What are the best ways to secure your wordpress website and make it near impossible to hack?
 
WordPress websites are mostly a mess. Most vulnerabilities will come from the plugins you install. So I would suggest updating your plugins regularly and minimizing plugin usage
 
While it is not 100% guaranteed to make any website hack proof, but you can certainly make the hackers job difficult by following few best practices.

Get your site on CDN like cloudflare. This is the first line of defense.

Later have a good security plugin like Sukuri installed and configure it properly. This should ensure the best security for your site.
 
Quick answer:
- scan your website with https://observatory.mozilla.org/ and implement the minimal security standard.
- Update all Plugins and CMS all the time
- use a webhoster like https://stablepoint.com/ with a WAF of Imunify360 and use a DNS WAF like Cloudflare or Sucuri
- scan your website with https://hackertarget.com/ and https://siwecos.de/app#/login to find all vulnerabilities
- implement a backup and restore concept
- 2FA login
- encrypt you database
- use SSL/TLS and test it with https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

...and the best two security plugin (Cleantalk Antispam + Cleantalk SpamFireWall) for small wordpress website is https://cleantalk.org/

Bonus :D with https://canarytokens.org/generate you can generate tokens. If you are hacked, you will recive an alert

Don't install plugins as they suck.

Its really easy. For paid option stay behind sucuri firewall.

Free option, all plugins and themes updated + don't use nulled stuff + cloudflare
 
Backup Daily.
