WordPress plugins and tools that I use to extend website functionality, improve performance and help businesses manage their sites more effectively.
GenerateBlocks is the block-building toolkit I use alongside GeneratePress for custom WordPress development. It provides the flexibility to create bespoke layouts, content structures and reusable components while keeping the underlying site lightweight. I use it where I want detailed control over design and responsive behaviour without relying on a traditional page builder.
Fluent Forms is the WordPress form plugin I use to build contact forms, enquiry forms and more advanced data-capture processes. It provides the flexibility to create anything from straightforward forms to conditional and multi-step workflows, while integrating with other systems when form submissions need to trigger wider marketing or business processes.
ACPT is the WordPress development tool I use for creating custom post types, taxonomies, fields and structured content. It allows me to build websites around the specific information a business needs to manage, rather than forcing everything into standard pages and posts, while providing a more organised foundation for custom WordPress development.
Search & Filter is the WordPress filtering plugin I use when websites need more advanced ways for visitors to find and explore content. It allows me to build tailored search and filtering experiences for areas such as directories, listings, products and structured content, making larger or more complex websites easier for visitors to navigate.
Rank Math is the WordPress SEO plugin I use to manage the technical and on-page foundations of search optimisation. It provides control over titles, metadata, indexing, sitemaps, schema and other important SEO settings, giving me a practical way to configure and manage how a website is presented to search engines.
WP Rocket is the performance optimisation plugin I use to help improve the speed and efficiency of WordPress websites. It handles areas such as caching, file optimisation and other performance improvements that can reduce page-loading times and improve the visitor experience without adding unnecessary complexity to the day-to-day management of the site.
WooCommerce is the e-commerce platform I use when a WordPress website needs to sell products, services or digital content online. It provides a flexible foundation for managing products, orders, payments and customer transactions, while allowing the purchasing experience to be extended and integrated with other WordPress and business systems.
MalCare is the WordPress security plugin I use to help protect websites against malware, hacking attempts and other security threats. It provides automated malware scanning, firewall protection and security monitoring, helping me maintain an additional layer of protection around WordPress websites without adding unnecessary management overhead.
