Use a Free account on Cloudflare and update plugins regularly
Protecting WordPress really requires more than just a plugin. Using a DB optimizer won’t do much to help an already compromised database. It’s will just make it more efficient. What you need is to make sure you have a backup of a known clean database.
Start with a good host. It’ doesn’t have to be a managed WordPress host but You’re looking for one that uses layers and layers of security including DDoS and Brute Force protection and Web Application Firewalls (WAF). Look for names like Immunify360, cPGuard, or BitJinja. They also need to be taking daily backups and ideally time-machine like restores.
Next practice good WP Admin hygiene, keep the core files and plugins updated, disabled/delete unneeded plugins, use strong passwords, etc.
Lastly plugins like WordFence may help but it’s no silver bullet.
Wordfence free + Wordfence 2FA plugins then put Cloudflare infront.
Database cleaners do nothing useful in most cases, if anything create more problems then they solve and certainly not increase security.
Equally as important is a good backup plugin like backupbuddy
wordfence and cloudflare. that’s all you need
