Recently I needed something I thought was rather simple - limiting a Contact Form 7 textarea field to X amount of words. CF7 allows you to specify a character limit, but not a word limit. I've searched for another Wordpress plugin to add in this functionality, but the only plugin I've come across is outdated and doesn't work. I decided to create my own plugin to add in this functionality, and I figured I would share it with you!

Wordpress is a great CMS that is simple to set up, and it's easy for non-tech users to make changes to their website content.  As a web developer, I work with Wordpress a lot.  I've noticed that on a majority of the Wordpress websites I create, I find myself using the same plugins over and over.  I find that these plugins are extremely useful and I thought I would share them with you! Just note that these aren't in any particular order.

The speed of your website is very important.  Even a minor difference in page speed (either a second or two faster OR slower) dramatically changes whether a user will stay on your website.
