- Remove unused themes and plugins.
- Install only reputable plugins.
- Enable automatic minor updates.
- Configure backups before building heavily.
After launch
Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated. Review admin users regularly and remove anything unfamiliar.
App maintenance
Installers make launch easier, but owners still need updates, backups, strong passwords, SSL, spam protection, and periodic reviews. Remove unused apps because abandoned scripts are a common source of compromises.
