If I need better conditional forms then Fluent forms.
If I need more dynamic visibility for ACF then one of the dynamic.oo plugins.
Host is [one.com]) – Can’t really recommend any higher for support.
Not really a “stack”, but I see what you mean.
Framework: Hello by Elementor with Elementor
Server: Litespeed Web Server with LSMCD for object caching
Plugins: LSCache plug-in for QUIC CDN and Asset caching and optimisation, ACF Pro, Query Monitor. The SEO framework.
Im a bit new to it all. I see cloudflare mentioned a lot, even more in this thread. What exactly does it do, and is it free?
Been using Gutenberg so far with 2023 theme and 1 project with Astra. SEO framework
Linode
Hestiacp

Theme: custom theme I made using Zurb Foundation for framework with _S as the templates.
Editor: Nova by Panic. I love the built in FTP client. Like an animal, I work right off the server. That way the team, client and everyone can contribute without having a local set up.
Hosting: Cloudways. Love the options to select your server and crate apps.
I’ve been using Elementor lately for smaller sites and really like it. I also have bricks, but the last few projects I had I needed Adobe typekit integration and at the time it didn’t offer it.
-ACF
-Toolset
Lots of custom queries and loops.
I have outgrown Zurb as it has been stagnant for a few years. Looking for a new responsive framework. I just need a framework (columns, grids, etc). I don’t need all the utilities that come with it (colors, font sizes, buttons etc). If anyone has suggestions I am all ears.
Beaver builder, beaver theme, acf pro, gravity forms, SEO framework, WP rocket, wordfence, patchstack, polylang, query monitor, updraftplus. Removed WP migrate pro recently, don’t use it as team is small.

Does cloudflare automatically hosts images via cdn? Or that one needs to be set up?
Full AWS stack. EC2 running nginx and redis for object caching, RDS for seperate dB, fronted by cloudfront and WAF.

Front-end hybrid of hand coding and elementor (1 container per page using 1 HTML widget only) ecomm site doing 100k users month and 5m/ year.
Few woo functionality plugins and seo framework. That’s about the only plugins used.
