In this episode, part 2 in this series, I'm going to be discussing Wordpress website security, and the top things you can do to achieve top-notch security. I focus strictly on Wordpress.org websites, some plug-ins to utilize, and best practices to use for ongoing security.

Episode Highlights:

I share my favorite plug-ins for Wordpress security
Defining of a "firewall" and "security scanner", and what that means for your website.
I discuss the importance of backups, making sure you have more than 1 way to backup and my favorite plugin for backups.

3 Key Points:

It's crucial to have the right tools in place to protect your website.
Be sure you have at least 2 processes in place for backing up your website.
Taking the right steps, you can keep your site protected.
