When choosing a design template for a WordPress site, there are criteria to consider in order to upgrade and enhance the site’s security. Here are some criteria that will help you choose a design template that will be a front-runner against breaches and improve the security of your site:

  1. Regular Support and Updates: Ensure that the design template is supported and updated regularly. Templates receiving regular updates provide bug fixes and security upgrades.

  2. Clean and Secure Code: Verify that the design template uses clean code with a high level of security. Templates with well-maintained code can prevent attacks and enhance site security.

  3. SSL Support: Choose a template that has the capability to support a secure connection via SSL. This will secure communication between the server and visitors and enhance security.

  4. Mobile Adaptation: Ensure that the design template functions correctly on mobile devices. Mobile-friendly design is essential for security.

  5. Built-in Security Features: Choose a template that includes built-in security features such as strong management access, secure door closures, etc.

  6. Internal Security Audits: Read reviews and recommendations about the template and make sure it undergoes internal security audits.

  7. Emergency Support: Ensure there are ways to contact support or a community forum when assistance is needed on security matters.

  8. GDPR Compliance: If the site targets users in Europe, make sure the template complies with GDPR privacy standards.

Choosing a design template carefully will help you upgrade your site’s security and facilitate content and interface management.

  3. Information Security Standards: Make sure the template adheres to leading information security standards, such as user identification and protection of user privacy.

  4. Clear and User-Friendly: Ensure that the template is built in a clear and user-friendly manner, without complicating daily security processes.

  5. Mobile Device Support: Ensure that the template is designed to be flexible and suitable for viewing on mobile devices, improving user experience and security on mobile devices.

  6. Control Over Content and Functions: Ensure precise control over access to content and functions of the template, with each action through the interface aligned with security criteria.

  7. SSL Support: The template should support a secure connection via SSL to protect communication between the server and visitors.

  8. W3C Validity Check: Ensure that the template is valid according to W3C standards, ensuring its safety and stability.
