What is WordSecured and why is it important?

What is WordSecured?

WordSecured is a WordPress website security specialist service. WordSecured has been in the WordPress business since it’s inception and have been securing customer’s websites since the first security holes were exposed. WordSecured has hundreds of customers who’s websites have been secure for years with the help of our services.

We are 100% confident in our ability to fix your hacked site or secure it to prevent security breaches in the future. We believe in taking preventative measures and for keeping our customer’s WordPress websites secure using a service approach rather than a single one-click plugin install. Constant human monitoring and reporting are what keep a website secure and that’s what we provide as our commitment to you. We look forward to securing your WordPress websites and stopping hackers dead in their tracks.

Why is it important?

A compromised website can be very difficult to clean, especially if you’ve never done it before. It is important to restore and clean a hacked website as quickly as possible to preserve the health of your site and its reputation. The WordSecured team has been preventing and cleaning unprotected websites that have been hacked for over 10 years.
