WordPress plugins in our tech stack

Content management

Admin Columns ^PRO

Extends WordPress list views with custom columns, allowing editors to easily sort, filter, and edit content directly from the dashboard overview. Great for featured images and alt texts.

Blocksy Companion ^PRO

An extension to the Blocksy theme with tight integration to WooCommerce, MailPoet and PolyLang, a flexible and accessible mega menu, GDPR-friendly local fonts, dark/light mode switch and more.

Content Aware Sidebars

With Content Aware Sidebars, we display dynamic content and widgets based on page type, category or language, not only in the classic sidebar but also in the footer. Great for classic and hybrid themes.

Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker ^PRO

Scans WordPress content for accessibility issues and flags errors, so editors can ensure WCAG compliance directly in the block editor. Requires a little practice, but is extremely effective.

Glossary

With Glossary, we create glossaries with tooltips, small bubbles with the definition of a word when you hover your mouse over it. Glossary is a great tool for making complex content more accessible.

Real Custom Post Order

Allows manual sorting of posts, pages, and custom content types via drag-and-drop in the WordPress control panel. Handy for selecting relevant posts for the front page.

The Icon Block

The Icon Block makes it easy to add icons to content. SVG graphics ensure scalability and high quality with no loss of detail. Colours can be controlled by the theme, which is very handy in light and dark mode.

Support for multiple languages

Polylang

Privacy and GDPR

Antispam Bee

Antispam Bee identifies and blocks spam comments based on IP, country, and content analysis – without CAPTCHA or cookies. If we use the comment functionality, this plugin is highly recommended.

Embed Privacy

Improves GDPR compliance by blocking external embeds such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Spotify until the user actively accepts data sharing via consent. With Embed Privacy, we can avoid cookie pop-ups.

FluentSMTP

With FluentSMTP, we send emails from WordPress via authorised SMTP connections. This minimises the risk of being considered spam, and we can log the traffic to ensure that all emails arrive.

Simple Local Avatars

Adds support for custom avatars stored locally, eliminating the need for external services such as gravatar.com and improving privacy and GDPR compliance.

Security, logging, and backups

Activity Log – Monitor & Record User Changes

Records and displays changes made by users in WordPress, giving us an overview of activity. Extremely valuable when we need to track down the cause of technical or content errors.

All-In-One WP Migration and Backup ^PRO

Clone or ‘migrate’ websites to archives, offline backups, and from development sites to live sites. We archive the old website for future reference and develop in peace and quiet on a separate subdomain.

UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore

Automates backup of WordPress websites to external storage. Allows filtering of what the backup should contain, e.g. only database and media, for a lean and always complete backup.

Wordfence Security – Firewall and Login Security

Adds a firewall, malware scanning, and login protection to WordPress, strengthening security against attacks and unauthorised access. Two-factor login in particular is an easy and effective preventative measure.

Speed optimisation and file compression

EWWW Image Optimizer ^PRO

Automatically optimises images or PDFs upon upload and in bulk, reducing file sizes and improving loading times. We aim for a page size of less than ½ MB, and effective compression is the means to this end.

LiteSpeed Cache

Improves WordPress speed and performance by implementing server-side caching for faster loading and lower load. We prioritise JS and CSS files being fetched externally so that they can be cached.

SEO and visitor statistics

Independent Analytics

GDPR-compliant web analytics without cookies, with real-time statistics, reports and referral data directly in WordPress. Independent of external services like Google Analytics. Matomo is also an option.

Redirection

The Redirection plugin helps manage redirects, improving user experience and SEO by preventing 404 errors and preserving link value. Indispensable for website redesigns.

The SEO Framework

Automates technical SEO optimisation with meta tags and structured data, without advertising or tracking, and with a focus on performance and data protection. A superb alternative to Yoast or RankMath.

E-commerce with webshop
