1.Running An Old Version of WooCommerce

Running an old version of WordPress WooCommerce can cause some consequences for your site, such as security, database:

  • The longer you wait to update, the harder it will be. Changes might be made to templates and how data is stored in the database that is more easily managed in increments.
  • Also, more importantly, updates can be critical for security. It will put your site at risk if you prolong the implementation of an important security update in a few days. When a security vulnerability is discovered, the details of the exploitable code are published on the Internet. Hackers can immediately write bots to automatically crawl the web and exploit these vulnerabilities.
  • By keeping your WooCommerce up to date, not only does that keep your site more protected against hacking, but also ensure that the process runs smoothly and the user can access easier. It’s so important to build a friendly site for your customers.

You should install the newest version of WooCommerce when it is released. It’s not hard for you to update new version of WooCommerce, just a few clicks and you’ve got the latest and greatest versions installed.

2. Using Free Plugins And Themes Nulled

Some Premium Themes and Plugins are paid but shared free rampant online. Sometimes it is very difficult to overcome the temptation to see Premium Themes and Plugins are paid but shared free rampant online. You do not know that these Nulled Themes and Plugins often contain malicious code (malware) such as backdooring, spamming other users, transferring users to another website, pumping links, etc. The malicious code in Plugins or Themes Nulled may reduce your blog/website rankings on Google search engines, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu… And even allegedly a sandbox.

Solution: It’s a good idea to never use plugins or nulled themes. If you want to install a plugin or theme, use the free version of WordPress, the paid version, or you can consider downloading the authoritative sources of the publisher. I suggest you use the Theme Authenticity Checker plugin when you install some plugins or themes and want to check if they contain malicious code.

3. Not Backing Up Your Site

Not backing up your site in your site means all of the dangerous security are treating on your net. It’s just like driving a car without the insurance, though in reality, you never use it, it’s helpful when you are required by the traffic police or even in any crash or accident.

But there are five reasons why you should back up your website:

  • It’s not your web host’s responsibility to make backups available to you. If you don’t do that, most of them simply do so for their own protection and don’t make the files available to their customers.
  • It’s not enough to store everything from the original development site

You may think your site will be protected when you developed your site. However, over time, websites are tweaked and changed and of course, those changes often won’t be reflected in the original version. And finally, every content, information from the forum, blog or CRM won’t exist in any other place than on your website.

  • Not backing up your site will be hard for you to get back online quickly after a mishap like losing income or penalty from Seo Google.
  • It’s your protection against viruses.

Web hosts don’t tend to kill viruses and malware against your website automatically. Therefore, keeping a backup for your site is the easiest and best way to protect your site from virus or malware. Even, it allows you to turn back the clock after an attack and cure them when needed.

But make sure when you backup your woocomemerce database and there’s a new order came and you suddenly restore your outdated backup version you may lost that latest order make in mind watch your order.

Solution:

  • You can use some free plugins like BackUpWordPress, BackWPUp…
  • If you have money, you should use some high-quality plugins like BackUpBuddy, VaultPress – These plugins will automate the process of backing up and restoring your website as needed.
