admin and site enhancement and also we want to you to create tutorials on crocoblock plugin seperately from basic to advance.
Rino, about the image optimizer: there's something more you should have added: when optimizing images on either of those websites, I found it's also best to use the WEBP format instead of JPEG/PNG, because it compresses images even more and doesn't lose quality that much (depends on how much you compress on that percentage scale)
@@George-Chris i second this - i am currently using that for my current project and its superb - photoshop can save webP but there are also webservices for it.
By using any type of WordPress plugin, I can share my website link everywhere and no one can catch it

You have no idea of the postive value you are adding to this community and this world❤
Thanks a million ❤
Thanks for the new video! I’m looking forward to seeing what other content you post! Always good to learn as much as you can!
Hey Rino please make a separate video for the ASE plugin
I appreciate that you're straight forward and it doesn't feel like you're selling me these. It's hard to find creators that aren't just pushing promotional content, particularly with WordPress plugins. Will definitely be checking out your other videos :)
Most free plugins= sucks
Thanks Rino, altijd fijn die content van jou. Ik ben net overgestapt op hostinger voor mijn klanten en pas nu ook deze plugins toe. Werkt goed! Heel erg bedankt voor de inspiratie!
Super om te horen! En nice dat je ook bij Hostinger je klanten host.
ASE is a game changer 🙌 I honestly have no idea how some of these options are not already in WP by default but alas... Super informative video, thank you!
Great job as always👍 Interesting concept about the SEO, I usually add my paid SEOPress Pro plugin to every website. But I will make changes. Thank you for discussing this.
Love the video and have installed all but the ManageWP (I only have one website I manage) and the Classic Editor. Would love to see individual videos for the rest of the plugins, especially for ASE.
Wow, I've been builidng websites for so long and some of them I've heard for the first time. This is insane!
Your most useful video so far, thanks so much Rino 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great list! I love to keep it clean and short.
❤❤❤❤❤
make a separate video for the ASE plugin.
Thank you!
please make a separate video for the ASE plugin
Oh i so much love all your tutorials 🎉❤, i love the way you breakdown everything especially for me as a beginner, my coach did not teach some of these 😢.... Anyways please keep it up 👏👏
Hello Rino, I'm a big fan of yours and I would like to say well done. I love your contents and your designs concept. ❤❤❤
A quick one Rino, please I would like to know if you can explain to me how to know which elementor page layout is best fit for each theme. For example if am using Astra theme is it best to use page builder, elementor full width, elementor canvas and so on. Same with Phlox also.
Very great plugin ! I really like these plugin cause they are free and they don't try to sale pro version anywhere on the screen when you are on the admin pages !
Watching your video after almost a year. looks great with the mustache though. Always informative and motivated. God Speed Brother
Exactly like me... the choices and way of working. 👍
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much! Subscription done!
Great information. Some more very good alternatives:
Clicky Analytics
Seraphinite Accelerator for site speed
Xagio for multiple WP site management
Hi Rino, thanks for this amazing info!!!
Hi Rino, please make video about settings for the ListeSpeed Cache plugin if the site is hosted on a LiteSpeed server. ;)
Great list of plugins to use for 2024!
OK, wow... This is the most useful video i saw in a long time. :)
Always good videos from you, thanks. I'm part way through your course; struggling with all the taxonomy stuff tho!! I have no experience with it at all.
Nice to hear! And yes, taxonomies are definitely challenging. Good luck with the course!
Couldnt find a SEO tutorial from you. I like your explainingskills. Would like to see a SEO plugin tutorial.
Excellent Rino. I learn a lot. Thanks
Hi Rino,
1. Can you Please make a video tutorial about Image Optimization?
How to Resize? What Sizes to Resize Images to? What are the Best Tools (not plugins) and what are the Best plugins and why?
