Do you always struggle with how many plugins are suitable for building a WordPress website? Are you afraid of getting stuck in PPT if you install too much, and afraid of not having enough functionality if you install too little? As a blogger who has stepped into N plugin pitfalls, today I will share with you the "List of Simplified Plugin for Personal Use". Novices can simply copy it without stepping on it
🌟 Core plugin 1: Beaver Builder (a website building tool that replaces Elementor)
✅ Reason for mandatory installation:
Both are drag and drop visual editors, more lightweight than Elementor! The basic version provides free features to create clean and tidy pages, while the Pro version has a rich template library (one click application for blog pages, product pages, and landing pages), faster loading speed, and is more user-friendly for novice devices
💡 Novice tips:
Encountering complex design requirements? Ask ChatGPT for code directly! For example, "How to use HTML to create a floating navigation bar", simply copy and paste it into a custom module, and even with zero code foundation, you can easily optimize the details
🌟 Core Plugin 2: SEO Plugin (Choose 1 is enough!)
✅ My ultimate choice: Yoast SEO
Previously, I used Rank Math with Feng Feng, but I was shocked by the fact that it was allowed to be included, but the code secretly added the noindex tag (many bloggers in foreign forums roast!), which almost made the website "invisible" by the search engine. After switching back to Yoast, a stable batch has been established, including keyword analysis, title optimization, and automatic generation of XML maps. Novices can simply follow the prompts to fill in the content
⚠️ Avoiding pitfalls reminder:
Don't install two SEO plugins! Yoast and Rank Math may clash, leading to functional conflicts. Choosing one to use is more secure
🌟 Core Plugin 3: Security Plugin (a must-have for website survival!)
✅ Highly recommended: Wordfence Security
The most easily overlooked aspect for beginners is website security! This plugin can intercept hacker attacks in real time, scan malicious code, and remind you to update WordPress versions and plugin vulnerabilities in a timely manner. The most considerate feature is the "login protection" function, which can set up secondary verification to prevent account theft (painful lesson: I didn't install security plugins before, and the backend was almost maliciously logged in!)
💡 Lazy usage:
After installation, turn on "automatic scanning" and you will receive a security report every week. If there are any problems, simply click "one click repair" without having to tinker around by yourself
Except for the three core plugins mentioned above, it is recommended to "install them when needed" for other plugins:
-Backup plugin: After the website has a certain amount of data, the free "UpdraftPlus" is sufficient for use
-Comment management: In the initial stage, there are few comments and no need to install them. In the later stage, when there are more advertising comments, add "Akismet"
💡 The golden principle of plugin simplification:
1. Only one duplicate function is left, such as SEO plugins, caching plugins, and excessive installation=adding chaos
2. Regularly clean up "zombie plugins": plugins that have been inactive for more than a month should be deleted decisively, as they may occupy memory and pose security risks
In fact, building a WordPress website doesn't require stacking plugins at all. Beaver Builder is responsible for "appearance", Yoast is responsible for "traffic", Wordfence ensures "security", and adding 1-2 tool plugins as needed can make the website run fast and stable. Installing too many plugins can actually slow down the loading speed. Novices should remember: less and more, more and more!
