Plugins/tools recommendations from my 7+ years of WordPress experience.
You run a self-hosted WordPress website and know that your WordPress site’s security is important. You can’t afford it if your website is compromised.
You put it on the back burner because it sounds intimidating and difficult to understand.
What does website security include anyway? Like, what do you need to do to make it secure?
Who would have time to learn all that when you’re busy trying to make sales?
You’re a busy small business owner and either built your website yourself or hired someone else to do it.
Or maybe you have a 9-5 job and run a side hustle website.
Either way, you pretty much keep it running and deal with the web host by yourself.
You DIY your way through most website challenges.
Nothing is critical as long as your site doesn’t crash or get hacked.
All you want from WordPress is to let you log in and get your work done. That’s all. You’re solid. You don’t need help.
If you leave it like that, you leave a door open for a hacker to spot you and attack. What could happen next is unforgivable.
Take over and take advantage of your hard-earned website assets with sensitive information.
Demand a ransom.
You might have to involve a lawyer to fight back.
That’s because your server resources will get drained by those malicious activities happening in the background. They sure waste a TON of energy.
Nightmare, isn’t it?
It could be even more crushing especially if your business is in the sustainability space aiming to reduce carbon footprint; not increase it.

It’s a free WordPress Security Checklist that will guide you to do this important work. You’ll become much more relieved; like a weight lifted off your shoulders.
That’s because:
It helps you understand your website security situation more.
This gives you clarity and confidence about how protected your site is.
It helps make your site more secure with the added security layers.
In the long term, you have more time and energy to do other business activities as you no longer worry about your site security.
If this surprises you, here’s a brief explanation:
Whenever a website is secure and well-maintained,
; ) Bonus point if your web host’s data centers run on renewable energy!
This checklist will get technical and a bit complicated for some. But it is truly doable!
You’ll dive into some parts of the website you never or rarely visit. As long as you follow the steps in this checklist (most will be copy and paste code, really) and always have a backup plan (e.i. backup files), you can achieve them just like other WordPress challenges you have tackled.
I tried my best to explain each process in a simplified way. Sometimes I included guides that are helpful and easy to understand.
You are an established small business owner, or nonprofit, or you have a 9-5 job and run a website for your side hustle or someone else’s. AND…

I was born and raised in Thailand, now settled in Sammamish, WA. I’m a WordPress developer adopting web sustainability to build and maintain websites for small businesses, nonprofits, and DIY users.
With over 7 years of WordPress experience and multiple brands and nonprofits I have served, I came across many poorly maintained websites. They’re slow, unoptimized, bloating, and vulnerable.
It pains me to see these mission-driven websites hindered because they lack a solid website maintenance system; a fundamental system to keep a website alive and healthy.
That’s how my passion for simplifying WordPress maintenance for these businesses began. Starting with WordPress security, and then WordPress optimization. Pair them up to make a routine; a WordPress maintenance routine.
Try out this checklist now and start a journey to make your site more secure.
