Importance of WordPress plugins

 

Plugins for website development e-commerce, or simply in WordPress are vital in the same way that applications are essential to a mobile phone. There is no actual need for a mobile phone as it can't be operational. The same goes for WordPress.

There is a strong belief that only WordPress powers nearly a third portion of all websites worldwide. When the plugin addons use this software, it gives many web developers premium feelings and a niche of practice.

Over 1.3 billion plugins are waiting to be downloaded on WordPress, some of these plugins are free, and some require payment ( paid ) to be used. It all goes in the directory ( library ) of WordPress, where they stay for a lifetime and automatically update if there is any for them.

Plugins

When added ( downloaded ) on WordPress, a single plugin will increase its reach in the medium of use and functionality. It also increases the site's capabilities letting the users be involved in more tasks than before.

The host ( owner ) of the website will now have more features to explore, such as setting custom themes, translating anything, pager speed, animation glider, different style of texts, bolding, pagers infeed, and so much more.

Advantages

Plugins are not popular or famous by chance; they are famous for what they provide and are capable of. Here are some of their advantages:

1.        Time-saving

There is no reason not to use the plugins at all. They save time in so much difference. They can help you build your site, develop the website before time, develop marketing strategies, and much more.

Imagine you've got a couple of paragraphs that need to be translated into your native language ( English ) for you to read and understand them. You will hop on google and translate each word, sentence, or paragraph one by one. It consumes a lot of time, but with a plugin, that text will automatically be translated into English within seconds.

2.        Flexibility

Plugins always provide so much to the developers that come in customizing a site with functions and features. Many plugins play old school, such as a bar with on or off labeling, to change font size, color, style, bold text, and so much more.

3.        Reliable

Plugins are the central core of WordPress and are essential because of their reliability. They cost less but give a lot more. This is why billions of websites use plugins at any cost.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of plugins for website e-commerce development are as under:

1)        Vulnerable

They leave your site in its vulnerable state where any malware, virus, or hacker can intervene in your nature of work. Even the highest orders of plugins are not safe.

2)        Limits the functionality

Somehow, they limit the functionality as people are so dependent on these that they neglect those features with better functions already available on WordPress.

3)        Slow down the page speed

The more plugins are added, the more burden gets on WordPress unless you have a high-end PC. But few get this type of PC, so their page speed decreases.
