  1. Keep WordPress Updated: Regularly update your WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch security vulnerabilities.

  2. Use Strong Passwords: Use complex passwords for your WordPress admin, database, and hosting accounts. Avoid using default usernames like "admin."

  3. Install a Security Plugin: Utilize a reputable security plugin like Wordfence, Sucuri, or iThemes Security to enhance your site's protection.

  4. Set Correct File Permissions: Configure file and directory permissions appropriately. Limit file permissions to the minimum necessary for functionality.

  5. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Implement 2FA for an additional layer of security, requiring users to provide a second form of verification.

  6. Regular Backups: Perform regular backups of your website. In case of a security incident, you can quickly restore your site to a previous state.

  7. Limit Login Attempts: Use a plugin to limit the number of login attempts to prevent brute force attacks.

  8. Secure the wp-config.php File: Protect your wp-config.php file by moving it to a higher-level directory and restricting access. This file contains sensitive information.

  9. Disable Directory Listing: Disable directory listing to prevent attackers from viewing the contents of your directories.

  10. Monitor and Audit Logs: Regularly review and monitor your website logs for suspicious activities. Set up alerts for login attempts, file changes, and other security-related events.

  11.  Change the wp-admin url
