WordPress is powerful, but it’s also a common target for hackers — especially if you don’t lock it down. Thankfully, securing it doesn’t take long.

First, use strong passwords and change the default login URL. Install a security plugin like Wordfence or Sucuri for extra layers of protection.

Always keep WordPress, your themes, and plugins updated. Old software is full of holes hackers love to exploit.

Use a backup plugin or host with daily backups. That way, even if something goes wrong, you’re never starting from zero.
