OUR FAVORITE WORDPRESS PLUGINS

Having a favorite stack of plugins on your roster can make building out a website less intimidating. When you have a good grasp of your tools and resources, it makes understanding your build (before you begin) a lot easier. Below are just some examples of Cerco’s favorite plugins to use on our websites.

Elementor

Elementor is an industry-favorite, and with good reason. As all our websites are built using WordPress, Elementor has become our holy grail in all things design and functionality. Its interface is easy-to-use and understand, and its implementation is unlike anything we’ve worked with before. With Elementor’s grid system, we can create automatic and seamless device-compatible designs.

Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO makes it simple to understand and implement proper SEO practices. It simplifies the process of optimizing your web content for better search engine rankings. It even provides us with real-time suggestions for improving the language we use for SEO.

Jetpack

Jetpack is installed on all our websites to ensure that we have a full report of our site’s analytics. It also gives you a better understanding of your site’s security and performance – from site analytics to backups, malware scans, and attack protection.

Smush

Smush is another all-time favorite. This plugin will optimize your images without sacrificing the quality of your media. This helps with the site’s loading time and performance greatly, ensuring a smooth user experience for all your visitors.

UpdraftPlus

This plugin is great for scheduling backups and is an essential tool for safeguarding against unexpected data loss. UpdraftPlus simplifies the process of backing up and restoring your WordPress site – it gives you the ability to store them in the cloud or on a preferred storage service.

It’s important to understand what these plugins can do for your WordPress site and we encourage further research to ensure that these options are best for you. WordPress is a versatile CMS platform, and its plugin options allow you the ability and security to customize your website that fits your needs.
