Minimalism, tiny houses and only having what you need is very popular in some parts of the world. Security is and has always been the same as the minimalist culture, where you don’t keep anything you don’t need on your application or in this case your website. The more you have, the more chances of a high risk vulnerability that can be used to destroy your business.

What is minimalism security?

Did you like that theme, but you’re not using it? Throw it away, don’t keep it on your site. Why should you get rid of a disabled wordpress theme? That is the easiest point of entry since, people don’t realize the code is still accessible, you just need to know what your doing. The word disabled or deactivated is misleading, when that code is still reachable and still hackable. What disabled or deactivated code means is simply that you won’t see it on your site doing anything, but it doesn’t address the inherent risk to your website security, that vulnerabilities in that software that can be accessed even when in deactivated mode still pose a significant threat to your business.

The goal is to have as few plugins as possible on WordPress as possible, yet still do everything you need. It almost sounds impossible, but it isn’t. This one step can lower the amount of entry points in to your site for a criminal hacker.

We will be publishing more ways to keep your site more secure, but if you want a quicky review, we offer that for 9.99 and scale upwards.

While there are ways to optimize a wix site, it is unlikely for a wix site to come up on the first page of Google and here is why. Many of our former customers erase our hard work on a WordPress site and go to wix, because it is easier to use. They aren’t wrong that it has a cleaner user interface, but what most don’t know is some wix sites don’t rank well.

Why do some wix sites not rank well?

Wix is a site where the information is what we call static, meaning it doesn’t change unless you go in and manually change it. With other software like WordPress you can schedule updates, have the site change whenever you want, and customize it to your hearts desire. Per our knowledge Wix does not offer the level of flexibility WordPress does, which is fine for so,e sites. We’ would use wix and other services for sites that will be heavily linken to by the press or will have ,Illinois or even a hundred thousand followers see the link. When you are using it to try and get a brand that is t heard of much you have a higher likelihood to fail. This isn’t because of wix persay, it is because these sites aren’t going to go in and update wix evertyday, which is needed to really get a new site seen. New, fresh content is extremely important online. While Wix certainly has its place, it isn’t a replacement, for WordPress.
