Security & Maintenance

A safe site is a successful site

Core habits

• Update WordPress, the theme and all plugins regularly
• Use strong, unique admin passwords and two-factor auth
• Limit login attempts
• Keep tested backups

Elementor specifics

Elementor's Custom CSS and code snippets are stored in the database — keep those backups safe. Revoke access for anyone who should no longer edit.

What to watch

• Unexpected admin accounts
• Unknown plugins appearing
• Pages changing on their own
• A slow or redirecting site

Tip: Many hosts include security tools — activate them and enable automatic backups.
