In a previous column, I wrote about how Xiaobai, who can't code, can build his own website from scratch within 30 minutes:
This column will continue to focus on the WP series and talk about the ten recommended plug-ins. In fact, there are more than ten plug-ins. Only one plug-in of the same type needs to be installed. More specific installation needs to be based on your website needs.
Limited by the author's knowledge level, the article has some flaws. Please leave a message in the comment area for discussion.

In the programming world, there is a saying:
Dont reinvent the wheel
Don't build wheels again
And this is in WP plug-in It is especially obvious that tens of thousands of plug-ins, most of the functions you can think of, have been made into plug-ins and released in WP plug-in Therefore, we only need to install the necessary plug-ins that are suitable for us.
This article will recommend WP plug-ins based on the following dimensions:
1、 Cache type plug-in
WP Rocket (this is the most popular cache type plug-in in WP at present, with excellent reputation)
The website speed is not only affected by hardware factors such as the configuration bandwidth of the website server, but also related to the code quality such as the size of our theme. In order to improve the loading speed, some webmasters will choose to expand memcached in PHP to improve the website speed.
WP Rocket can generate static HTML pages. When visitors visit our website, our server will transmit this static page, thus saving the time for the server to generate the entire page and improving the loading speed.
You can set a timed cache in this plug-in. If your site is updated frequently, the set cache interval can be as short as 1.5 hours or one hour. If the site is updated every few days, the set cache interval can be as short as three days.
Although this plug-in is very good, it is also my most recommended cache plug-in, but it can only be used after purchase.
Therefore, there are two free cache plug-ins, which are highly rated and downloaded, and have similar functions: (as shown in the figure)
2、 Video plug-in
Smartideo 2 (allows you to insert videos from station b, Youku, iQiyi and other video websites into your website)
The operation is also very simple, just paste the video address we copied in the article and then publish the article to see the effect. Save resources for our servers.
3、 WP Mail SMTP (mail sending plug-in)
You can set our sending function to provide users with the ability to change their passwords via email, or to notify new articles via email. Only the free basic version is enough.
4、 Elementor (powerful visual page editor plug-in)
This plug-in is quite popular in WP, which can be said to play with the WP site. There are not many people who don't know this page plug-in.
What you see is what you get. The content of the edited page in the editor is also consistent after publishing. The basic version is enough for us to make all kinds of beautiful pages. Of course, if you need their template, you need to pay for their professional version.
5、 SEO type plug-in
Choose one of the two, and I personally recommend RankMath, because the SEO plug-in is completely free, and its functions are the same as the paid functions of Yoast SEO. The only disadvantage is that the plug-in has no Chinese version at present, and it is used in English.
6、 Garbage message filtering plug-in
Akismet Spam Protection
It can help us filter spam comments.
7、 Website backup plug-in
WPvivid Backup Plugin
The most important thing for operating a website is to back up the site in time to prevent our website from failing to recover quickly after an accident.
8、 Website security plug-in
Wordence Security (basic functions are free)
9、 Directory plug-in
Easy Table of Contents
We can quickly add a table of contents for our articles. Speaking of it, we know that there is no table of contents for our articles to be added, and we can only write answers. It's really huge. The functions we can do are not perfect, or do we deliberately ask people not to write columns to answer questions?
10、 Traffic analysis plug-in
MonsterInsights
It can help us count the site data and see the specific situation of the visit.
