You can also install the “Really Simple SSL” plug in to secure your WordPress website.
2. Privacy Policy & Terms Most of people take overlooked, but it’s the law to have a privacy policy on your site, so don’t take it lightly and never skip over this! Always put the link in the footer of your site. 3. Tracking: Google Analytics and/or the FB Pixel Setup analytics account so that you can track your website traffic. Inside of Google analytics you can also set up & monitor goals, if you have any type of sales funnel in place. If you plan on ever running FB or Instagram ads, then never forget to install the pixel. 4. SEO: Yoast SEO plugin The Yoast SEO plugin is really essential for your Wordpress website SEO. It makes really easy to add meta data to your pages and blog posts making it super easy for Google to index your site (so you can show up in search more!) 5.

I suggest you the plugin Updraft plus. 6. Security: Wordfence plugin Keep those pesky spam bots and hackers away from your Wordpress website with a really strong firewall. Here I suggest you the Wordfence plugin, and it sends me weekly reports of all activity on my website. 7.
