Ask HN: What's the minimal WordPress security hardening you'd trust?

1•mirza_rizvi•1h ago
I’m trying to understand what actually matters in WordPress security beyond checkbox features.

Constraints: shared hosting, non-technical site owners, must not break plugins/themes, low overhead.

If you had to pick the top 5 controls in a WP security plugin (or server-side), what would you choose and why?

Bonus: what features are mostly noise (false positives, bloat, fear-UX), and what’s surprisingly effective?

I do not doubt there will be help here, but I would suggest posting this to the WP subreddit at https://old.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/

A ton of experience and knowledge is there.
