When you visit a website, online trackers and the site itself may be able to identify you – even if you’ve installed software to protect yourself. It’s possible to configure your browser to thwart tracking, but many people don’t know how.
Panopticlick will analyze how well your browser and add-ons protect you against online tracking techniques. We’ll also see if your system is uniquely configured—and thus identifiable—even if you are using privacy-protective software. However, we only do so with your explicit consent, through the TEST ME button below.

Essential security measures
There are several essential steps you should take to enhance the security of a WordPress site:
Strong Passwords
Use a strong password for all administrator accounts, and change passwords periodically. Strong passwords are not easily guessed. To break into an account with stong passwords, hackers use a brute force attack. Stopping brute force attacks is covered below.
If your site has been compromised (or you even suspect that it has been compromised), you must also change the security keys in the wp-config.php file that are used to encrypt cookies. Simply changing passwords is not enough, because an attacker may still have a valid cookie and be able to access your site.
For more information about how to configure security keys in the wp-config.php file, please visit http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Security_Keys.

Being able to build a membership site with Divi is an extremely valuable skill set. Combining the power of Divi with the power of an easy-to-use membership plugin is an exciting proposition. But let’s face it. There is a lot of moving parts involved with a membership site, some of which are often ignored in tutorials.
In this tutorial, my goal is to show you how to build a membership site with Divi. And I hope to accomplish two main goals:
I want to give you thorough instructions on how to setup a membership site using MemberPress.
I want to show you how to Design your membership site by minimizing the design limitations often accompanied by the integration of membership plugins with the Divi Builder. In other words, I want to show you how you can use the Divi Builder as much as possible to design your membership site.
