WordPress Security & Scaling

In Episode 18 of WPLegends, we feature Blake Whittle, WordPress entrepreneur and founder of ClikIT, and WordPress plugins like: Secure Forms Plugin, Infinite Uploads, and Big File Uploads.

Secure Forms Plugin: A privacy-first form builder that puts data protection front and center. Secure Forms helps WordPress users collect submissions without cookies, trackers, or third-party dependencies, making it a perfect solution for GDPR and CCPA compliance.

Infinite Uploads: A seamless cloud storage solution for WordPress media libraries. Infinite Uploads allows you to offload all your media to a secure cloud, freeing up hosting space and improving site speed without changing your workflow.

Big File Uploads: Break free from WordPress’s default file size limitations. Big File Uploads allows you to easily upload large media files (videos, PDFs, audio) directly through the WP dashboard, no FTP or server tweaks required.

Blake shares his entrepreneurial journey in the WP ecosystem, his passion for privacy-focused tools, and how he's solving complex challenges around form security and file uploading at scale.

Whether you're a WordPress agency, plugin developer, or scaling a WP product, this episode is packed with raw insights, technical strategies, and real-world lessons on building sustainable tools in the open-source space.
