GA4 Plugins That Play Nicely With Consent Mode v2
Consent Mode v2 has been a requirement for advertising and measurement features in the European Economic Area since March 2024, and it is the part of analytics setup most likely to be quietly wrong.

Google Tag Manager Data-Layer Plugins for Developers
A free plugin with several hundred thousand installations does the data collection that $199 dashboard plugins charge for.

Free Google Reviews Plugins That Work Without an API Key
Setting up a Google reviews plugin often stops at the same place: it asks for a Places API key, and getting one means creating a cloud project, enabling an API and attaching a billing account.

Best Free Appointment Booking Plugins
Free booking plugins are more capable than the category’s reputation suggests, and they are unfree in a consistent and predictable way.

Best Salon and Barbershop Booking Plugins
Search for salon booking software and you get directory pages, subscription platforms that take a cut of every booking, and generic plugin roundups that treat a hair appointment as interchangeable with a sales call.

GDPR-Ready Form Builders That Keep Entries on Your Own Server
Every major form builder stores entries in your own database, so the answer to “which one keeps my data on my server” is: all of them. That is not the question worth asking.

Formidable Elite is $239.60, then $599. Fluent Forms sells the same class of licence outright for $279 and never asks again.…
