Tips for extension installation

1. Test on staging first - Never directly on production
2. Make a backup - Before every installation
3. Check conflicts - Some extensions don't work together
4. Monitor performance - Measure before and after installation
5. Track what you install - Document your extensions

What to AVOID

Avoid extensions that:

• Haven't been updated for over a year
• Have few or bad reviews
• Come from unknown developers
• Try to do too much at once