2. Can you do a full tutorial about 2 plugins: ASE & LiteSpeed Cashe? (how come you don't use WP Rocket)?
Geweldig, dank je wel voor de tips
Thanks
Interested to see ASE features
Hello Rino, please make a detailed video of the ASE plugin. Thanks!
Rino, your comment on security and the host should add some info - host (back end) is usually responsible for mail server security etc etc . The end user is still responsible for which emails they open. The same applies to website backend and frontend.
Your site/database can be compromised from the front via sql injection / MiTM / plug-in vulnerabilities etc.
it's fun to see what other people use. None of these, besides classic are what I would install. Maybe I should make the same video. Interesting concept.
Thank you Sir for all your advices
During this video, I switched back to Siteground Securitiy! Thank you!
Would love a video on ASE!👍🏼🙂
Great super cool video thanks for that. It would be great if you would make your own video of Admin and Site ASE
Thank you so much! Appreciate it 🙌
Nice one Rino this helped
Thank you Rino!
Great List
Thanks Rino ! It turns out I use the same plugins (but with Divi), except for the first one that I will check right away !
Forgot 1 ! I replaced Google analytics with Burst statistics, which is recommended by Complianz that I use for GDPR compliance. Way enough for most of the projects and free as well
Excellent!
Great video. Takes a less experience WordPress builder and moves them forward at least 2 years.
Great video! You should do live chat plugins next 👍
Please make a separate video on the ASE plugin
Thanks for the video. By any change, have you tried pods instead of ACF, and what is your take on it?
great video. Thanks! :)
Best one CZcamsr
Nice video, though I would never recommend the analytics plugin over Google Analytics I guess. Where is the data stored? If its not in the cloud but just in the WP database, that means there is a chance to lose all valuable data once something happen to your site accidently (backups aside). Second, if someone wants to switch after a year to GA, do they lose all previous data, or can you import previous data into GA?
Thanks, this is great. What makes Elementor preferred over the Spectra builder, please?
Thank you.
Thanks for great video. I UAE ACF and Csutom Post Type and see I can use ACf only now thanks for info. But with a site having both is there way to migrate the custom post types across to ACF or way to get these custom post types appearing after deactivating CPT?
Please do a separate video on this plugin. Thanks
Ferdy Korpershoek did one a Month ago
Great tips. And you mentioend Crocoblock - Any thought to do a new Crocoblock Tutorial?
Hey Rino, thanks for your videos. There is so much to learn. I would like to request you one topic: How to start conversation with client and close the deal and more importantly how to bill and its structure. I see you mention that you charge 10$ mendatory fee and $20 optional fee monthly. but how do you do that? like you send the payment link every month or have clients CC details to charge automatically or what. Sorry if that confuse you a bit.
Well explained!
Great video Rino! I was curious about the tools you use to handle SEO requests from your clients? Thanks for your amazing videos from the very beginning (I'm a huge fan). Cheers from Belgium!
I simply don't offer that service. I just tell them they can look for someone else, because I don't have enough experience in it yet.
@@rinodeboer Thanks for your response. No problem, I thought you were also involved in digital marketing :)
In the past I used to offer more services, but now I am simplifying my offerings, otherwise I go crazy haha
Well, I hope I'm not on the wrong track by offering services in web development, digital marketing, and graphic design haha
Haha, well, I wouldn't recommend it personally. Especially as a small business you are already wearing so many hats. Can get overwhelming quite easily. If you want to learn more then I recommend the book: Company of one by Paul Jarvis. He also explains that offering too many services will make it hard to stand out and attract the nice clients. Food for thought.
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really good
yes make video on this.
Very nice!
Great video. However, I wanted to know how to create a web application on WordPress and what plugin we will use. I think it might be a lot of plugins we have to use. If you know how to do it or a plugin to recommend, please share. Thank you a lots
Bedankt gap
Also webp images are really good to use.
Would love to see a comparison video on Elementor vs Webflow, Rino.
I keep hearing from people about how great Webflow is, but I'm really big on having better control of my hosting. What do you think the benefits are for Elementor over Webflow?
