Best of: FAQ

What are the best WordPress plugins and tools?

It depends on the job. Each guide below ranks the options for one job (hosting, cache, SEO, themes, forms, security, LMS) using prices from official pages and, where possible, our own tests.

How do you rank them?

Measured results first, then price, features and support. Tested pages show their raw data; others say clearly that they compare official data.

Do you test everything?

No. We label what we tested ourselves (cache plugins, backups, page weight) and what we compared from official pages.

How often are these updated?

Prices are re-checked monthly and tested pages are re-run when a plugin changes a lot.
