What You Can Skip
Not every add-on or feature is necessary for a simple portfolio website.
Skip Extra Backups
If your portfolio doesn’t change often, standard backups are more than enough.
Skip Premium SEO Tools
The built-in basic SEO tools already support creative portfolios well.
Skip CDN If Your Audience Is Local
If your clients come from one region, a CDN won’t make much difference.
