Recommendations for Must-Have WordPress Add-Ons in 2024?

[hirkanloyal]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to optimize a WordPress site and was wondering what the community recommends as essential add-ons/plugins for 2024. The site is primarily a blog with some e-commerce features, so I'm particularly interested in:

1. SEO Optimization: Any tools that make managing on-page SEO, analytics, or structured data easier.
2. Performance Boost: Plugins that enhance loading speed or improve Core Web Vitals.
3. Security: Recommendations for safeguarding against hacks and vulnerabilities.
4. E-commerce: Add-ons that improve WooCommerce functionality (e.g., better checkout, payment options, or analytics).
5. Miscellaneous: Anything else that has made your WordPress experience smoother or more efficient.

I've looked into some popular ones like Yoast SEO and WP Rocket but would love to hear about your experiences with those or lesser-known gems.

Looking forward to your insights!

Thanks in advance,
