WordPress is currently powering over 30% of websites on the internet making it probably the most popular content management system in the world. Unfortunately that makes it a target for hackers so how can we help keep your site secure?
WordPress is a popular, flexible and powerful solution to build and manage a website. It's popularity means there is a wealth of features and add-ons available to easily add new features and functionality.
While this popularity is great for users and website owners it makes it a worthwhile target for hackers to develop strategies and approaches to try and get into your site. It’s time well spent with so many opportunities available.
As a result we have seen a significant increase in attacks on WordPress sites over the last 12 months. Most weeks we are approached by clients with hacked or compromised sites. Often this is due to badly installed (often using the one click install function hosts provide) or out of date WordPress versions or plugins giving attackers known and easy ways to compromise your site.
That’s why it is so important to ensure your WordPress site is setup and secured correctly and kept up to date. Couple this with an effective backup and restore strategy and you can ensure your site will be in the best shape moving forward. If something does happen you can restore from backup within minutes.
When installed and configured correctly, and kept up to date, WordPress is a very secure and stable platform.
All of these services are designed to get your WordPress site securely setup giving you peace of mind that your business can keep running smoothly.
Has your site been hacked or compromised or just want to know your site is as secure as possible?
