More preventive approach to plugins

    My site is up and running, and I hope to keep it that way.

    Is there a list of plugin protections you need to keep your site healthy? I know it depends on the site your running, but I’m wondering if there is somewhat of a list on this forum.

    I’m looking for at least the minimum plugin protection you need to achieve this state. If this has already been discussed, then please direct me to that discussion. I’m asking this because everywhere I turn, this or that plugin always come up.

  • I strongly recommend every site to install WordFence (I use the free version) because it can help to block brute logins, attacks and notify you if someone login to your dashboard (which I find this feature very useful).

    You can check out the following video for the wordfence setup walkthrough

    Also, remember to backup your website regularly!

    Thanks for WordFence, I’ll look at it.

    But I have a more general questions about plugins. I just went into WP Toolkit and noticed a lot of security features – too many to name here. So why do I need more plugin security features on top of the ones in cPanel?

    I known security is a process and constantly evolving, but I’m really curious as to the minimum security that would keep you safe.

    You may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures and start backing up your site.

    James, thanks for the articles. It’s on my summer reading list.
