Things to Consider Before Instaling Magento2 Extensions

 

The quality of Magento 2 extensions depends on the work you put into it. Before installing any extension and introducing them in the market check it is up to the mark. While many professionals understand it, they create excellent extensions. Not everyone in the industry understands it, some junk extensions hamper the industry's name. 

 What’s the best way to check code?

It is recommended to install  Magento 2 extensions manually instead of using Magento connect manager or marketplace to install it in a live environment. Installing manually will help you to detect codes of newly created extensions before introducing them to the market. Yes, it takes time but checking everything before introducing it to the market for usage is the best step for healthy Magento stores. 

Good extensions from reputed providers are worth investing in. The quality extensions can save hours for store owners to add extra functionality to their stores. There may be issues caused by using too many extensions. 

This raises the question - How many extensions are enough to invest in?

There is a large number of extensions to help your store, but after the number increases, it stops being helpful and starts to cause more problems. One poorly coded extension may start causing problems for too many extensions. The best part is you can use as many extensions as you need if followed some steps carefully.

How can you know whether an extension code is good?

When reviewing extensions, I think it’s important to review with quality in mind, but at the same time have realistic expectations. You’re looking for solid code which is free from obvious red flags, rather than gold standard coding where every line of code is best practice from the current year.

When reviewing the extensions, think about the quality, but at the same time have realistic expectations. You want to create a solid code that is bug-free instead of standard coding, where every line of code sticks to best practices.
