7 Wordpress Plugins I install on all websites (2024)

[@rinodeboer]

Here are the 7 plugins I find myself installing on every single website. What plugin do you guys want me to make a separate video about?

[@mooltech]

admin and site enhancement and also we want to you to create tutorials on crocoblock plugin seperately from basic to advance.

[@George-Chris]

Rino, about the image optimizer: there's something more you should have added: when optimizing images on either of those websites, I found it's also best to use the WEBP format instead of JPEG/PNG, because it compresses images even more and doesn't lose quality that much (depends on how much you compress on that percentage scale)

[@5olano]

@@George-Chris i second this - i am currently using that for my current project and its superb - photoshop can save webP but there are also webservices for it.

By using any type of WordPress plugin, I can share my website link everywhere and no one can catch it

[@cc_snipergirl]

I appreciate that you're straight forward and it doesn't feel like you're selling me these. It's hard to find creators that aren't just pushing promotional content, particularly with WordPress plugins. Will definitely be checking out your other videos :)

[@kerenbanget1]

Most free plugins= sucks

[@Q-1424]

You have no idea of the postive value you are adding to this community and this world❤ Thanks a million ❤

[@OluwaseunAdeyeye]

Hey Rino please make a separate video for the ASE plugin

[@aaanesa]

ASE is a game changer 🙌 I honestly have no idea how some of these options are not already in WP by default but alas... Super informative video, thank you!

[@CFalcon030]

Some observations. 1. ASE looks very good. I didn't know about it. 2. About cache, you are unfortunately limited by your hosting company, but redis or varnish are better options than litespeed. Speed is mostly affected by plugins and themes and since it's php, server clockspeed. 3. Security. I wish that in 2024 wordpress developers would stop introducing xss vulnerabilities and even worse sql injections but I don't think it will happen. 4. Classic editor, absolutely essential. And classic widgets. 5. Analytics. You need ga because it is essential for the marketing campaigns your client will run. 6. SEO plugin. I found yoast is introducing slowdowns. 7. Elementor is slow. It's much slower than something like Oxygen for example but it's very intuitive to use. And a question, what do you use for GDPR?

[@kaydee.photos]

My best experiences are with the Borlabs Cookie Plugin

[@veganskidecko2487]

Could u please explain more about the cache part if you dont mind?

[@heyjitendra]

​@@veganskidecko2487basic form of caching is the static caching. Cache like static content of page like images, js and CSS.. WP is a server side framework that means for every request server will fetch the page data from db and then send the html... Now for blog post this is unnecessary. So redis cache is a object cache on server side that caches the db query and stored the pages and on first request it query the db then it caches the page and on subsequent request it looks and cache and server from there. Object cache is generally available on VPS dedicated hosting or high end shared hosting.

[@sturanovicms]

Wow, I've been builidng websites for so long and some of them I've heard for the first time. This is insane!

[@sirnath-f1w]

Как всё отлично пояснено, для меня на данный момент - это лучшая связка, всё детально и по делу. Благодарю

[@RafaelLorenteSalgueiro]

Thanks, the first plugin is the best. If you have more to share, please do it.

[@chriskaelin6566]

Love the video and have installed all but the ManageWP (I only have one website I manage) and the Classic Editor. Would love to see individual videos for the rest of the plugins, especially for ASE.

[@henrythomas7112]

Thanks for the new video! I’m looking forward to seeing what other content you post! Always good to learn as much as you can!

[@dpristavec]

Hi Rino, please make video about settings for the ListeSpeed Cache plugin if the site is hosted on a LiteSpeed server. ;)

[@EvaMustarin]

Thanks for sharing these plugins, I surely learned something new today.

[@stevenbootsma8466]

Thanks Rino, altijd fijn die content van jou. Ik ben net overgestapt op hostinger voor mijn klanten en pas nu ook deze plugins toe. Werkt goed! Heel erg bedankt voor de inspiratie!

[@rinodeboer]

Super om te horen! En nice dat je ook bij Hostinger je klanten host.

