A Safer Approach to WordPress Plugins

Choose extensions carefully and remove tools that no longer serve the site.

Before installing a plugin, identify the task it solves and check its update history, documentation, compatibility, and permissions. Avoid overlapping tools without a clear need.

Back up the site before significant changes. Remove inactive plugins you no longer need and test key pages after updates.
