As always, great useful content. What's your recommended security plugin?

sir, please tell me if you have an article or video on how you can check contact information, the correctness of the data entered (validation, regular expression) by customers when placing an order and during registration. Name, mail, phone number, zip code and so on?

Thanks for the great video. This is a very good list of common mistakes and I see the same on many sites that I work on with clients. Not updating plug-ins is the number one issue I always see. The more recent versions of Wordpress now have an auto update feature for plugins. I always enable this for important plugins that are regularly updated such as UpdraftPlus and Wordfence. Wordfence will also let you know if plugins are out of date if you configure it to email you.

Is there a way to link WordPress with Google Sheets, so that the control is completely through Google Sheets, I want to add products, images, coupons, discounts and prices through Google Sheets only. And if I delete or add anything on Google Sheets, I want it to appear directly on WordPress. Is this possible?

I love RankMath. Another mistake I see is no SSL or not enforcing SSL.

Another, not naming images for SEO and not using Alt tags.

Slow page speed.

No favicon bugs me.

You forgot the most important one in mine opinion, never use the wp-admin to login, hide it to the outside with the hide login plug-in, it will make it much more difficult to hack, you don't know how many sites still use it, do the test an put it after the URL and you will be surprised how many sites you can access on the backend
