Thanks for the advice. Yeah, the plugin situation is something I'm trying to get on top of. One of the reasons I feel the site was shoddily built is that it came with two dozen (active and inactive) plugins, half of which are seemingly configured incorrectly. I've got rid of the inactive plugins, but I still need to look into the active plugins and get rid of the unnecessary ones. Caching is something I've been wanting to look into too. Don't know if I'll go the CDN route right away, but I'll keep it in mind. Looked at WP Engine pricing and they seem pretty expensive (the company wants to replace a few more of their outdated sites with WP, so I think that would put us in the €110/mo tier). It's a small company and their websites aren't heavily patronized, so performance isn't really critical. The main consideration is not getting pwned.