[@g4v-mud]

Watching your video after almost a year. looks great with the mustache though. Always informative and motivated. God Speed Brother

[@D3TROITx]

Very great plugin ! I really like these plugin cause they are free and they don't try to sale pro version anywhere on the screen when you are on the admin pages !

[@V12BHP]

Great information. Some more very good alternatives: Clicky Analytics Seraphinite Accelerator for site speed Xagio for multiple WP site management

[@jamessmith-qy7fk]

Hi Rino, 1. Can you Please make a video tutorial about Image Optimization? How to Resize? What Sizes to Resize Images to? What are the Best Tools (not plugins) and what are the Best plugins and why? 2. Can you do a full tutorial about 2 plugins: ASE & LiteSpeed Cashe? (how come you don't use WP Rocket)?

[@aduragbemiayomide.7583]

Hello Rino, I'm a big fan of yours and I would like to say well done. I love your contents and your designs concept. ❤❤❤

[@aduragbemiayomide.7583]

A quick one Rino, please I would like to know if you can explain to me how to know which elementor page layout is best fit for each theme. For example if am using Astra theme is it best to use page builder, elementor full width, elementor canvas and so on. Same with Phlox also.

[@workmode2024]

Great video! Can you please make a separate video about the ASE? 🙏🙏

[@EricaDyson]

Excellent. I use some but also learned about new ones (for me) which I will install NOW!

[@mtnpfi]

Would love a video on ASE!👍🏼🙂

[@ankelimburg]

Great job as always👍 Interesting concept about the SEO, I usually add my paid SEOPress Pro plugin to every website. But I will make changes. Thank you for discussing this.

[@LilacDaisy2]

During this video, I switched back to Siteground Securitiy! Thank you!

[@deduice]

Please do a separate video on this plugin. Thanks

[@zerobambiro]

Ferdy Korpershoek did one a Month ago

[@razibsh]

Great! Also the classic editor is not necessary anymore, there is a setting in ASE plugin 🎉

[@stuart_gill]

He did mention that it didn’t work properly for him, so he still uses Classic Editor.

[@GuntherSnaps]

it's fun to see what other people use. None of these, besides classic are what I would install. Maybe I should make the same video. Interesting concept.

[@SeekaHost]

Great list of plugins to use for 2024!

[@PeterPannekoek1850]

Couldnt find a SEO tutorial from you. I like your explainingskills. Would like to see a SEO plugin tutorial.

[@NenadDr.Keyword]

OK, wow... This is the most useful video i saw in a long time. :)

[@midasonlineservices]

Your most useful video so far, thanks so much Rino 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@GloriaHarmony55]

Oh i so much love all your tutorials 🎉❤, i love the way you breakdown everything especially for me as a beginner, my coach did not teach some of these 😢.... Anyways please keep it up 👏👏

[@web-ready]

Great list! I love to keep it clean and short.

[@garywintle]

Would love to see a comparison video on Elementor vs Webflow, Rino. I keep hearing from people about how great Webflow is, but I'm really big on having better control of my hosting. What do you think the benefits are for Elementor over Webflow?

[@kaydee.photos]

I am still the same here ... I do everything with WP and Avada or Elementor and i think the Webflow or Squarespace packages which suits my or my clients needs are quite pricy. I love that i don't have to update anything because they take care of it but you are bound to one company. Imagine having like 20 websites at Webflow and Webflow goes bankrupt. Redoing 20 sites in WP in 3 days ??? Maybe not ,)

[@hankeriesydney]

clear and concise explanation, thanks Rino

[@perezlazo]

Excellent Rino. I learn a lot. Thanks

[@dominikcampus]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much! Subscription done!

[@obsessedBeach]

You missed something Rino, you can customize the dashboard using ASE, and using WebP is far better than JPG now!

[@aeroblizz1987]

Nice video, though I would never recommend the analytics plugin over Google Analytics I guess. Where is the data stored? If its not in the cloud but just in the WP database, that means there is a chance to lose all valuable data once something happen to your site accidently (backups aside). Second, if someone wants to switch after a year to GA, do they lose all previous data, or can you import previous data into GA?

