Just like there’s many themes, there are tons of plug-ins too!
Here’s a rule of thumb: watch out for the latest update.
I’ll list out the must-have plug-ins for any blogger.
Smush compresses your images. This will help your site load faster because it won’t be struggling with big ol’ images.
Need some images to get your blog started? Checkout Unsplash and Pexels.
Want to make your own graphics? I use Canva (they’re offering a Pro trial for FREE for 3o days!).
Aaand if you’re really into details, check out creating your own color palette and font pairings.
It’s not super important now but will help later for developing consistency for your brand.
All-In-One-SEO isn’t too pushy with optimizing your site for getting discovered on search engines.
Contact Form is important for service-based sites. To avoid getting spammed like I did in the beginning, get really simple captcha.
Elementor is my go-to for page building. It lets you control every aspect of the page!
Instagram Feed connects your Instagram to your blog.
