Small business websites get targeted more often than people realize. Most attacks happen due to simple gaps that are easy to fix.

Here are five quick wins that make a big difference:

1. Use strong, unique passwords
   Reusing the same password across accounts is like giving attackers a master key.
2. Turn on two-factor authentication
   Even if someone gets your password, this extra step keeps them out.
3. Keep your website platform and plugins updated
   Outdated software is the number one way hackers get in.
4. Install a security plugin or firewall
   These tools block suspicious activity before it becomes a problem.
5. Back up your site regularly
   If something goes wrong, you can restore everything quickly.

Your website is often the first impression people get of your business. Keeping it secure protects your reputation, your customers, and your peace of mind.
