The checklist

  • Keep core, themes and plugins updated (or on a managed care plan).
  • Strong admin passwords + two-factor authentication.
  • Limit login attempts and hide/rename the login URL.
  • Automated off-site backups you've actually tested restoring.
  • A reputable security plugin/firewall + malware scanning.
  • Least-privilege user roles; remove unused accounts.
  • HTTPS everywhere and secure file permissions.

Frequently asked questions

Is WordPress insecure?

No, it powers a huge share of the web. Risk comes from neglected updates and low-quality plugins, not the core software.
