Nice One!

I would say it's totally up to some people for example which plugins to install, but you seems included way too much for starter, for example updraft plugin not always needed really. OR or wordfence, all else depending on the case probably good

Those are really cool for a beginner, it would be more than enough to learn how Wordpress is working and to build a good site on your own. But what about Pro users of Wordpress, who already knows how it works and what plugins they need to use. I think I have a perfect option for oldies. As far as I know, for a great looking and working site, you need to have a possibility to access some premium plugins which will help you to integrate in your project a lot of useful things. So to say, I've read a lot about Wordpress plugins and I found out that it's much better to gain WooGang Membership, that's how you will gain unlimited access to a big and large amounts of premium WordPress plugins, as well as all the updates and original files. So if you are looking for some high quality content for your web project you should have this membership, it will help you a lot
