WP Toolkit checks the installation and rates the risk on a scale. Below that are the measures you can apply one by one or all at once.
For beginners and professionals
Choose a theme, edit content in the block editor via drag and drop, go live: with WordPress you build everything from a simple blog to an online shop without writing a line of code.
You design texts, images and videos without prior knowledge, directly in the browser.
Ready-made templates for every industry, individually adjustable in colors, fonts and layout.
Online shop, newsletter, SEO and much more: you install extensions in minutes.
Performance
The LiteSpeed web server with HTTP/3 delivers your website, and the WordPress cache is integrated directly in the server. You need no cache plugin and no separate configuration.
CPU and RAM are usage limits on shared hosting, not exclusively reserved resources. Choose more capacity for multiple websites or an online shop.
Security
Protected from day one: malware scanner, firewall and backups, without you having to do anything.
Email included
Website and email from one source: your mailboxes run under your own domain, accessible on your computer, on your phone or directly in the browser.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is the most popular shop solution for WordPress, free of charge as an open-source plugin. Your data belongs to you, and the shop grows with your business.
You manage payments, stock and delivery status on one platform.
From the first product to the full range: the shop grows with your business.
You add payment methods, email marketing and more via extensions.
