An up-to-date Wordpress install shouldn't be getting hacked at all.

Block wp-login.php (only allow access via your IP, stops bruteforce attacks) and block xmlrpc.

Do not use shitty plugins or themes (stick with well reviewed and popular plugins and themes on the main Wordpress theme/plugin database).

Folder permissions should be 755, files should be 644.

I started using Wordfence in recent months on a number of sites i'm managing. Definitely helps keep away most BS that's going on with Wordpress break-ins and attempts. Server started breathing noticeably freely in terms of cpu loads and memory use.

if you run many wp sites that get hacked all the time, this plugin or something like that will save you lots of time.

wordfence is excellent...while keeping up to date and all of that is important it does NOT stop people from trying to break in, and that is where wordfence does a good job....as a preventative measure.
