Great info about securing, backing up and optimizing your WordPress site by security geek MaAnna Stephenson from BlogAid on Zara Altair's Midweek Zap. Timestamps below on some of the highlights, but the entire show is worth watching.
We noticed the main theme throughout is the importance of backing up your website and database - and we could not agree more! (Backup your website, database and email in the Cloud. We offer a free trial - check us out! http://Dropmysite.com)
01:20 - BACKUP! MaAnna Stephenson says she finds an average of 26 security holes when she audits a website as well as people backing up incorrectly. "Backups are your only security blanket" and need to be stored offsite.
03:10 - Don't count on your hosting company to backup for you!
05:45 - A false sense of security; MaAnna Stephenson talks about why you should not be relying on plugins alone.
09:45 - Get rid of unnecessary plugins and properly configure the ones you are using; many are serious resource hogs and are slowing your site down.
17:15 - Keep your site updated and backed up DAILY!
18:05 - You need a good backup solution. MaAnna Stephenson gives her list of preferred security plugins and stresses again the importance of backing up.
25:35 - MaAnna Stephenson answers questions about DDoS attacks.
33:01 - "The days of DIY are over." MaAnna Stephenson lays it out that cheap hosting isn't going to cut it anymore. If you want security, backups, performance and reliability, you are going to need to pay for it.
