WordPress Security for New Websites
For every new WordPress website we build, we include a security checklist for WordPress which includes the following:
- WordFence Security Plugin – Firewall, Malware scanning, and login security features
- Each new plugin checked to make sure it is updated often and highly rated
- Prevent directory browsing
- Protect wp-config.php file
- Protect .htaccess files
- Disable default theme editor (allows administrators and anyone who gains access to your site to edit theme code)
- Prevent File Execution in uploads directory
- Automated backups (we recommend offsite backups)
- Remove unused themes and plugins
- Check PHP version
- Contact form spam prevention (re-captcha or alternative)
- Login security captcha or 2FA
