WooCommerce Security Plugins You Can’t Do Without

By Mitali Purkait Ghosh on September 12, 2023

WordPress has a few basic security features. If you are an amateur blogger, that should get the job done. However, if you are a business that uses WooCommerce for your online store, you must enhance the security of your e-commerce site. A WooCommerce website needs better malware protection, monitoring, scheduled backups, and more to maintain its safety. Things can get complicated very quickly. That’s why store owners hire dedicated WooCommerce developers to secure their websites. Here are a few WooCommerce security plugins you must add to your online shop.

1. Two Factor Authentication

Security is essential for your online store and your customers. You don’t want anyone accessing the admin page of your website and taking the store down. Your valuable customers should not have their accounts breached just for using a weak password either. That’s why Two Factor Authentication is essential for your WooCommerce site. As the name suggests, this plugin adds 2FA to your store. With that, you and your customers would need to enter additional keys or a one-time pin along with the password to log in. It supports 2FA apps like Authy and Google Authenticator and generates secure graphical QR codes that can be scanned by your phone’s authenticator app for easy login. Moreover, this plugin is free and highly configurable. You can cut down on costs even more by hiring an affordable WooCommerce developer. Trust us as one of the best offshore web development companies in India for solutions that don’t eat away at your budget.

2. WP Activity Log

Whenever you sign in to your Google or any social media account, you get a notification on your phone from the same app. That’s a slightly annoying but very helpful feature that has the potential to alert you about unauthorized access. You can add that feature to your WooCommerce website with WP Activity Log. It helps you track all the activity and the tiniest changes on your website. As a WooCommerce development company, we always recommend this plugin to our clients. The plugin works on a freemium model. You can access all the activity log on your website and track malicious activities. However, upgrading to a premium plan adds SMS alerts, email notifications, and more features. We can help you integrate this plugin into your shop and make all the necessary changes to keep your website secure.

3. Astra Security Suite

Astra Security Suite is a premium security plugin that protects your store from malware, spam, brute force attacks, and several other types of threats. You can use this plugin for a security audit of your shop and its firewall even enables you to block URLs along with IPs from certain countries. At the end of the day, you’ll also get a comprehensive security report via e-mail. Your WooCommerce site is one of your primary sources of income and deserves the best in class protection. These plugins will help eliminate security vulnerabilities and keep hackers at bay.
