Is your website secure? Use this tool to find out!

Security is one of the most important aspects when talking about the Internet (and pretty much everything in general). Although most people are aware of how important it is to update your CMS (even though a good portion of people don't do it as we can see in these statistics on Wordpress security), few are aware of the other security aspects that can be implemented on your website.

Other security aspects to consideR

Besides updating your CMS and its plugins, here are a couple of other security aspects you could implement on your website:

  • Security elements in your .htaccess file;

  • Your folders' security;

  • How you structure your folders and files;

  • website security headers;

  • etc.

There are even some tools available that can help you find out how secure your website is (or isn't). For example, you could use the following link (which shows you the results for Numérique.ca's website):  

https://securityheaders.io/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.numerique.ca%2F

All you need to do is enter your website's URL in the top of the page and you'll be able to scan it and get your results in real-time. Do you need some help making your website more secure? If so, don't hesitate to contact us!
