Security
- Do not add more plugins than absolutely necessary. Plugins create openings for hackers to enter your website and cause problems.
- Always run an active SSL certificate.
- Ask Torque Media to add Daily Website Scans to your package if you are concerned about hackers. These scans will notify us should an issue arise.
Manage Your Updates
- It’s not important to update plugins and themes every time an update is available but, you do want to do it monthly at the least.
- Keep themes up to date – this is for security and enhancement purposes.
- Keep your plugins up to date – Before accepting an update, ensure that the update has been tested to work with your theme first, then perform the update.
