Watch the Live Here: How to protect your WordPress website from being hacked?

 

In the online world, it’s super important to keep your WordPress website safe. Here are some easy steps to make sure it’s well protected:

1. Super Strong Password: Your password is like the key to your castle. Keep it secret, just for you. If someone needs access, make a new user with fewer powers. Keeping things secret is step one.

2. Change Your Username: Instead of using ‘Admin’ as your name, pick something tricky. ‘Admin’ is easy for bad guys. Make your username more complex to stay safe.

3. Keep Things Updated: Plugins are like your website’s bodyguards. Keep them up to date to keep your website safe and sound.

4. Secret Login Path: Change your login web address to something special. This makes it harder for hackers to get in.
