Key Website Security Strategies Covered
Keep Your Website Monitored and Updated
- Check your website at least weekly by visiting both the front-end and back-end dashboard
- Look for signs of malware infections that may be hidden in core WordPress files
- Monitor for the “white screen of death,” blue screens, or red warning screens from Google
- Don’t let weeks or months pass without physically checking your site’s functionality
Implement Daily Backup Systems
- Set up automatic daily database backups using plugins like BackWP (Back Up WordPress)
- Perform full website backups every two weeks minimum
- Store backups externally so you can quickly restore if your site gets compromised
- Database backups are most critical since they contain all your content and settings
Create Strong Password Security
- Never use simple passwords like “123456” or “admin”
- Implement passwords with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
- Use password management tools like Dashlane instead of storing passwords in browsers
- Avoid storing passwords in Google Chrome due to security vulnerabilities
- Never share your main admin password with anyone
Eliminate Default Admin Usernames
- Replace any “admin” usernames immediately with unique alternatives
- Create a new user account before deleting the old admin account
- Log out as admin, log back in with the new username, then delete the admin account
- This prevents hackers from easily guessing your login credentials
Update Everything Regularly
- Install plugin updates as soon as they become available (sometimes multiple times daily)
- Keep WordPress core software updated to the latest version
- Outdated plugins and themes create security vulnerabilities that hackers actively exploit
- Consider professional maintenance services if you don’t have time for regular updates

Unknown
Now that’s a membership summit. That’s what it stands for. So see us at corporation.com/into IMS. And it starts next week. And you want to be in on it.
00:06:16:48 – 00:06:19:18
Unknown
All right it’s tech time
00:06:19:18 – 00:06:22:16
Unknown
now I have to be honest I can’t remember if I did this last,
00:06:22:16 – 00:06:33:08
Unknown
the last episode or not. I don’t think that I did, but I could have because so much went on with getting that bundle already. That was a lot of work.
00:06:33:08 – 00:06:35:23
Unknown
And this
00:06:35:23 – 00:06:46:28
Unknown
tech time thingy is great for you if you want to start promoting, you know, put your logo on t shirts like this shirt right here needs a logo, right?
00:06:46:28 – 00:07:07:11
Unknown
I bought it plain like this, but it needs a logo, I need something, I have a billboard waiting right there. Or some pins or even flip flops. Are towels gifts you want to give your your peeps? And that is Printful. So I’m an affiliate of Printful, so you can go there and check it out. And guess what? You don’t have to buy anything.
00:07:07:11 – 00:07:28:44
Unknown
If you go to CSR corporation.com/printful, you will be directed to the Printful page. And if you sign up or buy something, you know, I’ll make a commission on it, but it doesn’t have anything to do with you, so it’s free to get in there, put your logo on stuff and you don’t pay them anything until it sells. And guess what?
00:07:28:44 – 00:07:31:15
Unknown
And this is the biggest thing I love about Printful
00:07:31:15 – 00:07:45:07
Unknown
when people click that button and buy whatever it is you’re trying to get them to buy, you get your money right away and then they give you the commission right there. It goes to your PayPal account or whatever. You’ve set up your money.
00:07:45:07 – 00:07:48:28
Unknown
Transaction thing as and the rest of it goes to them.
00:07:48:37 – 00:08:08:01
Unknown
And then they fulfill everything. They deliver it to whoever it needs to be to deliver it to. They get the right size, all that stuff. They do all that and they give you your commission upfront. I’ve dealt with some other companies that, you know, they hold your commission for 90 days or, they don’t ever pay you. But this one is cool.
00:08:08:01 – 00:08:30:17
Unknown
This one is cool. I like do it, it is great. And it connects to your WooCommerce store on your WordPress website. Now, I’m not sure if Printful is just for WordPress, or it can be for any store, and I think you can use it with, Shopify as well. But you know, I’m a WordPress girl, so I was glad that I found them and I use them a lot.
