Delete the WordPress plugins you don't use

Deactivating a plugin isn't enough. Its files stay on your server, and if it stops getting updates, hackers can use its old code to get in.

1. Open Plugins in your WordPress dashboard and click Inactive.
2. Delete anything you're not planning to use again.
3. Update the plugins you keep, or switch on automatic updates for trusted ones.

Fewer plugins also means a faster website.
