    What plugins do you recommend for the news site and what theme do you suggest (premium)?

    In my humble opinion, plugins and themes are your last trouble. You have bigger issues to resolve before that if you want to attract audience.

    Your articles are bland and dull to read. The font and artcile composition look like Congress report on impeachment. No emphasized parts, no images, no infographics, no call to action, nothing, just plain, boring text.

    And then further, articles are so generic and useless, sound like an automated bot having a short-circuit.

    I read first two sentences of article "why is my phone battery draining so fast": "Specifically, smartphones are very popular and much better than old regular phones. Smartphones have so many apps and content that ordinary phones didn’t have.". I lost any motivation to read further. I mean, do I need you to tell me difference between smart phone and feature phone that my grandpa still uses?

    Next on the list was article on internet speed, opened by equally useless sentences: "Internet speed is very important for quick and easy use. It is especially important for you if you need to get a job, and then the Internet has slowed you down a lot and therefore causes you big problems.". You discovered hot water, and I had enough of that article, as well as of your entire site, but decided to give it another chance; article on VPN.

    Alas, the same sad story here; internet is abundant in VPN articles, and they usually rely on two things: some diagrams to show how does it work, and list and comparison of most popular free and paid VPNs. Your article lacks both of those components. No-one will read your explanation on how VPN works: for non-tech persons, it is too complicated and full of abbreviations that non-tech person has no clue about; and for tech-person, it is like you try to teach math college student addition and subtraction of numbers from 1 to 100.

    This article also shows that you (or bot, more likely) write it without thinking, just to reach word quota, and you probably don't read it yourself: it contains sentence "If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask us in the comment section below.". However, there is no comment section below, have you noticed it?!...

    If you plan to continue with such an articles, don't bother about plugins and don't waste money to premium themes - you won't need them, your site will have no regular visitors.

    Furthermore, I believe your domain itself is weak; how do you pronounce it, "PR zero news"? I'm not fan of those typo domains, you should have found some pronounceable domain, but well, it might be only me; with good content it will not matter, and also opposite - with this content, no domain will take off.

    I thought it was a news site?
    sounds like a bunch of junk articles

    None of that is "news"

    Exactly, no news; check it yourself. About page says: "pr0news.xyz will publish news on various topics."
