Backups - We shouldn't need to say that you should always backup your website. With @UpdraftPlus, you can schedule backups and even backup to cloud storage.

Security - It is a fact of life that hackers will always try and gain access to your website. Security plugins such as @wordfence try and make that as harder as possible for them. Use this along with good security practises like strong passwords.

SEO - What is the point of having your business online if it can't be found? Use a SEO plugin such as @rankmath to make the process of setting up your SEO easier. It provides onpage SEO analysis to help you tune the content.

Design - If you want to take the look and feel of your WordPress website to the next level, then a page builder is the answer. Our favourite is @elemntor which is a very powerful tool to help you make creative websites.

Performance - Page load time is one of the factors that Google uses to rank a website. One easy way to improve this is to use a plugin such as Smush by @wpmudev. It helps to compress your images to reduce their file size and their load time.

With all plugins, it is important that you keep them updated so that you get the latest security fixes and features.
