Because WordPress is so popular, it’s also a big target for hackers. The good news is that keeping your site safe isn’t hard – it just needs a few habits.

Always update WordPress, plugins, and themes as soon as new versions are released. Use strong passwords and avoid “admin” as your username. Back up your site regularly – there are free plugins that do it automatically.

And finally, install a security plugin like Wordfence or iThemes Security. These act like a burglar alarm, locking out suspicious activity before it causes damage.

A few minutes of maintenance now can save days of stress later.
