Securing your website is essential to protect sensitive data, maintain user trust, and prevent costly downtime. Start by using strong, unique passwords for all admin accounts and regularly updating them. Implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security.

Next, install reputable security plugins or firewalls to monitor and block malicious activity. Keep your CMS, themes, and plugins up to date, as outdated software is a common entry point for hackers. Make regular backups, so you can restore your site quickly if anything goes wrong.

Also, use SSL certificates to encrypt data between your site and users, which is especially important for e-commerce or sites that handle personal information. Limit login attempts, disable unnecessary features, and set proper user permissions to reduce risk.

Overall, website security is an ongoing process—it’s not just about tools, but about staying vigilant and proactive.