I am still the same here ... I do everything with WP and Avada or Elementor and i think the Webflow or Squarespace packages which suits my or my clients needs are quite pricy. I love that i don't have to update anything because they take care of it but you are bound to one company. Imagine having like 20 websites at Webflow and Webflow goes bankrupt. Redoing 20 sites in WP in 3 days ??? Maybe not ,)
What about GDPR plug in? Which one do you use or prefer?
Hello,
Interesting presentation, but you can make a video about a free plugin and a paid one for a plugin in which you can modify the standard register, login and account fields in woocommerce, I found something but I don't know which one is better.
Great! Also the classic editor is not necessary anymore, there is a setting in ASE plugin 🎉
He did mention that it didn’t work properly for him, so he still uses Classic Editor.
I didn't think you would mention White label CMS. It has the ability to add elementor panels to the dashboard so I would go for this one instead of ASE personally.
I was waiting for your vedio
Some observations. 1. ASE looks very good. I didn't know about it. 2. About cache, you are unfortunately limited by your hosting company, but redis or varnish are better options than litespeed. Speed is mostly affected by plugins and themes and since it's php, server clockspeed. 3. Security. I wish that in 2024 wordpress developers would stop introducing xss vulnerabilities and even worse sql injections but I don't think it will happen. 4. Classic editor, absolutely essential. And classic widgets. 5. Analytics. You need ga because it is essential for the marketing campaigns your client will run. 6. SEO plugin. I found yoast is introducing slowdowns. 7. Elementor is slow. It's much slower than something like Oxygen for example but it's very intuitive to use. And a question, what do you use for GDPR?
My best experiences are with the Borlabs Cookie Plugin
Could u please explain more about the cache part if you dont mind?
@@veganskidecko2487basic form of caching is the static caching. Cache like static content of page like images, js and CSS.. WP is a server side framework that means for every request server will fetch the page data from db and then send the html... Now for blog post this is unnecessary.
So redis cache is a object cache on server side that caches the db query and stored the pages and on first request it query the db then it caches the page and on subsequent request it looks and cache and server from there.
Object cache is generally available on VPS dedicated hosting or high end shared hosting.
excellent 👌
Hi! You said that “people don’t know how to build efficiently. They don’t know how to work with dynamic content, globally or with images”. Images I get, but is there a way you can mess up your sites performance with dynamic content or using globals? 7:47 ps good content!
thank you @rinodeboer for all your input. Are you also using an cache plugin for your clients?
Informative as usual.. 🌹
I actually use images2go to compress images and it's so efficient!
But I still have a question regarding converting images to WEBP format after they are compressed! Is it a good practice to use WEBP or what's your opinion on this matter?
I usually compress the images before converting into WEBP, makes the images smaller and loads faster.
WebP is even better than JPG, so if you know how to do that then do it. But I wanted to keep it easy in this video.
I have a hostinger wordpress website, but I've no idea how to set up litespeed, can you make a tutorial perhaps?
Agreed, less plugins is good in practise, buuuuuut there is always the chance that the single plugin is more resource intensive, beciase it combines many functions into one. Also if that plugin needs to be replaced for any reason, you risk losing lots of other finctionslity
What others wp admin panel customize plugins do you recommend
dear Rino - wow - just another awesome video 🚀 thank you so much!!! plz keep up the great work - cant wait to see the Upcoming Wordpress-version - plz do more vids and bring them to the world - spread the word all over the globe: ❤ 😊👍 👏👏💥 🎆💥🎆🌟🌟🌟🎆💥👏👏👏👏👏🎆 plz inform us - we cant wait ... ;)
Hey Rino, I'm curious about the privacy & security of these image compression tools you are using. Some clients have photos that require compression but worry about this aspect and having their material stored on an external database.
It's easy to use Photoshop or any other image editor installed on a computer to resize images. Doing this is preferable for such clients.
