WordPress has lots of plugins and theme already and there are lot of new ones being made day in and day night. In all this, it can be hard to keep up with the latest developments on WordPress. You might miss a new plugin that can increase search traffic by 50% or a new theme that outshines every theme on market.

So, what is the solution? Checking out every WordPress blog and website out there regularly?

That is a possible solution but you just can’t do that. So, in this quick article, I will tell you about the 5 sites that you need to follow or check regularly.
