Plugins and integrations

Recommended WordPress Plugins

Updated 2 months ago

Below, we list free plugins recommended for different needs, prioritizing lightweight plugins that won't affect your site's performance.

WordPress performance depends on both the quality of your plugins' and themes' code and the environment where your site is hosted. That's why it's a good idea to pair a carefully selected set of plugins with hosting optimized for WordPress.

Some offer paid licenses with more options. Those marked with an asterisk are included in our WordPress maintenance plans:
