What Is WPMU DEV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s kick-off this WPMU DEV review by presenting WPMU DEV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other WordPress products and services, WPMU DEV is hard to describe because it covers a lot of areas. WPMU DEV is like a Swiss army knife for the WordPress community. It\u2019s a platform for managing multiple sites and it includes a few vital plugins. At the same time, you can benefit from excellent hosting services for your sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, WPMU DEV has transformed into a well-known brand that has satisfied a plethora of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hub<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will fall in love with the Hub if you manage multiple websites. It saves you a lot of time by eliminating the back and forth needed to log in to your sites to update the themes, plugins, and WordPress core. The interface is user-friendly, and I can hardly believe that the average WordPress user would need special guidance to use the Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding your site to the Hub is simple\u2014it won\u2019t take more than three minutes per site. You have two options for adding a site to the Hub: enter the site credentials to automate the process, or install the WPMU DEV dashboard plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you add your sites to the Hub, you will undoubtedly save a lot of time and resources. You\u2019ll get a bird\u2019s eye view of each website with just a few clicks. You can update the themes and the plugins or install new ones directly from the WPMU DEV dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security and backup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Security and backups are top concerns for every webmaster, but the Hub relieves you from this stress. Use the WPMU plugins to strengthen your sites\u2019 security and create backups to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance and SEO are two other major concerns, and once again, the Hub impresses its users in these areas. Configure a few award-winning plugins, and you can substantially improve your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides these features, the Hub consistently monitors your sites\u2019 availability, and you can inform customers about your activities via white-label emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The WPMU DEV team developed many plugins in the past, but they changed their business approach a few years ago. They preferred to fully focus on just a few plugins and discontinued updates for the rest of them. Currently, WPMU DEV\u2019s plugins are among the best on the market. Here are a few noteworthy plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smush Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Smush<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smush Pro aims to optimize the images used on your site. It\u2019s a matter of personal taste to describe Smush Pro as the leading plugin for image optimization, but without a doubt, it\u2019s in the top five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images play a prominent role for a website, but the file size impacts the site\u2019s loading speed. The bigger the images, the slower the site loads. Smush Pro successfully fills the gaps by optimizing images. The plugin analyzes each image, applies an algorithm, and reduces the image file size while keeping its quality. It\u2019s crystal clear that such a plugin is mandatory for each and every website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smush Pro is timesaving, too. Just install, activate, and set up the plugin, and it will automatically optimize the uploaded images. Optionally, you can save your site images before Smush Pro optimizes them. That way, you can always access the original images and use them on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hummingbird Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like an image optimization plugin, a performance plugin is mandatory for a successful website. WPMU DEV released the Hummingbird Pro plugin to boost your site performance. It does a lot of things, including<\/p>\n\n\n\n
