05
Accessibility Matters
-
Accessibility isn't just about compliance - it's about creating a better experience for every visitor.

Tip: Add descriptive alt text to images, use clear heading structures, and ensure sufficient color contrast so your content is easier for everyone to access.
06
Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA adds an extra layer of security that can stop unauthorized access.

- Tip: Use a password manager to generate and securely store unique passwords for every account.
09
Keep Your Software Updated
