1/ 🚨 Using Default Admin Username
If you're still using "admin" as your username, you're making it easier for hackers. Always create a unique username to enhance security. 🛡️

2/ 🛠️ Not Backing Up Your Website
Imagine losing all your hard work overnight. Backups are your safety net! Use plugins like UpdraftPlus or BackupBuddy to automate backups regularly.

3/ ⏳ Ignoring Updates
Outdated themes, plugins, or WordPress versions are a recipe for disaster. They’re vulnerable to attacks. Keep everything updated to the latest version! 🔄

4/ 🔐 Weak Passwords
Your password is your first line of defense. Avoid using “password123” or similar. Use strong, complex passwords or a password manager.

5/ 🌐 Choosing Poor Hosting
Your hosting provider affects your site’s speed, security, and uptime. Cheap hosting might save money upfront but can cost you in performance and reliability.

6/ ⚙️ Installing Too Many Plugins
More plugins = more chances for conflicts and slow loading times. Only install the plugins you truly need, and delete unused ones to keep your site lean.

7/ 📉 Ignoring Mobile Optimization
Over 50% of web traffic is mobile. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re losing visitors. Use responsive themes and test your site on different devices.

8/ ❌ Not Using an SEO Plugin
An SEO plugin like Yoast or Rank Math can help optimize your site for search engines. Don’t leave your rankings to chance!

9/ 📊 Not Tracking Site Analytics
If you’re not tracking site data, how do you know what’s working? Integrate Google Analytics or tools like MonsterInsights to monitor traffic and user behavior.

10/ 🛡️ No Security Measures
A hacked site is a nightmare. Install a security plugin like Wordfence or Sucuri, use SSL, and enable two-factor authentication for better protection.
