WordPress Hardening

Whether big or tiny, old or new, familiar or not, most hackers target WordPress sites that are easy to hack. Once within, they use the website to conduct a series of malicious actions that harm you and your users.

Sadly, when you are facing a hack, we understand the importance of having a security plan for the site. Here, we’ll discuss how we can boost our websites’ security to make it very difficult for hackers to get in.

1. Avoid blacklisting by Google

The chances are that Google will blacklist your website if your website gets hacked. That is because Google places the happiness and enjoyment of the customer first and foremost.

2. Avoid suspension of the web host

Like Google, the domain will also be removed by WordPress hosts like Hostgator, Siteground, or Bluehost if they find out you’re hacked.

Web hosts search the websites they have on their web servers daily. When you discover malware, your account will be suspended in case of shared hosting to protect other sites that they have on the same domain.

3. Quality optimization

Hackers conduct malicious activities using your website. They need to make use of the tools of your website to incorporate them. This will overload your server and reduce your site ‘s efficiency.

When you’re hardening your platform, you’ll be safe from hackers, and you can concentrate on ensuring that your platform runs at its maximum efficiency.

4. Seal vulnerable identified areas

Hardening steps allow you to lock weak entry points that you often do not use. That way, from these known areas, hackers cannot access your site, and you can remain secure.

Hacked WordPress sites placed users at potential risk of stolen or uploading malicious content/software from their information.

It’s a long process to delete Google Blacklist, and the only way to stop it altogether.

Another explanation of why your account will be suspended is that your compromised WordPress website will surpass the resource cap permitted on the server.

If you choose not to harden your website, you would not only face the consequences mentioned above, you would also be losing traffic and potential customers. Your ad partner could face suspension. And lastly, you will experience a decline in sales; it goes without saying.
