Sure, here are some technical steps you can take to secure your WordPress site:
1. Keep WordPress up to date: Make sure to regularly update WordPress to the latest version, including plugins and themes.
1. Install security plugins: Install WordPress security plugins such as Wordfence, Sucuri Security, iThemes Security, etc. These plugins can help monitor and protect your website against various threats.
1. Use strong passwords: Ensure that you and your users use strong, complex passwords that are hard to guess.
1. Limit login attempts: Use a plugin that limits login attempts and can block malicious users or bots trying to guess usernames and passwords.
1. Add HTTPS encryption: Add SSL/TLS encryption to your website by installing an SSL certificate. This will encrypt all data transmitted to and from your site.
1. Backup your site: Make regular backups of your website to protect against data loss in case of a security breach.
1. Use Two-Factor Authentication: Use plugins that enable two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for an extra layer of security.
1. Disable file editing: Disable the ability to edit WordPress files directly from the admin dashboard to prevent malicious users from making changes to your website files.
1. Disable directory browsing: Disable directory browsing, which allows users to see the list of files and folders on your website, from your website’s .htaccess file.
1. Use a web application firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to protect your website from automated attacks and common vulnerabilities.
