 * Hi,
    So I’m launching an ecommerce shop on Woocommerce, and I was planning to
   buy either Wordfence or Jetpack to make my site more secure, but I’ve read some
   things on internet mainly saying “It’ll just slow down website”, “it’s not really
   worth it”. So I’m wondering is it worth buying security plugin for a website 
   and if not what are your tips to make shop more secure?

 * Hi Gr0m3r,
 * It depends – how security savy are you? What is the risk relative to the initial/
   pproposed income of the site?
 * I would do this:
    1) Daily backups with Updraft to an offsite location like Google
   Drive. 2) Bi-daily backups using Duplicator. 3) Cloudflare (free) + Wordfence(
   free) make a solid solution, provided you adjust things properly, setup 2FA for
   CF & WF (use Wordfence 2FA plugin for this) etc. 4) Connect your site to WordFence
   Central & monitor it.
 * Once you’re satisfied with the general security, look at Cloudflare & Wordfence
   premium.
 * Regarding it slowing down your site, if you make things like logging too aggressive,
   or have a poor site-host, then yes, it can and probably will slow your site down.
 * There are other security area’s aswell EG your mail server & it’s mail records(
   SPF/DKIM etc) to configure. Your email client (Outlook) also plays a role. Security
   is an ongoing, best effort, layered appraoch.
