Benefits, installation, tips and hosting

What is WordPress?

WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), with over 40% of all websites on the internet using it. Its strengths lie in its flexibility and extensibility, making it an ideal solution for small and large websites, blogs, and online stores alike.

WordPress is an open-source project maintained by a large community of developers and volunteers worldwide. It is owned and managed by the non-profit WordPress Foundation. The code for WordPress is written in PHP, and it uses MySQL or MariaDB databases for data storage.

To create a WordPress website, you need a domain and web hosting, where the content management system, files, and database are stored. Most web hosting services offer an easy installation tool that allows you to set up WordPress fast.

Tips for Getting Started with WordPress

After installation, you can enhance your website’s features with plugins and themes. We recommend completely removing any plugins you do not use on the final site. This helps reduce unnecessary strain on the site’s performance.

Themes and Plugins

Themes and plugins allow you to endlessly customize the appearance and functionality of your website. Themes determine the visual look of the site and can be easily modified using the theme customizer tool. Plugins, on the other hand, add new features to the site, such as contact forms, SEO tools, and e-commerce capabilities. Both free and premium themes and plugins are available.

Useful Plugins to Start with

  • Elementor: A drag-and-drop page builder. Create beautiful pages without coding.
  • Yoast SEO: Basic SEO tool to easily manage titles, meta descriptions, and more.
  • Jetpack: Enhances site security, speed, and provides traffic analysis.
  • Ninja Forms: Create contact forms easily.
  • WooCommerce: Popular e-commerce platform./li>
  • LiteSpeed Cache: Cache plugin that improves site performance and loading speed. Requires compatible hosting.

Security and Maintenance

During the installation phase, it’s advisable to go through WordPress’s security settings and ensure that the themes and plugins being used are compatible and up-to-date. Regular updates protect the site from vulnerabilities. Always use strong passwords and delete user profiles that are not in use.

Performance Optimization

Site speed is crucial for user experience and search engine visibility. Speed can be improved in various ways, such as using caching plugins and optimizing images. The choice of server environment also significantly affects performance. WordPress-optimized web hosting often provides better performance and reliability.
