Starting a Site in Wordpress. What are the best practices for Speed, SEO, Plugins?

[Tomthull2]

I've been using blogger for so long, and it just doesnt make sense at this point, so I'm moving on to Wordpress.

I'm very satisfied with the Astra and Ocean themes with elementor, but I'm wondering any tips, tricks, or list of plugins I should be using.

Like wp rocket? Yoast vs all in one SEO. Image smushers?

Really trying to optimize the website with max cdn.

Also, is there any groupbuys I can get for some of these themes/plugins?

I have to say thanks in advance!

Most of the plugins you mentioned above are open-source (free)
If your going with CDN just use Total Cache or Super Cache.

Coming to Themes and Plugins you have Vast choice.
simply take offshore hosting and use themes and plugins which are posted in VIP zone.

Its totally depend on the niche your going to built bro.

I suggest always keep the low plugin usage and simple theme to avoid hackers break-in.

good luck :)
