The Best for Your WordPress Website

WordPress is nothing without plugins. To enhance the functionality of WordPress Website you need to use WordPress Plugins.

Obviously, some plugins are more high-standard than others. In order to avoid any inconvenience (plugin conflicts, bugs, crash of your site, etc.), I advise you to follow the instructions below when making your choice: Look at the number of active installations. Generally, the higher the better (i.e. the more likely they are to work properly).

But be careful: it’s not always the case. You can find more confidential plugins that remain high-performing. Check user reviews. When the feedback is good, it’s a positive sign. On the other hand, if a plugin faces many criticisms, think carefully before installing it. Take a look at the frequency of updates. If a security plugin has not been maintained for 3 years,

there is probably something wrong. Many plugins are designed by volunteers who don’t always have the time to take care of them regularly. Check if the plugin you are interested in is compatible with your version of WordPress. That being said, don’t focus on this criterion. Think of it as a bonus. Even if the version displayed is not yours, there is a good chance that it will work.
