WP Security Tasks and Plugins

There are some security tasks that we have to implement.

1) During the installation change the Admin user name or after the installation use a plugin to perform the task.

2) During the installation change the default prefix of the tables of the database, you can do later with a plugin.

3) Limit the login attempts by using a plugin or a security plugin like Wordfence

4) use a plugin that informs you when a file changes on the disk

5) use the recommended file and folder permissions from WordPress (default)

6) use a plugin to change to path MYSITE/wp-admin to another path so the hacker is not going to know from where to log in

7)use a firewall

8) update the plugins, the theme, and the core WordPress regularly (always BACKUP AND THEN UPDATE) 

9) scan WordPress for malware and bugs

10) delete not used plugins and themes

11) use a plugin for SQL Injection

12) Backup the site often

 There are plugins that search the site for bugs, or even check is security level, use them.

There are a lot, for me the best is wordfence It has a FREE and PAID option.
