To quickly get a WordPress site up and running with minimal effort, some recommended plugins include W3 Total Cache for performance optimization, Akismet for spam protection, and iThemes Security for security hardening. Divi is a popular premium theme that offers an intuitive drag-and-drop builder interface and lifetime free updates for $69. Alternatively, free themes are available on Envato starting at $0-100 that can be used to get a basic site online quickly. When choosing a hosting provider, support quality should be the top priority area of evaluation.
