La seguridad en WordPress puede parecer una lista larga de términos que dan miedo. No hace falta aprenderlo todo de golpe. Empieza por actualizaciones, contraseñas de admin fuertes, menos plugins, HTTPS y una copia de tu hosting o plugin de backup que puedas restaurar. Esas bases evitan una gran parte de los problemas cotidianos.
Estas guías para principiantes (en inglés) explican amenazas y hábitos en lenguaje claro: por qué se atacan los sitios, qué hace y no hace SSL, y qué pasos merecen hacerse primero en un sitio de pequeño negocio. Salta lo que suene a marketing del miedo. Concéntrate en cambios que puedas terminar esta semana.
Si quieres un punto de partida de producto, instala el plugin gratuito WP Security Ninja y ejecuta las pruebas de seguridad. El asistente de instalación recorre las opciones importantes sin asumir que ya conoces el ecosistema.
