WordPress security is not a one-time setup—it requires regular checkups to detect vulnerabilities, malware, and suspicious activity before damage occurs. Using the right security tools helps you stay ahead of threats and keep your website safe, stable, and trusted.
At WPDelta, we use a combination of automated tools and manual checks to ensure WordPress websites remain secure and compliant with best practices.
Why Regular Security Checkups Matter
Without routine security checks, websites are vulnerable to:
- Malware infections
- Unauthorized access
- SEO spam and blacklisting
- Data loss and downtime
Security checkup tools help identify issues early and reduce long-term risk.
