Bulletproof Your WordPress

In today’s digital landscape, protecting your WordPress site is non-negotiable. This ultimate guide provides you with cutting-edge strategies to secure your site on SiteBay, ensuring that hackers are kept at bay and your data remains safe.

Lock Down with HTTP Password Authentication

Take control with SiteBay’s HTTP Password Auth. By setting up a robust authentication mechanism, you decide who can access your site. Simply log in with your credentials, switch on the HTTP Password Auth, and secure your access with a secret handshake that only you know.

Supercharge Your Security with Wordfence

Firewall Protection

Wordfence offers a powerful web application firewall that intercepts malicious traffic before it reaches your site, ensuring that potential threats are neutralized swiftly.

Advanced Malware Scanning

Regular scans with Wordfence detect malware, suspicious URLs, and backdoors. Stay one step ahead by catching vulnerabilities before they can cause damage.

Enhanced Login Security

Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection to your login process. This ensures that even if your password is compromised, your site remains secure.

Live Traffic Monitoring

Monitor your site’s traffic in real-time to quickly spot and block suspicious activity. Wordfence’s live traffic view gives you insights into who is visiting your site and what they are doing.

Reinforce with Cloudflare

Cloudflare enhances your site’s security by preventing DDoS attacks, securing data transactions, and improving performance. Use Cloudflare’s firewall rules to specifically safeguard your wp-login.php page:

  • Set Up: Log in to Cloudflare and navigate to the Firewall section.
  • Create Rule: Define a rule that allows only your IP address to access your login page, blocking all other attempts.
  • Deploy: Activate the rule to secure your login page from unauthorized access.
