Before you buy a plugin, check with us. The Xponent stack already covers most common needs, and every plugin we run is one we license, maintain, and support. A plugin you bought elsewhere becomes something we have to learn, secure, and support: we would rather give you the stack answer first.
| Your need | Stack plugin |
|---|---|
| Image optimization (slow images) | ShortPixel |
| SEO (regular/technical) | Rank Math |
| AI / GEO visibility | Squirrly SEO |
| Sales funnels & checkout upsells | WPFunnels |
| Affiliate / referral program | AffiliateWP |
| Branded login page | LoginPress |
| Automations between plugins | Uncanny Automator |
| Video on your site | Presto Player |
| Site migration / backups | All-in-One WP Migration |
| WooCommerce store layouts | Native WooCommerce + Elementor Pro (ShopLentor not part of the approved stack) |
| Vulnerability protection | PatchStack |
| Online courses | TutorLMS |
| Full-site memberships (beyond courses) | Wishlist Member |
If your need is not on the list, ask anyway: we hold licenses for more tools than the core stack (project boards, data tables, conditional content, and more). If a tool is genuinely right for your site, we approve it, install it, and support it. The answer is never just “no”: it is “here is what we already run, or here is what we would run instead.”
| Practice | Why |
|---|---|
| Stack first | Every common need has a supported answer already |
| Evaluate centrally | One team vets tools: no unvetted plugins on managed sites |
| Approved = supported | If we approve it, we own it: install, updates, and support |
| No random plugins | Fewer tools, fewer conflicts, faster support |
