Initial setup tips for WP deployed on VPS?

[ad_1]

Hi All,

It’s been a long time since I set up a WordPress eCommerce site and I need some pointers.

I use Vultr as my VPS provider and I installed from a Vultr image of Litespeed WordPress (a one click setup type of thing with Let’s Encrypt included). Now, the LE certificate looks to be installed correctly (at least on the main page), the domain is connected to the VPS and my theme is up and running and ready for editing. I recall there being more steps after this..

* HSTS / Force HTTPS on every page – I seem to remember having trouble with this last time, are there any extra steps I need to do?
* Is cloudflare something that I should get, and why?
* Any other basic security hardening or guide?

Thanks
