3- High Security and Consistent Updates in WordPress Websites

There are some web-designers in the world who consider WordPress as a low secure CMS however this belief is totally wrong. Evidences to prove that it is wrong are many secure and important websites in the world which were always a target for hackers, but they could never reach that. Usually online websites can be attacked from 3 points: User Passwords, Client Side and Server Side.

Security from User’s Side

The first section that security becomes vital in it, is the security of users and website managers themselves. There are so many email or social media accounts being hacked every day, however it doesn’t mean that their websites are not secure enough. Most of the times it is lack of security in protecting passwords or sometimes there are predictable passwords.

Most common passwords used in Worldwide were “123456”, “qwerty” and “111111” which are absolutely predictable and unsecure. It becomes more interesting if you check the 10 most password used, by that you will have 50% of social media accounts passwords!! It means that 50% of social accounts use 10 most common passwords. Look how unsecure it can be!

Nevertheless, this issue has been considered in WordPress and by increasing the limits for choosing passwords from manager’s account, you can manage the accounts’ security and limit their passwords to be complicated. Also, if a user enters a wrong password three times in a row, its account will be blocked by the system and he cannot use it for the next 1 hour. This will protect your website from robot attackers on WordPress.

WordPress Core’s Security

We should consider WordPress as a product of millions of people and any security issue can put all of them in danger. That’s why the WordPress core get consistent updates and upgrades. If you just keep your pace with all the updates, you won’t face any security issue. Most of the websites which have been hacked, did not have updates for more than a year.

WordPress Website Security in Servers

In this section, WordPress has a high standard security and most of the problems reported were from coding or additional features. Also, it can be from non-standard or unlocked addons in your website which will definitely decrease your security and increase the probability to be hacked.

Some security issues can be also from the server companies directly and in this case, it doesn’t matter whether you’re using WordPress or any other CMS.
