How to Secure Your WordPress Website

Benefits of Sucuri for WordPress
The biggest benefit Sucuri has to offer is its many features. If used proactively, they can help you to establish an ongoing, effective security strategy.
Blacklist Monitoring is a great feature that helps you to ensure that your visitors can see your website. Rather than having to check each blacklist for your website, Sucuri monitors the popular ones for you and displays them nicely in your WordPress Dashboard. This insight allows you to resolve being blacklisted sooner than later.
File Integrity Monitoring is another benefit of securing your WordPress website with the Sucuri plugin. This feature prevents unauthorized changes from going undetected.
Remote Malware Scanning can help identify issues that may cause your website to be flagged by Google as malicious. SiteCheck runs automatically and the scan results are conveniently displayed in the Sucuri security dashboard (inside of your WordPress dashboard). Although the remote scan is not a 100% guarantee, it can help identify many kinds of malware.
NOTE: You can subscribe to one of Sucuri’s premium plans to complement remote malware scanning with server-side scanning and manual auditing.
Security Notifications help keep you aware of security issues. They can be configured to notify you as much or as little as you deem necessary. Remember:
“The sooner you are aware of security vulnerabilities, the quicker you can mitigate them.”
These are just a few of the many benefits that Sucuri provides for WordPress. Check out the features included in our WordPress Hosting plans to learn more about how InMotion Hosting helps make securing your WordPress website easier for you.
