After updating the website in December 2021 month-end to use WordPress, several internal updates and plugins were done for securing the website, improving the performance of the website. Over the past 30 days over 2,605 malicious requests were blocked using some security plugins. MFA was activated tying into Google Single-SignOn and Duo MFA. In other words logging into WordPress as admin requires Biometric authentication – YubiKey Bio. The useful plugins were Duo Two-Factor Authentication, Social Login, Social Sharing by miniOrange, Shield Security. Currently, the free versions of these plugins have enough functionality. The pro versions have many more excellent features. Sometime in the future, I might consider the pro versions. But I would highly recommend anyone using WordPress to secure your WordPress websites using these plugins. Even if you don’t have a YubiKey Bio, I would still suggest securing your installations using Duo push notifications. The installation of the plugins and configuring are very easy and stright-forward.