[@overnight_coder]

Exactly like me... the choices and way of working. 👍

[@harbourdogNL]

Always good videos from you, thanks. I'm part way through your course; struggling with all the taxonomy stuff tho!! I have no experience with it at all.

[@rinodeboer]

Nice to hear! And yes, taxonomies are definitely challenging. Good luck with the course!

[@agnemedia624]

Thanks Interested to see ASE features

[@imtinanahmad350]

Elegent themes dominates every page builder

[@TommyTheMooch]

Great video. Takes a less experience WordPress builder and moves them forward at least 2 years.

[@EdPepCreation]

Please make a separate video on the ASE plugin

[@alpasc]

Thanks Rino ! It turns out I use the same plugins (but with Divi), except for the first one that I will check right away !

[@alpasc]

Forgot 1 ! I replaced Google analytics with Burst statistics, which is recommended by Complianz that I use for GDPR compliance. Way enough for most of the projects and free as well

[@robweaver1075]

Great tutorial as usual.

[@steffsamtoy3310]

Hi Rino, I'd like to view a video for the ASE plugin, as always I love your contents. thanks 😊

[@zadekeys2194]

Rino, your comment on security and the host should add some info - host (back end) is usually responsible for mail server security etc etc . The end user is still responsible for which emails they open. The same applies to website backend and frontend. Your site/database can be compromised from the front via sql injection / MiTM / plug-in vulnerabilities etc.

[@zadekeys2194]

Agreed, less plugins is good in practise, buuuuuut there is always the chance that the single plugin is more resource intensive, beciase it combines many functions into one. Also if that plugin needs to be replaced for any reason, you risk losing lots of other finctionslity

[@getchipbot]

Great video! You should do live chat plugins next 👍

[@brockbernd001]

Geweldig, dank je wel voor de tips

[@helen94able]

Great video thank you so much Rino .. this is very useful

[@legendarystuff6971]

Also, my understanding is, Google can and will use Google Analytics to decide your Google rankings which can be beneficial to you if you have great on-page metrics but for most people it's potentially detrimental.

[@rinodeboer]

Yes, that's also what I understand.

[@TechnikBuddy]

Great super cool video thanks for that. It would be great if you would make your own video of Admin and Site ASE

[@Jay-sp8tn]

Hey Rino, thanks for your videos. There is so much to learn. I would like to request you one topic: How to start conversation with client and close the deal and more importantly how to bill and its structure. I see you mention that you charge 10$ mendatory fee and $20 optional fee monthly. but how do you do that? like you send the payment link every month or have clients CC details to charge automatically or what. Sorry if that confuse you a bit.

[@mohamadhannan453]

Hi Rino, thanks for this amazing info!!!

[@eguchiyuuki]

[@strnad79]

What about GDPR plug in? Which one do you use or prefer?

[@vladimirkarphotography]

Thank you Sir for all your advices

[@huraibi]

Informative as usual.. 🌹 I actually use images2go to compress images and it's so efficient! But I still have a question regarding converting images to WEBP format after they are compressed! Is it a good practice to use WEBP or what's your opinion on this matter?

[@khemsanz]

I usually compress the images before converting into WEBP, makes the images smaller and loads faster.

[@rinodeboer]

WebP is even better than JPG, so if you know how to do that then do it. But I wanted to keep it easy in this video.

[@BrockBarr]

I didn't think you would mention White label CMS. It has the ability to add elementor panels to the dashboard so I would go for this one instead of ASE personally.

[@SujeewaDamayanthi-j5m]

wow.exellent..it is very usefully

Hi, I found this presentation by searching for specific information, which was not covered, but I appreciate the detailed explanations you provided, your visual demonstration were a decent pace to follow, and your speaking on the whole. I have subscribed, and liked, thank you., I do have a question, perhaps you can answere for me; Does Hostiner Hosting, or other WP Hosting provider, enable continued uploads for wp plugins to be added to a WP uploaded site? I am wondering if options become limited after uploading a WP site to a different Managed Hosting Provider. I am new to WP this year, and there is so much to learn , I feel like I spend more time learning than developing my service. Any assistance to my question is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

yes make video on this.

