The Must Have Plugins of 2020

Are you a web hosting company who’s looking to customize your client’s websites to a ginormous degree? Well you can now, thanks to the plugins offered by WordPress. WordPress Plugins are PHP scripts that extend the functionality of WordPress. They enhance the features of WordPress or add entirely new features to your site. And the best part about all this is that most of them are completely free of charge. However just because something is free does not mean it would not come at a cost. What I mean to say is that some plugins may be detrimental to your website causing all sorts of problems with its functionality. So, you are going to have to be very careful when you’re picking your poison (plugins). Fortunately for you I have made a list of plugins that are not just safe but can also significantly improve the functionality, aesthetics, and efficiency of your site. So here you go:
