7 Security Steps Every Website Should Enable Today

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Outdated CMS plugins are the #1 cause of hacked sites.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.
