Without a security plugin, threats may go unnoticed or unmitigated.
No Security Plugin Installed
Key Points: You’re flying blind — no firewall, no malware scanner, no login limit. Just vibes and danger.
You wouldn’t run Windows without antivirus — why run WordPress without a security plugin? Core protects a lot, but not everything. Especially when third-party plugins are involved.
🚫 What You’re Missing
- Real-time threat monitoring
- Login protection and brute force defense
- File integrity scans and alerts
🛠️ What to Do
- Install a lightweight, well-reviewed security plugin (Wordfence, iThemes, etc.)
- Configure email alerts for major threats
- Review security logs weekly (or daily!)
✅ Pro Tip
Security is proactive. Waiting until after an attack is like locking the door after a robbery.
