Today, most of the hosting providers offer free SSL along with the hosting service. Depending on your hosting provider, you may need to obtain an SSL certificate and then install it. Just ask your hosting provider to enable SSL for your domain.<\/p>\n<p>In the secured website, a browser and a server attempt to connect to a website securely by encrypting data. SSL helps to keep an internet connection secure and safeguards any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems (server and client). SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. So, only encrypted data is transferred over the internet on the SSL website.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few plugins that can help you install SSL on your WordPress websites.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/really-simple-ssl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Really Simple SSL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ssl-insecure-content-fixer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SSL Insecure Content Fixer\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-force-ssl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Force SSL<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Keep_Strong_Admin_Password_and_Keep_it_Secret\"><\/span>2.

You need to set a strong password so that someone can not easily guess it. Some people guess their password easily, which is a blundering mistake. An advanced user can easily crack your password and get into your system.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, a combination of characters, capital letters, and numbers is considered to be a strong password. A plain password like <strong>123453<\/strong> or <strong>password<\/strong> as an example of an insecure password.<\/p>\n<p>A strong password can be something like <strong>P@s5w0rD#453. <\/strong>You also need to change the admin username to something different.<\/p>\n<p>As we all know, a password is everything for a business. Your password should be a secret that no one knows except your business partner or trusted friends.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_Updated_WordPress_Version\"><\/span>3. Keep Updated WordPress Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acmethemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wordpress.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress\" width=\"339\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keeping up do date WordPress versions also helps to secure your WordPress website. It is good practice to keep your website up to date with the latest security features. Developers keep in mind that with every new update, they put extra effort into security. You can be safe from pre-identified loopholes and exploited hackers, which a hacker uses to gain access to your site.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you need to regularly update your plugins and themes as they are coming up with extra security features in each update.<\/p>\n<p>You can check the update option from the <strong>Dashboard&gt;Update<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acmethemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/wordpress-update.png\" alt=\"wordpress update\" width=\"459\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n<p>WordPress automatically suggests that you update to a newer version of the software. But it is important to know that before proceeding with big updates, you need to keep a safe backup of your data. It is because in some cases, you may lose your data.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Setup_Double_Authentication_Login\"><\/span>4. Setup Double Authentication Login<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acmethemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Two-factor-authentication.png\" alt=\"Two factor authentication\" width=\"654\" height=\"504\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two-factor authentication allows you to set up a two-step login attempt. After setting up, you have to provide two login credentials to be able to log in to the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress plugins like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/miniorange-2-factor-authentication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Authenticator<\/a> by miniOrange let you set up double authentication for WordPress websites. It provides two-factor authentication (2FA, MFA) whenever you log in to your WordPress website, ensuring no unauthorized access to your website.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the best ways to protect your website from unauthorized access. Only those who know the password and extra secret question will have access to the admin login.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Change_Admin_Path\"><\/span>5. Change Admin Path<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acmethemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hide-admin-login-url.png\" alt=\"hide admin login url\" width=\"636\" height=\"252\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Changing the Admin URL is another best practice to keep your WordPress website secure. This practice protects your website by changing the login URL and preventing access to the wp-login.php page and the wp-admin directory while not logged in.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Normal URL &#8211; www.website.com\/admin . or www.website.com\/wp-admin\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Changed URL &#8211; www.website.com\/miksi3221<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In WordPress, the default admin URL can be accessed by \/admin or \/wp-admin. But once you customize it, you can put any words in the admin URL section. This helps in preventing the third person from getting access to the admin login panel.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress plugins like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wps-hide-login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WPS Hide Login<\/a> by WPServeur help to set up a login URL. It doesn\u2019t literally rename or change files in core, nor does it add rewrite rules. It simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. The wp-admin directory and the wp-login.php page become inaccessible, so you should bookmark or remember the URL. This plugin is super easy to set up and use.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Install_Security_Plugin\"><\/span>6.

A security plugin takes care of your website&#8217;s overall security, from scanning malware to blocking malicious attacks. You do not need to manually check the status of your website, instead, these plugins keep monitoring everything you should do.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordfence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wordfense<\/a> includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner that was built from the ground up to protect WordPress.

Relying only on plugins and tools does not guarantee that your website is 100% risk-free. You need continuous monitoring of the website with a periodic report. Besides the above-listed tasks, some important tasks include the regular backup of the website, performing a security audit, keeping track of website performance, and many more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lastly\"><\/span>Lastly,<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is always crucial to keep track of your website security and monitor it as it goes.
