When you create a WordPress entry, you need to submit your content more organized than paragraphs and lists. When you use a lot of structured information, it’s better to present it in a more visually convenient table format.

Tables are effective for demonstrating various types of different information: timetables, competition results, comparative characteristics. When readers view the post, they stop at the table and try to understand the main idea. Tables are not native to WordPress, but this article will show the best WordPress plugins, both free and premium.
