Description
I often get asked by the WordPress website owners – IS WORDPRESS SECURE? Well the simple answer is yes, but you will need to take some basic security measures, or else the stats of WordPress websites getting hacked is quite high but that’s for other websites too. Hence, with this course, we will learn to protect your WordPress websites.

Many popular websites use WordPress – nearly 35% of the market uses WordPress to build their sites. So the platform itself is very strong, the only flaw is when we expose the websites to security vulnerabilities unknowingly and forget to take the basic security measures. But don’t worry, this course will guide you on protecting your WordPress website.

The tutorial is short and to the point, with very little yet precise explanations. Please feel free to get back to me for any confusion.