00:08:30:17 – 00:08:53:01
Unknown
I have a whole, if you want to go, if you want to see some of the things I’ve done, you can go to see us at corporation.com and then go, click on the work with work with Us tab and you’ll see the store will come up with the and go under our apparel and you’ll see all the t shirts we created, all these get things that have our logo and stuff like that on it.
00:08:53:01 – 00:09:07:47
Unknown

Okay. Let’s get into the nine ways to protect your site from hackers. Now I can’t go over all of these because we’ll be here forever because I’m going to talk about them individually. But I am going to go over the one, two, three, five of them. So for more and I’m going to tell you how how you can get the other four, because I created a whole download for this.
00:11:47:10 – 00:12:10:59
Unknown
So let’s go through and talk about the nine ways okay. Number one that I’m going to cover, not number one I’m not going to cover this one. But number one is install the right plugins. WordPress has power, the powers and the plugins, but you gotta install the right ones that go over that whole thing in the download. Number two is to keep it up and running.
00:12:10:59 – 00:12:35:50
Unknown
I have a special secret, if you will, that’s still free. I believe that will tell you if your site is up and running or not. But number three, check it. We’re going to get into this. You need to keep tabs on your website so you can stay in front of any down situation. What does that mean? That means you can’t go for days, weeks, months and years and not look at your site and just think that everything’s running hunky dory.
00:12:35:55 – 00:12:57:27
Unknown
It may be, it may not be, but I’m telling you, things happen. Minute by minute, second by second, definitely day by day. And if you go a week without checking your website, you may go back and find you have a white screen of death, a blue screen of craziness, the red screen of, oh my God, Google’s not going to list me anymore, so you need to check it.
00:12:57:28 – 00:13:06:53
Unknown
And that means physically going to your website, your URL, put that in there, go to the site, go to each page and make sure it’s up and running and looking well.
00:13:06:53 – 00:13:15:04
Unknown
Right. And then you need to go on the inside on the back end of your site into the dashboard and make sure there’s no fucking this going on.
00:13:15:04 – 00:13:36:03
Unknown
All your plugins working. Did some malware infection get in there and you don’t even see it, because some of those infections just get into the core files of WordPress. You don’t see it on the outside, but they’re using your site as a launch pad to it. Get people to go to all these crazy sites. So you got to look at it.
00:13:36:07 – 00:13:58:37
Unknown
You had to physically look at it. I would say once a week at least, maybe once a day. I go into my website at least 2 to 3 times a week, maybe even more, depending on what’s going on or if I have something rolling or whatever. But, I don’t go without I don’t go further than a week, you know, or four days, maybe without looking at my website to make sure it’s okay.
00:13:58:41 – 00:14:03:35
Unknown
All right. The number four thing to keep hackers away is that back, that thing,
00:14:03:35 – 00:14:18:16
Unknown
you know how you do it. Backing up, looking over. Yes. You need to backup your website, and it needs to be backed up every single day. Did you hear me? Every single day. It was a great plugin that I have that you can use to do this.
00:14:18:16 – 00:14:23:36
Unknown
And this called Back Up WordPress. What? How ingenious is that? Right. So what it does, you can set it,
00:14:23:36 – 00:14:36:41
Unknown
to back up your database every day automatically. You don’t do anything. You just set it and kind of forget that, you know, keep your eye on it, but kind of forget that. And then you need to back of your whole, entire website at least once every two weeks.
00:14:36:41 – 00:15:00:05
Unknown
The database is the most important because if something happens, if it get hacked, gets hacked or something on a Monday, you can go back to your backup that you had on either Sunday or Saturday, or sometimes you got to go back to Friday, depending on when the heck happened, and restore your whole site. You’re not down. You’re not going crazy.
00:15:00:05 – 00:15:14:42
Unknown
What is going on? So, you know, if you don’t want to lose time and money from your website being offline, you need to back it up regularly. And like I say, the database is every day or a day and then the full website is every two weeks.
00:15:14:42 – 00:15:20:59
Unknown
So number five, in keeping your website up and running smoothly is keep it strong.
