Security<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress security: prevention is better than regret<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you protect a WordPress site against hacks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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 Most compromised websites are hacked through outdated plugins or themes.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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Site hardening<\/h3>\n

Configuration tweaks that close WordPress’s most common security holes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Logins and passwords<\/h3>\n

Strong passwords, two-factor authentication and limits on admin login attempts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Malware scanning<\/h3>\n

Regular checks for malicious code or files that shouldn’t be there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FAQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions about security<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Is WordPress insecure?<\/summary>

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.<\/p><\/details>\n

What exactly do you do to protect it?<\/summary>

I keep everything updated, harden the configuration, secure logins with two-factor authentication, scan for malware and monitor changes to the site.<\/p><\/details>\n

Do you monitor the website continuously?<\/summary>

Yes, with the maintenance plans I monitor status and security to catch problems before they grow.<\/p><\/details>\n

What if they still manage to get in?<\/summary>

No system is 100% invulnerable. That’s why I combine prevention with verified backups and, if needed, fast cleanup and recovery.<\/p><\/details>\n

Is it included in the plans?<\/summary>

Yes. Security is part of maintenance; higher plans add more monitoring and priority.<\/p><\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
