Ways To Secure
WordPress
Website
in Just 15 Minutes
Make sure your website is backed-up
 The first step is taking back-up your website is the most
secure way
 If your website is damaged or compromised in some way, you
can always recover from it
 Before making changes take a whole back up, so that we can
recover the website if we lost anything
 Check hosting provider, they will provide free backups
 If not we have loads of plugin available for WordPress
Delete all non-essential plugin, extension
or plugin
 Go for plugin option and look for plugins that are useless to
you
 Also, check plugins that are not maintained by developers
 We strongly recommend you that don't install any plugin over
2 years of non-maintenance
 How you identify? Check at wordpress.com and see for
updates, there you can find out the last update, then delete it
Install the wordfence firewall in “extended
protection” mode
 Go to Firewall menu and enable the extended protection
 This code always inspects the request before it executes the
PHP code includes WordPress core code
 It allows word fence to intercept and stop the vulnerability
before it even reaches the PHP applications
 Word fence protects other PHP applications that installed off
your WordPress base directory, even many doesn’t aware that
this happens automatically
Enable SSL for Data Security
 The most crucial step for website security is enabling SSL. This
enables you to encrypt the information from and to your
website. It secures the confidential data of all your viewers
 Identifying how is easy step, if your website starts with HTTPS
then is secured web page and if it starts with HTTP then is not
SSL secured web page
Change the Admin username
 Remember that everyone knows the Username is “admin”. So,
change it.
 Go to user section in admin panel
 Delete or rename the “admin” account or username
Secure your cPanel and Admin
Accounts
 Sign in WordPress website
 Go to Users -> All Users -> Select “Administrator” at the top of
the screen of all the users
 Just make sure you know all the accounts
 Suppose if you found any account seems foreign to you, then
your website is hacked
Continued…
 Then you must contact a security expert
 Delete all the unnecessary admin accounts
 The Admin password should be strong and must be random,
don’t use any specifics in the password
