WordPress security is about reducing risk, not eliminating it completely.
A secure WordPress website requires correct configuration, regular updates and careful usage.
Security is an ongoing process.
Why WordPress Security Matters #
WordPress websites are often targeted because:
- WordPress is widely used
- Many sites run outdated software
- Weak passwords are common
- Vulnerable plugins are frequently installed
Most attacks are automated, not targeted.
Core Security Principles #
Basic WordPress security relies on:
- Keeping software updated
- Using strong passwords
- Limiting user permissions
- Reducing unnecessary plugins
- Monitoring unusual behavior
Ignoring basics is the main cause of compromises.
