  1. In the age of smartphones, getting your password hacked is one of the worst things that can happen to your business. All important documents are now virtually being shared and stored online. • If you are a WordPress web developer in Sydney or a blogger using WordPress, your site can easily be hacked. It has become increasingly easy to hack websites that do not have enough security. • WordPress websites are not compromised by sophisticated hackers but by bots written to exploit known vulnerabilities such as passwords, outdated plugins and poor quality web hosting.

  2. One of the easy ways to keep the security of your website intact is to keep changing your password once every two weeks. Avoid using the same password for all your internet accounts.

So, do not just create an easy password because you need a long and complex password to keep your wordpress site safe. CREATE A STRONG PASSWORD

  3. It is important to stop using plugins and themes that are not regularly updated. There can be a huge problem with security if your plugin or theme has not been updated in a year or more. Installing a good security plugin can also significantly decrease the chances of a cyber-attack. While shopping for a plugin or theme, look for features involving current support requests that have been answered in a timely manner. CHECK YOUR PLUGINS AND THEMES

  4. Be careful of the sites you visit because not all sites are safe and some can also be distributing malwares than can be embedded in your system and harm your website when you log-in. You will further decrease chances of a security breach on your own website if you make sure that your internet connection is private. Make sure that your real IP address is not visible to anyone else or you may become a victim of nasty DDoS attacks. You can inadvertently give your WordPress password through keystroke tracking as well. Usually a problem on public devices, this mechanism steals your password as you type them on keyboard. PROTECT YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

  5. It pays to be cautious and backup your website - something many people tend to overlook. It is crucial to have your website backed up. Backups are not always all that helpful in recovering from a WordPress hack but they are essential for disaster recovery. You may also want to purchase an external hard disk for daily backups of your entire website. If your site is backed up, there are less chances to lose months of hard work just because you did not kept another copy backed up. BACKUP YOUR WEBSITE