[@Oli_web]

Great video Rino! I was curious about the tools you use to handle SEO requests from your clients? Thanks for your amazing videos from the very beginning (I'm a huge fan). Cheers from Belgium!

[@rinodeboer]

I simply don't offer that service. I just tell them they can look for someone else, because I don't have enough experience in it yet.

[@Oli_web]

@@rinodeboer Thanks for your response. No problem, I thought you were also involved in digital marketing :)

[@rinodeboer]

In the past I used to offer more services, but now I am simplifying my offerings, otherwise I go crazy haha

[@Oli_web]

Well, I hope I'm not on the wrong track by offering services in web development, digital marketing, and graphic design haha

[@rinodeboer]

Haha, well, I wouldn't recommend it personally. Especially as a small business you are already wearing so many hats. Can get overwhelming quite easily. If you want to learn more then I recommend the book: Company of one by Paul Jarvis. He also explains that offering too many services will make it hard to stand out and attract the nice clients. Food for thought.

[@LilacDaisy2]

I'm about to switch from Beaver Builder theme and plugins, to Elimentor pro, and I'm hoping it's easy to get used to the designing difference!

[@MikeSimpson1]

You should consider Kadence theme and their Kadence blocks plugin. It's incredible. Even the free version is sophisticated.

[@LiamSheridanDesigner]

You touched on image compression - what about covering WEBP and SVG images?

[@annsophiebe]

Same question here!

[@localmacfly]

The video suggests to use an external image compression service, but the first plugin (ASE) offers these features : - Automatically resize and compress images on the upload (even png without transparency to jpg) - Allowing upload of svg in the media library - The pro version allows also to convert images to webp

[@felixrivera2691]

Rino, you said something that piqued my interest, not installing RankMath or Youst on a website out of the box but only if the client requests SEO and they pay for it. Please tell me more, I have clients that have not asked for SEO services but I install an SEO plugin on there site, at not charge. What would you charge a client the whats SEO?

[@honeypeadigital]

Simple straight to the point answer is that he can. He may not charge only when a plugin is paid, but per service / feature. E.g., if I'm doing a static website I charge one fee, if I add woocommerce functionality, I charge more. Woocommerce is free, yes, but this is an extra feature and more work. I look at SEO the same way. If someone requests it, I charge, because SEO isn't only about installing a free plugin and leaving it alone. Other things also need to be optimized like H tags, wording etc. So that's more work. But if you do it for free, nothing wrong with that. You make your price and offer what you see as value both for your client and your time.

[@rinodeboer]

Yea, I agree with@@honeypeadigital . The fact that the plugin is free doesn't mean we should install it, since the optimisation of it takes skill, which a client should pay for. The price really depends on the size of the project. But from what I've charged starts at around $500 for a basic optimisation, and goes up once the website is bigger.

[@david-w.]

@@rinodeboer Do you prefer Yoast or RankMath? Thanks 😊

[@rinodeboer]

Not sure which one I prefer tbh. I am not the most experienced in SEO.

[@felixrivera2691]

@@honeypeadigital I agree.

[@AdamoGorz]

1) Image compression tool is ok, but it do only jpg. We need something for converting images into webp or avif. Big difference. 2) How about something for css/script cleaning plugin. Do you use it? For example Asset CleanUp? I use wp rocket + Asset CleanUp and it is big difference. I wonder if Litespeed have built in tool for code management? 3) Thanks for ASE. Installed and will be tested.

[@rinodeboer]

1. WebP is even better indeed. You can always upload the exported JPG's inside of Webp converter to get even better results. 2. That's what's now built into Elementor itself and turned on by default from what I understand 3. Awesome
