About StyleMyWP
StyleMyWP is an independent WordPress site. Since 2021 we’ve published tutorials, plugin comparisons and product reviews for people who build and run their own sites: bloggers, freelancers, small businesses and agencies.
Our job is simple. Help you pick the right tool, show you what it really costs, and tell you when you don’t need it at all.

Our story
How StyleMyWP started
Lokesh Kapoor started StyleMyWP in August 2021, after five years of building WordPress sites for digital agencies, freelance clients and personal projects such as the tech blog DroidCrunch.
The first guides covered Elementor builds, site speed and choosing a host. Four more writers have joined since, and the site now covers SEO, security, themes, development, content plugins, forms and blogging too.
In 2026 we went back through every guide on the site. We re-checked prices against vendors’ own pricing pages, added renewal costs, and rewrote advice that had aged badly.
We use what we write about. This site runs on the Blocksy theme, Elementor Pro, Rank Math and LiteSpeed Cache.

Editorial policy
How we review WordPress tools
Six rules every guide on StyleMyWP is written and updated against.
We quote the renewal price
Many WordPress products sell year one at a deep discount. We show the year-two price next to the deal, so you can budget for the real cost.
We check prices at the source
Prices come from each vendor’s own pricing page, not from other reviews, and we note when we checked them.
We say how we know
If we’ve run a tool on our own sites, we say so. If we’re going by the vendor’s docs and demos, we say that instead. We never fake a hands-on test.
We tell you who should skip it
Every recommendation comes with the case against it. A good guide should help you rule tools out, not just add them to your cart.
Free first, when free is enough
If a free plugin does the job, we say so, even when a paid one would earn us a commission. This site runs on the free versions of Rank Math and LiteSpeed Cache.
We fix mistakes in the open
When a reader spots an error, we correct it and thank them. Here’s a real example.
A real correction. In May 2023 a reader commented on our LiveCanvas review: we had listed a one-time $139 licence as “$139 per year”. Lokesh replied within two hours, “it was a mistake… Thanks for letting us know,” and the review now lists it as a one-time payment.

Disclosure
How we make money
StyleMyWP is free to read. We earn money through affiliate links: if you buy a product through some of our links, the vendor may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you.
That commission never changes which tool we recommend. Plenty of our picks pay us nothing at all, including the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin this site runs on.
