Plugin

A plugin is an add-on that gives WordPress a feature it does not have on its own, like a form or a gallery.

Many sites run 20 to 40 of them. Each adds scripts, styles and often a database table. Each needs updates. Each can break another.

Plugins are where most WordPress security problems live. About 11,000 new plugin vulnerabilities were logged last year across the ecosystem.

A Think Bright page has no plugins. Forms save to ThinkBright's records. Chat, booking and commerce come as widgets on our platform, so there is nothing for you to patch.

Theme

A theme controls how a WordPress site looks: fonts, colors, layout and often a pile of features.

Requests

Requests are the separate files a browser must fetch to show one page.

Honeypot

A honeypot is a hidden form field that traps bots because real people never see it.
