WordPress Migration & Hardening — Local Business

Migrated an outdated WordPress site to a modern, hardened stack with a security-first plugin and theme audit.

WordPress PHP Security Hardening

01 The Problem

A local business's WordPress site was running years-outdated plugins, had been flagged by their host for suspicious activity, and needed a fresh, secure foundation without losing their existing content.

02 The Solution

Audited every plugin and theme for known vulnerabilities, rebuilt the site on a minimal, actively-maintained stack, and implemented hardening measures including login rate limiting, file-permission fixes, and a Web Application Firewall rule set.

03 The Results

No further security flags from the host since relaunch, along with meaningfully faster page loads from removing bloated legacy plugins.
