WordPress Plugins for Security and Performance .

Wordfence – This plugin does the job of a handful of plugins, all at once. It blocks brute force attacks (when unknown users try to guess your login credentials), identifies malicious traffic and blocks them from entering your site, blocks visitors from stealing your content, allows you to throttle or block excessive pageview activity from visitors, allows you to block fake search engine bots disguising themselves as Google, and so much more.

Heartbeat Control – If you leave your WordPress admin active for long periods of time (while writing or editing a post) repeated POST requests can cause high resource usage. To avoid this, the WordPress “heartbeat” can be modified or even disabled to lower your server resource usage.

W3 Total Cache – Caching is a great way to limit your resource usage and pretty much every web host will recommend you install a caching plugin if you’re running a WordPress site. This plugin can greatly improve your website performance and speed up load times, which is something that Google looks for when crawling sites!

Loginizer – If you’re not going to use something like Wordfence, you’ll need a security plugin for your login form. Loginizer allows you to set rules for your login page and blocks any malicious login attempts according to the rules you set. You can blacklist or whitelist IP addresses, add ReCAPTCHA and more to improve security.

Blackhole For Bad Bots – If you’ve been having issues with high resource usage and server overloads, bad bots may be to blame. These bots act as search engine bots to scrape your content, and can cause spikes in your usage that can halt your site. This plugin requires editing of your robots.txt file, so some knowledge is needed in that area.

Cloudflare – While not a plugin, Cloudflare is a service that can greatly improve security and performance of your site. With your site on their network, you can control caching and other options through your admin panel. They are able to block malicious attacks as they happen and even load cached files of your blog should your site happen to go down. It’s free for the basic features, which are more than enough for the average user.

When installing any of these plugins, be sure to read the installation instructions and Read Me files that may come with them to ensure proper setup. There are options that will need to be considered by you to get the most reliable performance for your blog.

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood. A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...
