It’s time to spring clean your website

Hello there, Just like your home, your website can accumulate clutter and dust over time, making it easier for hackers to explore vulnerabilities and gain access to your files and valuable information. The good news is that, unlike home cleaning, tidying up your website is faster, easier and the benefits last longer. To help you get started, this month we are launching a short email series on the topic of website cleaning. Here are some practical tips on how to declutter your website for even stronger security. Clean up your WordPress website If you use WordPress, take special care of your website, application, theme, and plugins with these easy-to-follow tips: ● Make sure your WordPress version and plugins are up-to-date – we do this automatically for websites, hosted on SiteGround; ● Clean up your user roles and permissions: review and remove inactive users or limit access for certain users only to the resources they require; ● Update your passwords: make sure you're using strong, secure credentials, and 2FA; ● Clean up unused plugins and themes: even when deactivated, outdated plugins and themes can open up security vulnerabilities on your site. Delete any plugins and themes that you are not using to reduce clutter and lower the risk of security breaches. To make sure you have covered it all, install our free SiteGround Security plugin for WordPress in just a few clicks and enable all recommended security features.