00:15:21:01 – 00:15:54:03
Unknown
The passwords I’m talking about do not use 1234567. I don’t even know if they’ll allow you to do that anymore because I have my website set to well, nobody comes into my website anyway. I am very particular about who I would even allow in my site. I don’t have any freelance writers or freelance whatever, and we do our own backup and maintenance and stuff, so nobody needs them outside, so there’s no other users so I don’t have to worry about except for my husband, so I don’t have to worry about it.
00:15:54:17 – 00:16:17:31
Unknown
But if you have people who are coming on onto your site, maybe they’re writing articles or they’re fixing things, or they’re actually doing a maintenance like what we do, they need to have a strong password to get in there. And you don’t want people being able to just willy nilly get in your site. And you never, ever, ever want to give out your main admin password to anyone.
00:16:17:36 – 00:16:43:51
Unknown
No. Once you have your admin password or being admin, unless you trust them explicitly and you know they’re not going to go in there and do something nefarious with your site, strong passwords keep hackers, spammers, and bad actors at bay and locked out of your website. The best passwords contain a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
00:16:43:56 – 00:17:03:14
Unknown
So however you want to put it together. And most of the time, if you use a program like Dashlane, I know some people use LastPass. I can’t stand them, but that is nothing against, you know, the company is it? You have different preferences. My preference is not to use them, but LastPass. I had a couple plans that use them.
00:17:03:14 – 00:17:24:30
Unknown
They love it. It’s just not my cup of tea. I love Dashlane and do not do not, do not put your passwords into Google because Google can’t be hacked. And there was something my husband told me a couple of weeks ago. He was like, do you have any passwords in Google? And yes, I did. I was letting Google, keep my passwords, even though I do have Dashlane.
00:17:24:35 – 00:17:33:13
Unknown
And guess what? He was like, get those things off of there. Because Google is subject to hack. They are being hacked. Your passwords, you know, being hacked,
00:17:33:13 – 00:17:45:38
Unknown
somebody nefarious, a malware person or but it’s going to go in there, get them. And then when they get your password, guess what? They can access that other thing. Because I had a lot of passwords, I got rid of every one of them there.
00:17:45:38 – 00:17:57:50
Unknown
It’s extreme. Now I’m only use and this is one program. So and don’t write the passwords down and put them on the bottom of your your keyboard or behind your,
00:17:57:50 – 00:18:20:42
Unknown
monitor or under your C, there’s some craziness like that. Because if somebody gets it and wants that it or finds it, or you think you’ve been smart and put it somewhere and I just grabbed because I don’t want to remember just this use a password program like Dashlane, Dashlane, LastPass, or any of the other ones that are really good.
00:18:20:42 – 00:18:38:21
Unknown
Those are those are the two main ones I don’t know of anymore, but use either one of them to keep things locked down. They will create strong passwords for you and it’ll be hard for anyone else to break that encryption because all you want, you know, if somebody really wants to get in your site, they’re going to just get in your site.
00:18:38:26 – 00:19:08:03
Unknown
That’s just the bottom story. But if you make it difficult for them, they look for fast, easy ways, just like robbers and thieves. If they come up on your house and your house says this house is protected by so and so security, they’re going to probably go to next door or someone that doesn’t have the sign. And even the people who put the signs at and don’t have a security system, you know, the robber thief, a would be robber, a thief is not is going to say, well, I don’t know if they really have it or not, but, you know, let me just go to someone else with the door open.
00:19:08:08 – 00:19:12:18
Unknown
So that’s the thing. Don’t keep your door open, keep it shut and locked.
00:19:12:18 – 00:19:34:21
Unknown
All right. Number six is no admins. Yeah. I can’t really talk about I’m an admin. I have other admins. I mean, you do not want a user to use admin as their username. Now. It used to be when you first installed WordPress they would just give everybody that admin name.
