It’s no small surprise that security has become a significant concern for web developers and site owners. As the internet exploded in popularity and became the new go-to method of communication, research, and shopping, website security checks are critical to thwarting the spread of malware and spam.

Whether you run a tiny personal blog or a huge multinational online store, the threat of getting hacked is always present. Some people will deface your site and embed malware in it, attempt to steal your or your customers’ data, and delete important content on your server. You need to protect yourself and your sensitive information.

Let’s figure out exactly how secure your site is right now. WordPress is secure out of the box, but it takes a little work to patch it up entirely.
