WordPress security: prevention is better than regret
Cleaning up a hacked website costs far more (in money, time and lost rankings) than keeping it protected. I harden your WordPress site, monitor it and control who gets in, so the problem never happens.
How do you protect a WordPress site against hacks?
WordPress security combines up-to-date software, strong passwords, restricted access, a firewall and file change monitoring. Most compromised websites are hacked through outdated plugins or themes. WP Sereno applies these measures preventively and monitors the site continuously.

Change and malware monitoring to spot anything unusual as early as possible.
Logins and passwords
Strong passwords, two-factor authentication and limits on admin login attempts.

Regular checks for malicious code or files that shouldn’t be there.

I review who has access and with what permissions: fewer doors, less risk.
FAQ
Questions about security
Is WordPress insecure?
WordPress itself is secure; what makes it vulnerable is not maintaining it: old plugins, weak passwords and default settings. That’s exactly what I fix.
What exactly do you do to protect it?
I keep everything updated, harden the configuration, secure logins with two-factor authentication, scan for malware and monitor changes to the site.
Do you monitor the website continuously?
Yes, with the maintenance plans I monitor status and security to catch problems before they grow.
What if they still manage to get in?
No system is 100% invulnerable. That’s why I combine prevention with verified backups and, if needed, fast cleanup and recovery.
Is it included in the plans?
Yes. Security is part of maintenance; higher plans add more monitoring and priority.
