adding safe­guards to your Word­Press website

Word­Press sites designed and admin­istered by me not only look great, but are optim­ised for search engines, are reg­u­larly backed up and kept up-to-date with the latest technologies.

Although no web­site is 100% secure, my aim is simply to make it as hard as pos­sible for any­one to exploit any web­site I design.

As a mat­ter of course I install sev­eral plu­gins on your site that will pro­tect your web­site from hack­ers, spam­mers, auto­mated soft­ware, and bots that run rampant online. Word­Press is an extremely pop­u­lar sys­tem, and for that reason it’s also one of the most tar­geted for vulnerabilities.

I fol­low best prac­tices for pro­tect­ing and optim­ising your data:

    • Activ­a­tion of a Spam filter
    • Con­fig­ure the Permalinks
    • Change the Data­base Table’s prefix
    • Use .htac­cess as a Firewall
    • Inclu­sion of Cus­tom Secret Keys in wp-config.php
    • Search Engine Optim­isa­tion — includ­ing gen­er­a­tion of an XML sitemap
    • Setup of Ana­lyt­ics enabling you to track site vis­it­ors, with lots of use­ful data on their browsing
    • Cre­ation of a reg­u­lar Backup system
    • Set up Cach­ing to double or triple your site’s speed while redu­cing server load
    • Reg­u­lar updates of Plu­gins and Sys­tem Files
    • Install­a­tion of Secur­ity Plu­gins to pro­tect your web­site from hackers
    • Ensure that Users and Pass­words, Roles and Per­mis­sions are set up cor­rectly and are secure
    • Restrict the rate at which failed logins can be re-attempted

By imple­ment­ing the above, your web­site will be much safer.
