How to prevent your website from being hacked

Basic measures that greatly reduce the risk of a compromised website without forcing you into unnecessarily complex configurations.

There is no such thing as zero risk, but there are measures that greatly reduce the chances of a website being compromised.

Short answer

There is no such thing as zero risk, but there are measures that greatly reduce the chances of a website being compromised. When a problem enters security territory, the order of action matters just as much as the technical fix.

Why it matters

Preventing a hacked website can affect access, your site's reputation, and overall service stability. The sooner you identify the scope of the issue, the sooner you can protect the account correctly.

What to check first

Confirm whether the problem affects a single website, a specific account, or the whole service. If there is any sign of unauthorized access, change your credentials immediately.

Practical recommendation

Avoid deleting files or disabling components before making a copy first. A rushed action can make recovery more difficult.

Also review

- Change credentials if you suspect unauthorized access.
- Do not delete files without keeping a copy first.
- Check whether the problem affects only one account or the entire service.
