  3. Research and Install Plugins: Before installing a plugin, read user reviews, check the number of active installations, and ensure it is compatible with your WordPress version. Install only reliable and frequently updated plugins from reputable sources to maintain security and compatibility.

  4. Configuring and Customizing Plugins: Once installed, configure each plugin according to your requirements. Pay attention to plugin settings and customization options to align them with your website's goals. Be cautious not to install too many plugins, which can impact performance.
