After years of trial-and-error, I’ve found some of the best tools for WordPress and now use them exclusively for my clients, resulting in faster websites that perform well across platforms and devices without bloat or unnecessary plugins.
If you aren’t running an e-commerce website, the following are all you really need.

Flywheel offers premium WordPress hosting with various packages, depending on your website’s needs. They also include website security, malware removal, free SSL certificates, daily backups (with one-click restore) and one-click staging environments with their fees. The basic package, which is what I typically recommend for the majority of my clients, costs about $150 (USD) per year and is well worth the money when you consider everything that’s included.
A little more expensive than Flywheel, but delivers all of the same services PLUS extra (faster) website power and you can host several websites on just one account.
Elementor Pro is one of the most used website builder plugins on the market that’s packed with functionality and allows you to create an entire website without the need for additional plugins. The paid (Pro) version – at $59.00 (USD) per year – offers more functionality than their free version and pays for itself over and over.
Perfmatters is a WordPress plugin that takes control of your CSS and Javascript and adds a ton of additional functionality in order to speed up your website. For $25.00 (USD) a year, it’s the best value online for what it offers.
