Benefits – Benefits – Benefits
Having a review done by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website, as was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

John
To start off I have a couple plugins that I have yet to use but thought you might want to know they exist. Keep in mind the ratings are based off the descriptions on their site and using their demo if available.

WP Performance
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-performance/
What they Say:
WP Performance is a performance plugin that aims to make that “speed up” process a bit simpler by adding a variety of performance tweaks to your WordPress site.
This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic content, and it uses mod_rewrite to load cache files which is the fastest method.
Multisite Support
WP Performance does not support multisite yet.
Features
- Page cache
- Cache preloading
- Browser cache
- GZIP Compression

The next plugin I have for you is:
Premium Blocks for Gutenberg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/premium-blocks-for-gutenberg/
The Lowdown:
OK it is here so may as well get used to it. I have started playing with Gutenberg and there are a couple nice things but I have had to insure a couple sites stay as classic. The one interesting thing is the custom blocks being built. This pllugin gives you 10 blocks like banners, buttons and maps.
I used this for the map block you can customize the map with custom icons the setup is pretty easy all in all not too bad looking.
Rating 4 Dragons.

The last plugin I have here today is:
WP Hide & Security Enhancer
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-security-enhancer/
The Lowdown:
You may have need to maximize your site security and this could be a plugin for you. This plugin hides everything from prying eyes. This plugin will hide not only your login url but the locations of your plugins, uploads and themes. It blocks the XML-RPC API blocks direct access to all folders. It will do such a good job that the online detectors won’t even recognize it as a WordPress theme.
Rating 5 Dragons
ClassicPress Options
Adding a new segment just for Classic Press since the release of Gutenberg ClassicPress has garnered allot of attention.
I will be realzing a short screen cast about the conversion of a site to ClassicPress and it looked to go very well fast and easy.
This weeks ClassisPress plugin/s
I will bring one or more plugins per week here as I can test them.
Notes about last weeks plugin WordFence it will show some false positives because of the file changes.
This week we have another one of my staple plugins.
PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry
https://wordpress.org/plugins/powerpress/
The Lowdown:
I have been using this plugin for 8 years now ever since I started this show and it has done nothing but improve over the years. From the testing I have done with it on my ClassicPress site it looks to be working well with no issues.
Rating 5 Dragons.
