Quick tips on design, file formats and cybersecurity.
Even a small website or email account can fall under attack. Weak passwords, outdated plugins, or phishing emails are often exploited to access data, send spam, or disrupt a website.
PHP is a programming language that powers much of the backend of WordPress and other websites. If you're using an outdated version of PHP, your site may slow down, experience compatibility issues, and increase security risks.
A good password is long, unique, and not related to your name, date of birth, or simple words. The safest way to do this is to use a password manager, which helps you create and store strong passwords without having to remember them all.
Two-factor authentication means that your password alone is not enough to log in. Even if your password falls into the wrong hands, you still need another form of verification to access your account, such as a code generated on your phone.
Plugin updates not only bring new features, but often also fix security holes and bugs. If updates are delayed for too long, your website may become insecure or start to crash after other changes.
