WordPress Security Questioned
Atom Agency has been working with WordPress for over ten years. We really like the open source code, the choices and the breadth that the platform offers. We are not alone in that. WordPress is today by far the most popular publishing platform in the world. 43.2 percent of all websites are built with WordPress, according to Bleeping Computer.
But the popularity of WordPress has a flip side, if one does not have knowledge of the platform and its risks. Worrying figures provided by the cybersecurity company Patchstack The results show that 29 percent of all WordPress plugins may contain vulnerability to malware intrusion, but it is almost exclusively free plugins that are at risk. 91.38 percent of all flaws can be found in free plugins, but only 0.58 percent in the WordPress system itself.
What is the solution?
Of all the flaws and vulnerabilities stand paid, premium add-ons no more are for 8.62 of the total. The difference from free add-ons is due to better code checking, more frequent updates and testing procedures. It is logical, of course, that premium extensions are significantly safer, but it is not as obvious that web developers use these exclusively.
We at Atom Agency use only WordPress premium extensions to ensure maximum security and performance. We have about a dozen extensions that we use on several websites. This means that we have good knowledge of its developers, security procedures and updates.
