Make regular backups of your website

First of all, it should be noted that a website backup is a backup copy of the website itself and its database. One thing without the other is not going to get you out of a tight spot. There are several options when it comes to making backups:
Backups from the hosting : Generally, the hosting providers themselves have a backup system that is interesting to program to make periodic backups that help us restore our website in case of failures or attacks.
Backups from plugins : There are various plugins that allow us to ceo email list make backups of our website. We simply recommend that you inform yourself well before placing your trust in them, since many times they allow you to make the backup but charge for restoring it or do not allow you to make backups of more than a certain size. To avoid surprises, it is best to inform yourself as much as possible and to do some restoration tests before trusting your website to these plugins.
Backups via FTP : One of the most recommended options is to create an FTP user with which we can connect to the server where our website is hosted (essential for performing maintenance tasks on a WordPress website at a professional level). This access, among many other things, allows us to make backup copies of our website and possible restorations.
Tip : Regardless of whether you have scheduled backups, if you feel that you have worked on very crucial or vital changes for your website, it never hurts to perform a new backup after finishing that big job. Also, I highly recommend making a general backup of the website before updating the WordPress version, PHP version, theme or plugins.

I will never tire of saying that a website is a living entity that requires frequent care and attention. Although, unfortunately, any website is susceptible to attacks, it is in our hands to minimize the risk with certain measures that allow us to improve WordPress security, avoid scares and enjoy a functional and secure website. Let's take care of our pages as they deserve.