Yea I agree with@@kc3302 , I would recommend using Lightroom if the client worries about this specifically because Lightroom has bulk resize and compression export features.
@@rinodeboer Lightroom still as to learn how to convert to WEBP
Please make a separate video for the ASE Plugin
I'm about to switch from Beaver Builder theme and plugins, to Elimentor pro, and I'm hoping it's easy to get used to the designing difference!
You should consider Kadence theme and their Kadence blocks plugin. It's incredible. Even the free version is sophisticated.
Off-topic, great video as usual. I'm shopping around for a new lightweight, breathable home office chair, what's yours?
Thank you. My chair is from autonomous.ai , its the Ergo Chair Pro. I really like the adjustability and the design.
Thanks Rino @@rinodeboer 👍
Thanks for the video. I'm missing a cookie notice plugin. Or is this possible with Elementor?
Not possible within Elementor itself, but it is possible with a separate plugin like Complianz or CookieYes
I need a video about prototyping in Figma pleaseeee
Rino is the best❤
You touched on image compression - what about covering WEBP and SVG images?
Same question here!
The video suggests to use an external image compression service, but the first plugin (ASE) offers these features :
- Automatically resize and compress images on the upload (even png without transparency to jpg)
- Allowing upload of svg in the media library
- The pro version allows also to convert images to webp
Thanks for the video Rino. Isn't there a plugin hide plugin keys? Say for example if you want to hide your Elementor Pro plugin from clients.
I have never heard of that. Why would you want to do that?
@@rinodeboer I saw in a FB group discussion, that a client of freelancers has cloned the website that the freelancer had developed and started creating websites himself for others. In the same discussion, some mention that some clients can check the wp database and see the plugin key. According to them, the key is visible to anyone who can check the wp database.
Oh that's weird. That should be hidden. I think this is just a flaw from the plugin developer, because that code should not show up. But to answer your question: No, I don't know. I'm sorry.
@@rinodeboer No issue at all Rino. Thank you for your reply.
What about perfmatters plugin? Similar to admin site enhancement
Hello Rino can I ask u what software do you use to record your videos and edit them ?
I use Screenflow to record my screen (that's a mac app) and I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro.
I am looking for a simple plugin where i can upload a .csv file with student name and exam id, and exam id card to be generated based on search, do we have any easy plugin for that
1) Image compression tool is ok, but it do only jpg. We need something for converting images into webp or avif. Big difference.
2) How about something for css/script cleaning plugin. Do you use it? For example Asset CleanUp? I use wp rocket + Asset CleanUp and it is big difference. I wonder if Litespeed have built in tool for code management?
3) Thanks for ASE. Installed and will be tested.
1. WebP is even better indeed. You can always upload the exported JPG's inside of Webp converter to get even better results.
2. That's what's now built into Elementor itself and turned on by default from what I understand
3. Awesome
There is not much tutorials on CZcams about new version of ACF .. can you please make video about it?😊❤
Sure! I will put it on my video idea list 👌🏼
Can you suggest a good WP aggregator plugin?
Hey Rino, i'm pretty new at all this but have so far built a site but not happy with the layouts. If I install elementor and try to use it with current content will it stuff up everything i've done so far or would I need to start over?
It depends on what you mean with current content. Do you mean blogposts that you’ve made with the Posts feature in Wordpress? Or pages that you made with another plugin. But in general; Elementor works relatively well on top of older websites. But not always.
I've written blog posts with a theme template. I assume I can simply start dragging and dropping into existing posts?
You can transform your current blogpost into an Elementor page, but that will turn the whole text into one widget, which you cannot add things in between. So then you will have to redo some parts if you want to place Elementor widgets between the text.
Hi, Rino thanks for your time. Check your this video at 19:44 it’s showing just black screen with a bg music.
Thanks so much! I changed it now
How can I show portfolio category in home menu in 2 different name but I can't use filters in what should I do
Any suggestions please
nice beard and thanks for the video
