WP Rocket
WordPress caching plugin recommended by Matthew Woodward. Over 933,000+ websites are using it. It’s not free ($49/year, 14 day money back) but affordable.
HummingBird
Another WordPress caching plugin (free). I have tried several caching plugins and they all caused some kind of distortion, except for this one. Be sure to turn it off when you use a visual editor and run into trouble.
RankMath
RankMath is an SEO plugin that is similar to Yoast. Recommended by Matthew Woodward.
