How to add plugins?
-
I was interested in adding a caching plugin to make my site load faster but I don’t see a way to add a plugin. Is that possible in a free site or only with the paid one?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Sorry… but we cannot upload custom plugins on WordPress.COM regardless of whether we are on a paid or free plan. We can only use the built-in plugins that come with WordPress.COM.Check the list of built-in plugins for the plugin you might be looking for:

As it is written here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugin-requests.
The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.
If you wish to have greater control over your site, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.
Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
https://move.wordpress.com/You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.
Hope this helps 🙂

However, i suppose WordPress.COM sites already uses cache in background to provide a richer and faster experience on all WordPress.COM sites.
