Sometimes, people wonder if it’s worth securing their website, but the technical explanations about themes, plugins, databases, and content can be difficult to understand. So, let’s take a new approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What if your website were a car?<\/h2>\n

\"wordpress<\/p>\n

The Frame – WordPress<\/h2>\n

WordPress can last for years, but if you never update it, it may develop issues.<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Update your WordPress from your admin panel<\/li>\n
  2. Remove and re-upload WordPress to the server<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"update<\/a><\/p>\n

    The Paint (Theme)<\/h2>\n

    The paint represents the appearance of your website. A new theme or restyling can make your website look brand new and up-to-date.<\/p>\n

    How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make your website mobile and tablet-friendly<\/li>\n
    2. Add some new images to the content<\/li>\n
    3. A CSS coder<\/a> can work wonders with color adjustments<\/li>\n
    4. Add a slider with beautiful images<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"new<\/a><\/p>\n

      The Components – Plugins<\/h2>\n

      Plugins can become outdated and may cause issues.<\/p>\n

      What can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. You can update plugins from your admin panel<\/li>\n
      2. Remove the plugin and re-upload it to the server<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"update<\/a><\/p>\n

        The Wiring – Database<\/h2>\n

        The database is hidden away and requires little maintenance, but it’s worth checking.<\/p>\n

        How to optimize the database?<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Go to phpMyAdmin and select the tables to repair\/optimize<\/li>\n
        2. Remove old plugins, themes, pages, and posts that are no longer in use<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Thankfully, WordPress is not a car!<\/h2>\n

          While some knowledge and experience are required (or a WordPress expert<\/a>), it’s a matter of replacing the right information, and your WordPress website will be as good as new!<\/p>\n

          What can WPbeveiligen do for you?<\/h2>\n

          When we restore and secure your WordPress website, we thoroughly examine all files (like rust on a car) and ensure everything is polished and in place.<\/p>\n

          We also update or replace plugins, remove old unused information (in consultation), and ensure you have the latest WordPress update.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

          In short, a restoration and security service is not only an option when you’ve been hacked, but it’s also a great way to get your WordPress website in top shape, just like a good car maintenance check!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