00:19:34:21 – 00:19:59:19
Unknown
Talk about a recipe for disaster. It didn’t take long for the hackers, spammers, or malware folks to figure out, hey, you know, most people are going to just install WordPress, leave everything as it is and not change anything. So about I want to say, 6 or 7 years ago, they started saying stop using the admin and WordPress itself change.
00:19:59:19 – 00:20:01:36
Unknown
So now everyone has a different,
00:20:01:36 – 00:20:20:16
Unknown
username when they when they sign up. Don’t trust those things either. Create your own username when you’re installing, it’ll ask you what do you want your admin name to be? You can use your your email if you want. You can use a combination of words and numbers and letters. Just make sure you remember it.
00:20:20:16 – 00:20:25:38
Unknown
And how do you remember it? Yeah, put it in those password keepers right.
00:20:25:38 – 00:20:45:07
Unknown
So if you’re one of those people that log into your website right now and see what you’re in, see that your username is still admin, create and go inside and then create a user. Go inside your dashboard. Create a user with a new username immediately and do not wait.
00:20:45:07 – 00:21:02:29
Unknown
Set up your password and everything and then I want you to log out of your site and log back in with that new username and password and delete the one that said admin, because you can’t do them at the same time. You’ve got to be like, if your old thing was admin and you had password and you log in, you can’t delete yourself.
00:21:02:29 – 00:21:19:12
Unknown
Why you’re logged in, it’s not going to let you do it. Like your body will let you kill yourself if you can help it now. Good. I don’t have no problem with that. But you know, stab. You can’t stab yourself. You can’t. You can’t choke yourself to death. And you really can’t drown unless you’re on some kind of a substance that makes your reactions slow.
00:21:19:21 – 00:21:48:07
Unknown
So that’s what I’m comparing it to. Having an admin username is comparing it to a self-inflicted wound that’s going to kill your site, so get rid of it immediately. Log in to your site right now. If you are using admin to log in, create a new user with a new password and then log out as admin, log in as that other username and password and delete admin as you don’t, you know, mess around with that.
00:21:48:18 – 00:21:52:05

Plus you don’t have time. You got a business to run. Who’s got time for all that stuff right.
00:21:52:05 – 00:22:16:06
Unknown
All right. Number seven is update update update. So I honestly can’t overstate the importance of making sure everything on your website is up to date. Fresh new version, latest version. Why? Because hackers, spammers, malware insertions are on the on the road, on the lookout for people who are not updating their site.
00:22:16:06 – 00:22:33:32
Unknown
And you just said, wait, you know the plugins come in all the time. I don’t have time to update them. We then you need to talk to us because we have a website, a web maintenance and security plan where we update your stuff all the time. You have a level, you have a choice of three programs. How often you want it updated so you don’t even have to worry about it.
00:22:33:42 – 00:22:48:32
Unknown
You can just go to sleep and not worry about your site because we’re going to take care of it. But if you’re the one taking care of your site, those plugins come in at those new versions of the plugins come in every single day, and on a rare occasion, they may come in twice a day and have you updated.
00:22:48:43 – 00:23:06:46
Unknown
Do you look into your the back end of your WordPress site and all you see is this needs an update. This needs an update all the way down. All your are your plugins, the updates. You’ve got to take care of that because you’re just like, come on in hackers. Hey malware, how about an intrusion? I need one today.

Unknown
That’s what you’re doing. You’ve got this blinking light saying I’m vulnerable and vulnerable. So update everything. Are you plug in your WordPress core software? Because what happens is those bad actors are looking for just a little hole that they can just slip in there. And once they slip in there, they have access to your entire site and they’re going to do whatever they want.
00:23:33:23 – 00:23:52:43
Unknown
They’re either going to change it so much that you would not recognize it. They’re going to put new stuff up that you’re like, where did this come from? Or they’re going to do stuff on the back end that you don’t see right away, and they’re just having fun with your site. That’s it. They have fun. It’s it’s a milli a billion multibillion dollar industry, spammers, hackers and all of it.
00:23:52:47 – 00:24:18:23
