Wordpress recommendations, THE BEST of THE BEST

wormatne · Jun 24, 2022

I'm not that familiar with WordPress but would like to know what are the best themes, plugins, and setups you are using for maximizing the conversion rate on your site?

What pluggins do you use for:

Marketing opt-in
newsletter, SMS, notifications pop-up, review discount offer...

Marketing tracking
Google ads, Facebook ads, GTM

Ecommerce
product abandonment tracking, recover cart abandonment tracking, upsell checkout, bundle sell...

The SEO-friendly theme for eCommerce?

Best SEO plugins?

I started creating the exact same thread and then I saw yours, I am also intrested as I have been jumping between so many plugins and themes and I still think I am getting it wrong.

Will be a awsome starting point.

I think if you don't use custom post types, custom fields and elementor, you are missing out.
With wordpress you can build much powerfull sites nowadays.

I would better read reviews and test the plugins to see any that's compatible with your website. Try try try. You don't have to use what website A or Website B is using. Just use the one that makes life super easy and achieve your goals.

There are a bunch of cart abandonment recovery plugins. @Festinger is your goto.

Hi Thanks,

I already have access to @Festinger and it is the best thing since sliced cheese, but it is very overwelming for a beginner where do you start.

Reading reviews and testing plugins would be the next step let call it Optimisation step, we now talking about starting as a beginner.

What would be the best starting Plugins or Themes to have for when starting a blog or tube or so on..

Perfect example is below: Thanks @LuckyNow

Marketing tracking

I haven't researched any plugins for marketing tracking for Google ads, Facebook ads, GTM. I can set up this all through GTM but wonder if there are better solutions for WordPress?

Ecommerce

I heard that CartFlows Pro is good for cart abandonment? Is there any better?

What's the best payment plugin? I read that WP Simple Pay is good?

The SEO-friendly theme for eCommerce?

Does anyone have advanced testing for the eCommerce site? How are speeds with 4000 products and all the plugins enabeled?

I also need a lot of automatizations, product schemas, and product manipulations (price, discounting, bulk picture uploading and pairing with a product, bulk product descriptions...)

Thrive themes are known to have good conversion optimization, have you tried Thrive architect?

I read that Shoptimizer is a good eCommerce theme? Is there better?

Best SEO plugins?

Rank Math SEO PRO
I head that Yoast is bloated and there are better options?
Is Link Whisper Pro good or are there any better options for building SEO content siloes? (I do this manually..)

What are must-have SEO plugins that are really stress-tested and good?

Backup

I found iThemes BackupBuddy, is there some better?

I need backup to be on google drive and not on the server

Security

Any good plugin for securing WordPress from all those bot attacks, or copying?

Blackhat

What is a good plugin for copying content and posting it on your site? The plugin would need to be set up for specific sites and copy-post the article as soon the site post

Please tag anyone who can contribute to this thread so we can spread the information and save some time

I recommend:

Cart flows Pro (Cart abandonment)
The SEO Framework (SEO)
Wordfence (Security)
Updraftplus (backup)

Thank me later.

My experience using them is WOWWW! But I have no idea about Thrive themes so I will leave it out for others to give you their suggestions.

With elementor and custom post types and custom fields you can build more advanced websites.
