A few of these issues could be completely avoided by using a hosted Wordpress service like Pressable or WPEngine. Both of these services offer hosting cheap enough where I don't even think about launching a Wordpress site anywhere else and it will probably be a long time, if ever, I worry about how my site is running.

My experience is with Pressable, so sorry if I'm assuming WPEngine is the same, but I can knock these off easily by using Pressable:

#2 - Default admin. I was given a secure admin password

#4 - Backups

#9 - Caching, and really that's an understatement.

#11 - Ignoring updates

#16 - Not using CDN

That's awesome I will have to start recommending that.

Thanks for the tip.
