Standard set

By James

These are the plugin's I personally use and recommend to my students and team members. Many of these are redundant, however cause no issue. If speed is an issue they can be removed if you choose too. I recommend activating Bullet Proof Security first, to not create any conflicts. -WP Super Cache (Jetpack offer's Cache) -WP DB Back up (Bullet Proof Security has back up, Jet Pack also offer paid backup. I personally want more than one back up) -Autoptimize and Short Pixel could be redundant on new site. However if site already up and running both maybe needed.

Plugins on the list:
