It is not 'if', but 'when'.

WordPress security and backups you do not have to take on faith. I test them, before you ever need them.

Somewhere this week, a WordPress site gets hacked.

Not by bad luck. Simply a matter of time, with thousands of sites targeted daily by automated attacks.

Most owners believe they have a backup. Most have never checked whether that backup can actually be restored. They find out at exactly the moment it is too late.

I did not assume it either.

A full restore, files and database, carried out on one of my own sites. Not a script from a sales page. Done myself, measured myself.

full restore, files and database

Backups are stored independently of your website, with no credentials living on the site itself. A compromised site cannot reach its own backup.

One site, or an entire portfolio.

One website

You have one WordPress site carrying your business. A single outage costs you more than a year of protection ever would.

A portfolio

You manage WordPress sites for your own clients. The same risk, only multiplied by every site you are responsible for.

The difference is not in the solution. Only in the scale.
