To keep your website from being compromised, here are five tips to combat the most common WordPress security issues, as well as the best WordPress security plugins to keep your site safe.

If you have forms on public web pages, you’re bound to get some spam. Spam form entries are a frustrating part of collecting leads, growing an email list, and giving people opportunities to contact you.
Why is spam so common? Because spammers set up spam bots. These are automated scripts that troll the web for forms and submit some content.
Why do people spam forms? For backlinks, mostly. Google will boost a website’s rankings if it has a lot of links, so less-than-honest marketers create bots that spam forms with links. If any of those links show up on a website, their site’s ranking improves. This method of “marketing” isn’t as effective as it used to be, but it doesn’t require the “marketer” to do anything but let a script run.

The confirmation email is an important part of a form, but a lot of marketers overlook it. Many use a bland, generic message, and others don’t send a confirmation at all.
The purpose of a confirmation email is to verify a customer or subscriber’s form submission. This creates a record of the submission for them and begins an email-based relationship. Every form you create should automatically generate a confirmation email any time a user hits the submit button.

In order to compel people complete your forms, therefore, it's your job to raise the value of whatever you're offering as much as possible. If users believe your offer is undeniably valuable, they’ll rush to submit your forms.
