Is known that Wordpress is the #1 platform to create beautiful sites in no time. It’s popularity and great community make it to appear on top of CMS (Content Management System) comparisons.

Not to mention that the easy to use gain the attention of the non tech savvy users. Literally, you can have an entire working site in minutes and…

…Wordpress is Open Source, that means that you never will have to pay a penny for it because is fully supported by the internet community.

However, all this benefits come with a cost. Since Wordpress is the most used CMS around the world, this makes it as the favorite target to hackers.

Why Wordpress is vulnerable to hackers attack?

By default Wordpress doesn’t “hide” some internal details of the platform so any user with the ability to read HTML code can check specific data like platform version, plugins installed, admin area URL’s and more.

Also one of the most useful features of Wordpress play against it when we talk about security: A really big plugins ecosystem.

Not all developers follow best practices in their plugins so there is a chance that you could install a plugin that have several vulnerabilities.

Is recommended that you always update your Wordpress installation, themes and plugins, but before doing this you must create a backup in case a new version of some plugin breaks your site.

Too easy to be true

So everything that sounds good now show some disadvantages if you don’t have a person or team dedicated to maintain your site. Another option is that you keep updated about the tech part of having a website, but who have the time for that?
