WordPress Plugins
WordPress plugins are being used to add the specific functions to our WordPress website. They can increase our website performance with less to zero setting. That means we can add some functions to our WordPress website without having to deal with the scripts. But, keep in mind that using WordPress plugins mean that we only use them for a specific function, and adding them up on top of other plugins might end up in an unpleasant result. So, here’s the list of free WordPress plugins that can be used safely together:

Sort Admin Menus
This plugin sorts out dashboard submenu alphabetically. This will be very useful when you use many plugins. I used to get lost searching for even the common term such as “Media” because of how the submenu being randomly ordered. This is how my Setting sub menu looked before:

Pixabay Images
We know that adding some appealing images to our WordPress post is good for SEO. But, what if we’re running out of stock images? And randomly picking the image you can find on Google just doesn’t feel right? I have a good news for you, we can use Pixabay WordPress plugins.
Pixabay is an online photo/image source contributed by the artists worldwide sharing their photos and illustration for free. The better news is, you don’t have to bother mentioning the artist yourself since this plugin already does that for you. You can choose where to put that Pixabay image and in what size. The options are to put it in your article or as your featured image.
Just check the image below to see how it works.

Smush Image Compression and Optimization
Getting an appealing image for our website is one thing, but keeping those images from slowing down our website is another thing. If you happen to pick all the high-resolution images for your mobile visitor, this will give them a bad experience caused by slow loading time. WP Smush can fix that by resizing those images either for a specific image one by one, or by bulking action.

AMP For WP
Google made Accelerated Mobile Page into account in order to give the mobile user a better and faster surfing experience. However, the standard AMP makes our websites look like all other websites. Plain and dull.
Accelerate Mobile Pages for WP comes in handy. It has a dedicated page builder that allows us to design how our page will look on our mobile visitor’s screens. And if you don’t have time to design your own page, you can pick the pre-built pages and start from there.

That’s for the design. And for the function, AMP for WP also lets us use our AMP header/footer and AdSense AMP Auto Ads script.
