5 Common Mistakes New WordPress Users Make (and How to Avoid Them)

WordPress is a powerful platform, but many beginners make small mistakes that can affect the whole website.
Here are 5 common mistakes and how to avoid them:
1️⃣ Not backing up the website
➡️ Use plugins like UpdraftPlus to create regular backups.
2️⃣ Using unoptimized images
➡️ Compress images and use WebP format for better speed.
3️⃣ Installing too many plugins
➡️ Use only trusted and essential plugins. Too many slow down your site.
4️⃣ Not using a child theme
➡️ A child theme helps you keep custom changes safe during updates.
5️⃣ Ignoring mobile responsiveness
➡️ Use Elementor’s mobile view or the WordPress customizer to check mobile layout.
I’ve personally made these mistakes before — and learned from them.
