Building a secure WordPress website

“

- [Allie] These days website visitors are smarter than ever. They know that sending information like their payment info or email addresses can be risky. So your site needs to be as secure as possible in order to make sure that users have an optimal experience. I'm Allie Nimmons and I spent years designing, developing, maintaining and securing WordPress websites. After launching over a hundred websites, I'm extremely passionate about making sure that the CMS which powers the majority of the web actively contributes toward making the internet a safer place overall. And that starts with websites just like yours. In this course, we will take a no-code approach to site security. I'll explain how to choose and how to maintain plugins and themes. We'll talk about how to set up and troubleshoot an SSL certificate. We'll discuss firewall options and go over exactly what a firewall does to protect your site. Do you have an e-commerce website? We'll take a deeper look at what extra steps you can take to protect it. And I'll give you some of my personal recommendations for free and paid tools to look into. And then the final chapter, you can level up and grab some optional code snippets that I recommend for an extra layer of security. So let's get started so you can secure your website and hit the web ASAP.
