Plugin overload kills performance and security. Here is a lean stack we recommend at Visions Digital - Tampa Bay, FL.
Core plugins
- Performance cache plugin with page and object caching.
- Security firewall with login hardening.
- Form plugin with spam protection.
- Image optimization and WebP conversion.
- SEO plugin with local schema support.
What to avoid
Do not stack multiple plugins that do the same thing. It slows the site and increases conflicts.
Tampa Bay note
A fast, secure site is the baseline for ranking locally. Keep the stack lean.
