Suggested plugins

Initially, it can be quite challenging to distinguish which ones are genuinely useful and which ones you should steer clear of. In such situations, you can depend on reviews from other users and also check the last update date of the plugin. The last update date is a good indicator of whether there’s a developer or team behind the plugin who is actively maintaining and improving it. However, if you are still feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, there are a few suggestions for reliable plugins that can be very helpful in your day-to-day work.
