Add to Your Functionality in WordPress

Plugins allow you to add more functionality and appeal to your WordPress site and can help you scale. New Bloggers can find it difficult to choose the right WordPress plugins. There are over 55k+ premium and free plugins available in the WordPress Store.

This piece highlights the 13 best plugins that you should consider after creating a blog. Just make sure that you are adding quality content 2 – 3 times a week and don’t be distracted by these plugins. Only add what you absolutely have to at the beginning of your journey and always check your site speed before and after adding a plugin.

If it all goes wrong you can yell for the technical cavalry to get your website going again. So relax and only add what will help you grow.

Let's get started!

1. WP Rocket

This plugin is a must-have. The base plan costs $49 and includes a single 12-month license. This is one of the best blogging investments you can make.

It manages your database, which can be quite tedious for bloggers. Automating many energy-consuming tasks will save you time and help you save money.

WP Rocket has been ranked as the fastest and most efficient cache plugin for optimizing the speed of your blog. It makes it easy to perform cache-related tasks, such as browser caching, Cloudflare, and OP caches.

If you don't have the funds, you can just skip the Imagify plugin. Instead, assign the task to WP Rocket. This speed allows busy visitors to easily read your content without any hassle.

Thanks for this training. Now, I have the following plugins: 1) Be Theme Header Builder (2) Calculated fields form (3) Classic Editor
(4) Contact form 7 (5) Elementor (6) Essential Grid (7)WP Reset
(8) WP Bakery page Builder (9) Yoast Duplicate Post (10) Theme Rex Utilities (11) Visual Composers (12)GDPR Frame work and
(13) Slider Revolution.
My challenge now is how many of these plugins should I activate in my website?

why do you have elementor and wp bakery ...they do the same thing...
same with the header buildre...
only activate the ones you really need and want to use ....
if not sure then don't activate until needed...
good luck
phil
make sure you keep an eye on the pagespeed or your ranking will suffer...
goto websites>>sitemanager>>details on the site and scroll down to check the pagespeed...

I am using 3 of these plugins already. 1, 2 and 12. I have stopped using the free version of Elemontor. It came with the theme set from Generate Press. The problem was I was unable to edit my woocommerce shop page and I had to rebuild it, without going for a subscription.

It would give an error when I tried to edit the page. I believe the free version is ok as long as you are not using it with woocommerce. I do know that the paid version is good and many people like it.

Thank you for the list.

Are you sure about WP Rocket? I thought WA have built up the technical part that we don´t need it.
But maybe I am absolutely wrong!

WA does give us a lot of help with AIOSEO and for most people that don't need to look further. But I needed WPRocket when I noticed very slow loading speeds for my posts.

This was partially due to a complex Theme that I changed later but WPRocket sorted other issues that I had.

Ok, thanks. Seems that I remember it incorrectly.
I have to heavy theme so I had used a lot of things as it is too expensive to change it.

Saw it now that I took a fail of WP Super Cache! So I use the Rocket too :) Sorry!
