Some plugins are used for security and others give you access to additional features and functionality without having to do any complicated coding or programming.
They’re often free or relatively inexpensive. For example, WordPress has over 50,000 different plugins available in their directory.

Plugins That Optimise Your Site’s Performance
There are a number of plug-ins that you can use to help optimise your site’s performance. We use WP-Optimize.
Specific plugins can speed up the loading of your pages by caching your pages and components. It also minifies your JavaScript and CSS files, and allows for GZIP compression.
Another popular plug-in is CloudFlare. CloudFlare helps to protect your site from DDoS attacks, and improves the performance of your pages by caching them and minifying your JavaScript and CSS files.
Setting Up A Hosting Account For Your Site
Setting up a hosting account for your site is an important process that should not be taken lightly. Having your own hosting account gives you control over your website. This is what is refereed to as ‘self-hosted’.
As opposed to a third party platform hosting your website. These are generally site builder type websites like WordPress.com, Shopify, Wix, Godaddy etc that offer ‘easy’ website building tool that have pay by the month fees.
