You will get your WordPress site secured and hardened against hackers

Project details
Waiting until your WordPress site gets hacked is the expensive way to learn about security. Cleanup, lost sales, a Google blacklist warning and a damaged reputation cost far more than hardening it up front.
I secure WordPress and WooCommerce sites end to end: I lock down the login, file permissions and wp-config, add a Web Application Firewall and brute-force protection, disable dangerous features (file editing, XML-RPC where unused), enforce 2FA, keep everything updated, and set up malware scanning with alerts and automated backups. I also check the hosting and server side — most "WordPress" hacks actually get in through a weak server, and that is where my 15 years of Linux experience matters.
Why me: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 1,100+ completed jobs, hundreds of them WordPress security and cleanup work. Cisco CCNA and TryHackMe certified. I work directly on your site, take a backup before any change, and document everything.
What you get: a hardened site, a clear report of what was done and why, and the option of monthly monitoring so it stays protected.
