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.
