Why is the WordPress virus a threat?

WordPress viruses are one of the biggest threats that can affect the operation of your site. Not only can they damage your site's structure, but they can also affect its performance and, in extreme cases, lead to complete data loss. This issue is particularly important for businesses operating in Poznan, where competition in the e-commerce industry is constantly growing and any interruption to your website can mean a loss of customers.

How to identify a WordPress virus?

Here are some symptoms that may indicate the presence of a WordPress virus on your site:

• Sudden drops in page loading speed.
• Unauthorised changes to page content.
• Suspicious redirects to foreign sites.
• Server error messages in daily use of the website.

Effective methods of WordPress virus protection

To minimise the risk of your site being infected by a WordPress virus, it is worth implementing some proven strategies:

• Regular updates: Ensure that all plugins, themes and the WordPress system itself are always up to date.
• Strong passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for the administrator account and other site users.
• Backups: Regular backups will quickly restore the site to its pre-infection state.

Monitoring and rapid response

Regular monitoring of your site activity allows you to detect and react quickly to threats:

• Installation of security monitoring plug-ins such as Wordfence or Sucuri.
• Checking server logs for suspicious activity.
• Regular safety audits carried out by specialists.
