cPanel Mission Critical, Discouraged WordPress Plugins

Some WordPress plugins are discouraged on cPanel Hosting for Mission Critical Sites for security or performance reasons.

Page Builders

Page Builders are generally not compatible with the Illinois Theme and their interfaces and the content they produce are often insufficiently accessible. Examples of Page Builders include Divi, Elementor, WP Bakery, and others. This is not to be confused with Block Libraries, which should be evaluated individually but often offer some acceptable options.

Access Control Plugins

Access control in WordPress can be complicated. Often access control plugins do not provide the level of control necessary for truly private content. If you have a need to keep content private, please reach out to our team for a consultation.
