Installing WordPress involves preparing a domain, hosting account, database and clean site configuration before launch.
Key Points
- You can install WordPress through one-click tools or a manual setup depending on your hosting package.
- Before launch, set the site title, secure the admin account and remove unused themes or plugins.
- Use HTTPS from the start so your website builds trust and avoids mixed-content issues later.
- Choose a lightweight theme and only add essential plugins to keep performance healthy.
- Backups and updates should be part of the launch checklist, not something left for later.
