First i wanna Quote from my WordPress 101 "Stay secure, never ever use plugins!" :-)
The critical component of Wordpress, especially when it comes to security, are plugins from external developers. Keep that in mind, so less is more - also from a security point of view.
As a web.dev enthusiast, I would like to advise you to test your site with Google Insights. Wordpress themes in particular do not do so well without optimization. web.dev/measure/ Read up on the topic.
There are really many topics to consider:
web.dev is a great place to go, read up on the optimization of your site.
DNS prefetch for external sites
Browser cache / server cache
Minify the JS / CSS
Lazy Load Images
gzip / brotli compression
Minimize the database queries => through a cache.
Since external plugins are essential, and must be used, I can recommend the following to you.
Developer / DevOps workflow
Performance is also a big issue. Use one of the cache plugins to generate static pages from your WordPress theme. I have used WP Super Cache successfully in several projects. wordpress.org/support/article/opti...
Optimize the Web Vitals, as they are also elemental for your Ranking in Search Engines. web.dev/learn-web-vitals/
Secure your wp-admin so that only you can see the backend. During my installations only my IP address was on / wp-admin /wp-login.php. This is how you avoid brute force attacks on your backend.
Test your Server! There are many tools e.g. wp-scan, nmap and so on. If you have ssh open, do not use a password Authentication. Use ssh keys instead.
To your question:
I have not tested the last versions of WordPress anymore, in the past there was the possibility that you could also write a post by email.
If you have further Questions.. Ask ;-)

P.S. Go with a JAMStack! It is way faster, way securer and you dont need weeks to figure out all the topics in cleaning up your WordPress Installation.

You should install a plugin that will automatically compress your images.

You should also use 2FA.

If that is possible for your side, then I would block entire countries.
