If you’re wondering whether the websites I build are secure, the short answer is: absolutely. Security is a top priority for me, and I take every measure to ensure your site is safe from hackers, brute force attacks, and other online threats. Let me walk you through how I keep your website locked down tight.
How do I protect your website?
1. Hidden Login Pages:
I use WPS Hide Login to move the WordPress login page to a custom URL. This means hackers can’t even find your login page to attempt a brute force attack. No more guessing games for them!
2. Limited Login Attempts:
To stop brute force attacks in their tracks, I use Loginizer Security. This plugin limits the number of login attempts and blocks suspicious IP addresses. If someone tries to guess your password too many times, they’re locked out. Simple and effective.
3. Super Strong Passwords:
I strongly recommend using LastPass, a secure password manager that generates and stores passwords that are literally impossible to guess. I’ll even walk you through how to set it up and use it properly. Your passwords (and your peace of mind) will be safe with me.
4. Regular Backups:
I perform regular backups of your site, especially after every major update or change. If anything ever goes wrong (though it’s rare!), your site can be restored in just a few minutes or hours. No data lost, no stress.
5. SSL Certificates:
While I don’t provide SSL certificates directly, I always recommend hosting services like Hostinger or HostGator, which include SSL certificates by default. This ensures your site is HTTPS-enabled, secure, and trustworthy for your visitors.
What happens if there’s an attack?
Even with all these measures, I know security is an ongoing process. If your site ever faces an attack (which is unlikely, but hey, I’m prepared), here’s what happens:
- Restore from Backup: Thanks to the regular backups I take, your site can be restored quickly. No need to panic, your data is safe.
- Strengthen Security: After restoring, I’ll analyze the attack, patch any vulnerabilities, and further strengthen your site’s defenses to prevent future issues.
How do I help you stay secure?
I believe in empowering my clients. That’s why I offer one-on-one sessions to teach you how to protect your passwords, manage your site securely, and understand the security measures in place. We can meet via Discord, WhatsApp, Google Meet, or any platform you prefer. Think of it as a mini security workshop tailored just for you.
My Guarantee:
While no website is 100% immune to attacks (let’s be real, even the biggest companies get hacked), I guarantee that your site will be as secure as possible. With regular backups, advanced security plugins, and my ongoing support, your site will be ready to handle whatever comes its way.
