What’s Going on in this Video
The Security Advisor Extension comes pre-installed with your Plesk control panel and is available right from the Home screen. You’ll get 3 tabs to manage: Domains, WordPress and System.
- First, you’ll see how Security Advisor helps you protect all of your website domains with Let’s Encrypt! SSL certificates. All this with a click of a button.
- We’ll show you how to switch your WordPress websites to HTTPS. But note that if WordPress was installed by means of WP Toolkit, they’re already switched to HTTPS.
- The System tab advises you to allow server protections – enable HTTPS/2 and protect Plesk control panel itself with a Let’s Encrypt! certificate. Also, installing third-party security extensions.
In the end, you’ll be protecting Plesk and all your website domain using the same helpful extension – the Security Advisor.
