Introduction
Imagine that your website is a house. It has doors (forms), windows (external access) and treasures inside (your users' data). Now imagine that thieves (hackers) are getting better and better equipped and looking for new ways to get in.
In 2025, cyberattacks are not science fiction. They are real and more frequent. From data theft to taking your site down, the damage can be costly.
That's why in this blog we will show you, step by step, how to secure your website. As if you were installing locks, cameras and alarms, but in the digital world. And of course, you'll see how ClickPanda helps you through the whole process.

Best practices to improve your website security
1. Use HTTPS and an SSL certificate.
What is it?
Think of HTTPS as a digital safe. Protect the information your users submit (such as forms or passwords) so that no one can intercept it.
How do I get it?
With ClickPanda, your site receives free SSL certificates. It's like putting a bank level lock on your website.
2. Create strong passwords + enable 2FA
Secure passwords:
Do not use "123456" or "admin123". A good password is long, mixing letters, numbers and symbols:
Example: #P4ndaS3guro2025!
2FA (Two-Factor Authentication):
Like a double lock. Even if they steal your password, they will need an extra code that only you have, activate it on your hosting and email!
3. Update your site and plugins
Why does it matter?
Hackers exploit old bugs. If you use WordPress and don't update, you're leaving a window open.
Make it easy:
Schedule updates or use automatic tools (ClickPanda can help you!).
4. Use a firewall and protect yourself from DDoS attacks.
Firewall (WAF):
Acts as a guard at the door. Blocks suspicious or dangerous visitors.
DDoS protection:
What if someone sends thousands of fake visits to take down your site? With DDoS protection, you filter out that junk traffic before it gets to you.

Common web security mistakes and how to avoid them
-
Use default passwords: Many times, people do not change the default passwords for their management systems. This leaves the site vulnerable to attack.
-
Not having backups: If you do not make regular backups, in case of an attack or technical disaster, you could lose your entire site.
-
Ignoring security patches: Not updating your software, plugins or CMS can leave your site exposed to known vulnerabilities.
