Plugins play a huge role in making a WordPress site functional and user-friendly. For this website, I reactivated several plugins that add important features like security, backups, accessibility, and analytics.
For example, Jetpack helps monitor site activity and provides security features, while UpdraftPlus ensures that my website is backed up regularly. Akismet helps filter out spam comments, which keeps the site clean and professional. I also used an accessibility plugin to make the website easier to use for all visitors.
In addition to those, I installed new plugins like All in One SEO, MonsterInsights, and Smush to improve search visibility, track user behavior, and optimize images for faster loading times. These tools work together to create a better experience for both the site owner and visitors.
