Wordpress is the most popular blogging platform in the world, yay! But what they don't tell you is that when you stand up a Wordpress site on today's web, you will immediately be pummeled by hackers from all over the planet trying every known exploit to own you. The hackers may not make visible changes to your site. Instead they often inject malware into your templates so that anyone who visits your site gets attacked, also usually in some non-obvious way, so that no one knows how or when it happened.The only hope you have is to install Wordfence and protect your site. I've run it for years on my business and personal blogs and have been 100% satisfied with their service. And a final note, their customer service is the best I've encountered in ANY industry. Several months ago I made the decision to migrate my sites away from Wordpress and build my own static site to show off my development skills. I turned off my Wordfence renewals in advance, but one renewal went through today. I responded saying I'd turned it off and could they please refund. It was literally 3 minutes (not even kidding) before I got a response from Tiffany, saying she'd processed the refund. 3 minutes. Have you ever gotten satisfaction from a customer support interaction that fast? I know I haven't.
