What plugins are you using?
What plugins are you using right now? Especially those free plugins! You know everyone wants free stuff!! That is how the landing page works right:) Here, I am going to list my own using plugins with reason.
How many plugins you have installed in your WordPress? 10? 15 or 20?
More isn’t the best! You have to know which plugins best fit your website!
Therefore, before you are going to install the plugin I suggested, here are a few questions you have to ask yourself!
- What is your purpose of having the plugin? Are you aiming to create your landing page? Or you want more audience and interaction? That is how you reduce your searching scope!
- After you find out the purpose of downloading the plugin, you can start comparing the features! You can ask yourself, what features do you want? For example, if you are a twitter user (most often), then I guess you should pay more attention to twitter right! Better click to tweet will be best fit you!
- After you download the plugin, use it and ask yourself whether the plugin dashboard is the thing you want!
- Are you ready for the plugin? You would like to create a landing page. You download the plugin. You have your email plugin ready. However, you don’t have the free stuff for people to leave their email! That is why we need a plan!
You need to plan how things work step by step! That is how I am improving my website! Here are a few plugins you can consider!

You mentioned jet pack..diid something chanve last i knew it was not allowed with wa hosting?
Yes, It doesn't work in WA platform but works in my other wordpress websites! Thank you for reminding me Cav1966!!
Reminds me to keep on learning:)
You're very right about plugins. If you want your site to run smoothly, don't load it down with too many plugins. I always tend to install Yellow Pencil because it's a front-end, real-time css editor that helps me "swat the flies" so to speak whenever I see a color or font I don't particularly like. And I can make any page element I don't like completely disappear with a few clicks. It might not be the best, but it has worked for me.
Thank you Mbr01! I will try it for sure!! Always have a problem with choosing the best color! It really helps!
