\">5. Harden The Admin Area:<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hardening the admin area, you&#8217;ll need to change the default admin URL and limit the number of failed login attempts before a user is locked out of your site.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By default, the admin URL for your website will look like this: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yourdomain.com\/wp-admin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hackers know this and will attempt to access this URL directly so they can gain access to your site.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can change this URL with a plug-in like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wps-hide-login\/\"><b>WPS Hide Login<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/login-lockdown\/\"><b>the Login Lockdown plug-in<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to limit the number of failed login attempts.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>6. Change WordPress Database Prefix<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By default, WordPress uses wp_ as the prefix for all tables in your WordPress database. If your WordPress site uses the default database prefix, it makes it easier for hackers to guess what your table name is. This is why we recommend changing it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wp-prefix.jpg?w=1220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"wp-prefix change\" \/>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>wp_ prefix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dbprefix-1.jpg?fit=640%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"wp-config file changes after db prefix change \" \/><figcaption>wp-config file change after dp prefix change<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<figure><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing your database prefix is a manual process that involves editing your <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp-config.php<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> file and changing the table names using phpMyAdmin. Before making the change, be sure to backup your site as a preventative measure. You can change your database prefix from cPanel &gt;&gt; phpMyAdmin<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>7. Disable File Editing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress comes with a built-in code editor, which allows you to edit your theme and plug-in files right from your WordPress admin area. In the wrong hands, this feature can be a security risk which is why we recommend turning it off.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By adding the following code in your wp-config.php file, you can easily do this.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/\/ Disallow file edit<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">define( &#8216;DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT&#8217;, true );<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>8. Disable XML-RPC in WordPress<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XML-RPC was enabled by default in WordPress because it helps connect your WordPress site with web and mobile apps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XML-RPC can significantly amplify brute-force attacks.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a plug-in like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/disable-xml-rpc\/\"><b>Disable XML-RPC plug-in<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to disable this feature. You may disable it using the .htaccess file.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b style=\"font-size: 21px;\">9. Enable Web Application Firewall<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to protect your site and be confident about your WordPress security is by using a web application firewall (WAF).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A website firewall blocks all malicious traffic before it reaches your website.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>10. Use HTTPS and SSL:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Internet has been buzzing with blog posts and articles about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/why-ssl-is-important-why-ssl-ssl-importance-ssl-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>importance of HTTPS<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> protocol and adding SSL security certificates to your site for quite some time now.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/why-ssl-is-important-why-ssl-ssl-importance-ssl-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ssltrust.png?w=1220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"using https to secure WordPress Website \" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>HTTPS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using both on your site will not only increase your site&#8217;s security but will also benefit your search engine rank, establish trust in your visitors, and improve your conversion rate.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to your hosting provider and ask about the possibility of obtaining an SSL certificate or to point you in the direction of a reputable company where you can buy one.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may check out our post on SSL importance for a website.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/why-ssl-is-important-why-ssl-ssl-importance\/\"><b>\u00a0https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ygo6vo3d<\/b><\/a>\r\n<h4><b>11. Change Your WordPress Security Keys:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress security keys are responsible for encrypting the information stored in the user&#8217;s cookies.

Use Of WordPress Security Plugins<\/strong>:<\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may make use of the popular WordPress security plug-in, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sucuri Scanner<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You need to install and activate the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> free Sucuri Security plug-in<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\r\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sucuriplugin.png?fit=640%2C444&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"sucuri plugin to secure wordpress website\" \/><figcaption>Sucuri Plugin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After plug-in installation, activate the installed plug-in. The first thing you will be asked to do is Generate a free API key. This enables audit logging, integrity checking, email alerts, and other important features.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>13. Add Security Questions to WordPress Login Screen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a security question to your WordPress login screen makes it even harder for someone to get unauthorized access.<\/span>\r\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/login-questions.jpg?w=1220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"enabling securuty questions to WordPress Login screen\" \/><figcaption>WordPress login screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can add security questions by installing the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-security-questions\/\"><b>WP Security Questions<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plug-in. Upon activation, you need to visit the Settings \u00bb Security Questions page to configure the plug-in settings.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>14. Scanning WordPress for Malware and Vulnerabilities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a WordPress security plug-in installed, those plug-ins will routinely check for malware and signs of security breaches.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you see a sudden drop in website traffic or search rankings, you may want to run a scan manually. You can use your WordPress security plug-in or use one of the malware and security scanners.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>15. Add Two Factor Authentication:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two-factor authentication technique requires users to log in using a two-step authentication method. The first one is the username and password, and the second step requires you to authenticate using a separate device or app.<\/span>\r\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2fa-example-1.png?w=1220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"enable 2FA for WordPress security\" \/><figcaption>Two-factor authentication settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most top online websites like Google, Facebook, Twitter allow you to enable it for your accounts.
