Plugins and integrations

Recommended WordPress Plugins

Updated 3 weeks ago

Below, we detail the recommended free plugins according to different needs, prioritizing lightweight plugins that do not affect our site's performance.

WordPress performance depends both on the quality of plugin and theme code and on the environment where it is hosted. That's why it's best to combine a careful selection of plugins with hosting optimized for WordPress.

Some offer paid licenses with more options, while those marked with an asterisk are included in our WordPress maintenance plans:
