WP Rocket
The load time of the website is another important factor that Google considers to rank your content high. The problems arise for articles where we add a lot of images, videos, etc. These make the article heavy and slow hence increasing the load time. WP Rocket gives you provisions to load the images and videos as you read through the post. Hence by avoiding a load of the entire page at once, this plugin makes your site and posts load faster. It is also a cache plugin and is really very helpful for loading heavier pages faster.WP Staging
Another very important plugin. This plugin helps you create a copy of your website. You can use this copy or staging site to test your changes. This will also help you fall back to previous changes in case you face any issue on the main website.
