WordPress Security Hardening

 

One issue that can significantly affect your website’s SEO, creditability and the ability to attract and retain visitors is website security.  In 2016, Google reported that more than 50 million website users were warned by their software that a website they are visiting may contain malware or configured in a way that could leak information.  Unfortunately, many of these sites don’t even realize they are compromised.  And Google actively blacklists websites it discovers as having security problems.

WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems today, which makes it a target for hackers.  Some site owners and web designers don’t realize that WordPress installs as a “development” platform, and additional work is required to make the website as secure as possible prior to being fully complete and launched publicly.

Many Web Hosts that install WordPress for you do not provide any WordPress security measures to prevent hack attacks.  We offer a full-service WordPress Security Hardening process that makes your website less of a target for hackers looking for a site to hack quickly.

Don’t be the victim of a ransom, hacking attacks, or being blacklisted by Google.  Have your website’s security hardened!

Service Descriptions

* Keeping a WordPress website updated to the latest security releases is extremely important for site health. On our Yearly Maintenance Plan, we will provide Weekly Backup Services, Uptime Monitoring, and update your WordPress core, Plugins and Themes to the latest security versions throughout the year. No need to hire a developer to perform these services.

* SSL prevents hackers from stealing your visitor’s passwords and personal information. We will enable SSL on your server, if available form your hosting provider. Additionally, we will enforce SSL access on all pages and files on your website, especially the login form.

Note that some of these tasks will require various levels of access to your website, web server and hosting account. We will provide instructions on how to allow us access to your server without compromising your website’s security.
