Our hosting offer is entirely build around security. Your website’s security is foremost on our mind. Here’s what goes into it:
In the realm of Google Optimization, website security is not just a protective measure—it’s a critical factor in your site’s performance and ranking. At OptiCred, we blend top-tier security solutions with our SEO expertise to bolster both your website’s defenses and its standing on Google.
With our partnership, you’ll get access to key Cloudflare Enterprise-level security features. These security features, trusted by major corporations and typically priced from $5,000 per month, are included in all our hosting plans at no extra charge.
Yet security is a multi-layered endeavor. That’s why we also integrate with Patchstack, a leader in application-level vulnerability detection for WordPress. Cloudflare’s Enterprise WAF offers robust perimeter security, Patchstack specializes in internal WordPress vulnerabilities—covering you from all angles. Patchstack identifies new threats to WordPress core, plugins, and themes—often 48 hours before they go public. This adds an extra layer of security, allowing for virtual patches and firewall rules to be implemented before threats have a chance to exploit your site. This dual-layered approach ensures that your website is fortified from both external and internal threats, providing comprehensive protection.
Unlike most other security solutions OptiCred is set and forget, requires no maintenance on your part, and instantly protects your website so you can focus on your core business.

DON'T Do This Common Mistakes:
- Use Outdated Server Technologies: Those may have open backdoors for hackers to exploit.
- Rely on Security Plugins: In 2024, relying on these for defense against modern cyber threats is merely security theater, not genuine protection.
- On-Site Firewalls: If installed directly on the website, these can’t block attacks before they reach your platform.
“Many small and medium-sized business mistakenly believe they are not in danger of being hacked. But automated bots don’t care if the site belongs to a small local business owner or a large enterprise.
Bots are deadly effective in reaching out to every corner of the world. An analysis found that it takes about only 30 – 45 days for a new website, with no content or audience, to be identified and added to a bot crawler.“
