I'm sorry but if it took you 7 years to figure out things like caching your site, updating it to avoid exploits, having a good theme, backing-up your files, etc. then you are doing it wrong. These are all very basic principles that WordPress has recommended for as far back as I can remember. Especially backing up WordPress regularly.
I don't see why a post like this provokes criticism. I think it was more "I've used WP for 7 years, here are some potentially helpful tips that I learned within that time span at some point." Not "I've toiled with WP for 7 years and it's taken me exactly that long to learn to cache/backup/etc my site."
Anyway, thanks for the post. It was full of helpful reminders.
