Plugins

A plugin is the medium in WordPress where you can configure almost everything, which is why websites are created with a large number of plugins. However, it is not advisable to proceed in this way.

This ensures that you need to load as few resources as possible and therefore your WordPress website will be as fast as everyone else.

Themes

With your WordPress theme, you can style your website as you see fit. However, it is advisable to look around for reviews from others and keep an eye on whether the theme is regularly updated. This is very important for the security and loading time of your WordPress website. Also try to look around to see how big all the files are for the theme and whether this has been organized in a logical way.
