May use a combination of .htaccess and robots.txt. Read for more examples here. For a first line of defense would go with CloudFlare, too. Also for bots that scan for vulnerabilities, etc., consider this. Source: almost 3 years ago

Consider CloudFlare WAF (Pro subscription), and/or hardening your security with an established sec plugin like WordFence, Sucuri. (I personally prefer a lighter plugin.). Source: almost 3 years ago

Against hackers, I fancied this plugin instead of Wordfence. Source: almost 3 years ago

This is a free plugin that takes a different approach to security. Source: almost 3 years ago

After a successful clean up, install a security plugin to shield from future attacks. I personally prefer a more lightweight one like this. Source: almost 3 years ago

If you use a solid host like WPengine and a security app like wordfence.com it would be a very rare day indeed to get hacked. Source: 12 months ago

If on wordpress, use the free version of wordfence.com to scan your site and identify possible viruses. Continue to use wordfence to protect the site, and if a successful business blossoms, consider the premium paid version. I'm not affiliated in any way, I've simply used the product with success for a number of years. Source: about 2 years ago
