Security isn't a one-time setup; it's a set of habits. Here's a checklist you can complete this week.
1. Force HTTPS everywhere
Enable free SSL and redirect all traffic to HTTPS. Browsers now warn visitors on insecure pages.
2. Automate backups
Daily (or hourly) restore points let you recover quickly from mistakes, updates gone wrong, or malware.
3. Keep software updated
Outdated CMS plugins are the #1 cause of hacked sites. Enable automatic updates where possible.
4. Use strong, unique passwords + 2FA
Protect your hosting and CMS admin with a password manager and two-factor authentication.
5. Limit login attempts
Rate-limit and lock out brute-force attempts at the server level.
6. Run a web application firewall
A WAF blocks common attacks before they reach your application.
7. Scan for malware
Schedule regular scans so threats are caught early. LEAFOX includes scanning and a WAF on every plan.
