Starter checklist
Verify WordPress Core is updated automatically and plugins/themes are under scheduled security audits. Audit active plugins regularly and completely delete all inactive, outdated, or deprecated components. Restrict admin logins, enforce strong password policies, and actively block default username enumeration paths. Deactivate public directory listings and disable XML-RPC to defend against automated brute-force attacks. Review file permission structures, ensuring wp-config.php and critical assets are set to strict read-only states. Review WooCommerce checkout pipelines and customer profiles for secure payment handling and session boundaries.Secure before they strike
