What are your top 5 plugins…

If you could only choose five plugins for your WordPress site, what would they be and why?

This post is fine! It’s not breaking any rules. Asking for opinions on favorite plugins is totally different from listing them yourself.

  1. LiteSpeed Cache - Speed
  2. ACF - Customization
  3. UpdraftPlus - Backups
  4. The SEO Framework - SEO
  5. Perfmatters - Optimization

Nice list! I use Yoast. Did you switch from Yoast to The SEO Framework?

@Morgan
Yeah, I used Yoast before but moved to The SEO Framework. It’s faster, lighter, and more user-friendly.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Yoast. I like how it handles sitemaps though. Maybe I’ll give The SEO Framework a try.

Do you use the free version, or are you on the premium plan?

@Zev
I use the premium extensions as well.

Solid picks. I’d replace Gravity Forms with UpdraftPlus, but I see why you included it!

Yeah, I use UpdraftPlus too, but it’s hard to pick just five.

Why Gravity over WPForms?

Why Gravity over WPForms?

I have an Elite license for Gravity Forms, and it’s cheaper than WPForms. Plus, the documentation and API are much better.

Gravity Forms also has a huge community with lots of third-party plugins that extend its functionality.

Isn’t Bricks Builder technically a theme?

You’re right, but since it’s a page builder, I included it in my list.

Do you like SEOPress more than Yoast?
