What plugins do you not support on your hosting?
Table of contents
Managed WordPress hosting platforms, including CyberOptik, don’t allow every plugin. We run caching, backups, and security at the server level, so plugins that duplicate those features can conflict with the platform or waste resources. Others can also cause database bloat, known security holes, or incompatibilities with our platform’s stack.
Below are plugins that we do not allow/support on our hosting.
