Having a valid SSL certificate will improve your website's SEO rankings. All of the major browsers will not trust your website, and some (e.g., Google Chrome) will punish your site by decreasing its search engine ranking for your site. Not having an SSL certificate will make your website appear as “Not Secure” in the address bar.
An SSL Certificate – is it important and how to get one? If you already have one is it valid?
One of the most compelling reasons to resize images for the web is to optimize page load times. Large, high-resolution images can significantly slow down a website’s loading speed. This can lead to higher bounce rates, as impatient users are likely to leave a site that takes too long to load.

Deleting inactive themes is a good habit since themes (and other software) can make your site more vulnerable to security threats. This is because the software gives hackers more opportunities to exploit and infiltrate your site. Additionally, inactive themes still store files in your database, taking up space. This can make your hosting plan more expensive and slow down your website’s performance by bloating its database. There are four ways to deactivate and delete a theme in WordPress: Remove a theme using the admin dashboard. Remove a theme via FTP. Remove a theme via cPanel. Remove a theme via WP-CLI. Before even thinking about deleting WordPress themes, it’s best to make a backup of your entire site. A good hosting company automatically backs up all your site files, database tables and WooCommerce data at least once every 24 hours. Plus, you can restore your website from any location, even if you can’t access your dashboard. Should your hosting plan not include backup you can use an excellent plugin: Jetpack VaultPress Backup.

#WordPressSecurity Hackers try to destroy websites all the time. It is vital for you to have effective website security. You might have the fastest, the busiest, the prettiest website around but if it gets hacked then what? Interestingly enough, it is not difficult to keep your website secure. How to protect your website in 2022? Read the full Blog Post: https://www.wordpresstrainingjohannesburg.com/protect-your-website-in-2022-wordpress-security/ Choose a Good Hosting Company Inexpensive hosting can cost you dearly in the long term. The simplest way to keep your site secure is to go with a hosting company that provides multiple layers of security. There are a number of reputable hosting providers such as BlueHost (USA), Hetzner (Germany), WordPress (USA), XNeelo (South Africa) and others. Choose a hosting company that can significantly speed up your WordPress site, offers reasonable pricing and support 24/ 7, 365 days a year. Use a Good Theme There are a number of reputable organizations offering great themes such as: Astra, Twenty Twenty-One, Twenty Twenty-Two, Neve, etc… Don’t Use Nulled Themes WordPress Free themes offer many features. Premium themes offer even more features. There are sites offering nulled or cracked themes. A nulled or cracked theme is a hacked version of a premium theme, available via illegal means. Those themes contain hidden malicious code, which can destroy your website and database. WordPress Updates By staying updated with the latest version you are helping protect your site against being a target for pre-identified loopholes and exploits hackers can use to gain access to your site. Update: to the latest version of WordPress theme: keep your theme up to date plugins: enable auto-updates. Use a Strong Password Passwords are a very important part of website security and often overlooked. Do not use passwords such as: ‘123456’, ‘abcdef’, ‘admin’, ‘password’. Use a complex password with a variety of letters, numbers and special characters such as % or @ or $. Users Malicious bots register on your website for various reasons: they’re looking for weaknesses in your site to exploit them for further gain; to gather all of your email addresses and send spam; steal your identity, etc… Go to ‘Users’ and delete the ones that need deletion. Block Comment Spam – Akismet Akismet is a service that filters spam from comments, trackbacks, and contact form messages. The filter works by combining information about spam captured on all participating sites, and then using those spam rules to block future spam. Akismet is offered by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. Google reCAPTCHA Protect WordPress website forms from spam entries with Google reCaptcha. Easily apply reCAPTCHA to any page and post. There are a number of plugins offering reCAPTCHA. I use reCaptcha by BestWebSoft. This plugin passed all the tests on WP Hive Insights. Install an Effective WordPress Security Plugin There are a number of very good security plugins two of the better known being Sucuri and Wordfence. I use Wordfence on various sites. Both Sucuri and Wordfence scans will examine all files on your WordPress website looking for malicious code, backdoors and shells that hackers might have installed. They also scan for known malicious URLs and known patterns of infections. These plugins automatically update for the latest firewall rules, malware signatures and malicious IPs to keep your website safe. Sucuri is a premium plugin whereas Wordfence offers a free as well as a premium plan. The free version of Wordfence offers many useful features. Limit Login Attempts, Block IP Addresses, Install Two-Factor Authentication and Install Google reCAPTCHA By default, WordPress allows users to try to login as often as they like. This opens the possibility to brute force attacks. By limiting the number of login attempts, users can try a limited number of times until they are temporarily blocked. You can also set the time the user is locked out for. This reduces the possibility of a brute force attempt as hackers gets locked out before they can finish their attack. If you setup two-factor authentication make sure you don’t lock yourself out. If you are using an effective security plugin such as Worfdence all these features will be provided (these features are all included in the free version of Wordfence). Install Wordfence and then go through the settings. Install an SSL Certificate Google will rank your website higher on Google search if your website’s URL starts with https instead of http. Conclusion Keeping your website safe is vital and it is not difficult. Much success with your website security. If this video was helpful please give it the thumbs-up👍 and subscribe to my channel.
