Bridge theme developers, Qode Interactive, created several custom plugins (modules) that are included with this theme. They can be found in the theme’s plugins folder. You can access them by downloading a zip file of the theme, extracting the file, and then opening the plugins folder.

Performance
Bridge theme has tons of features, but you might be wondering if its creators focused only on features and not performance?
Page Load Speed: The theme has minimal redirects, uses minified CSS, Javascript and HTML and prioritizes visible content well. Its page load speed is impressive when you consider all of its functionality.
SEO: Bridge theme can help you optimize your content for search engines. You can set meta descriptions and meta keywords for posts and pages. These descriptions and keywords can be overwritten on page and post basis. You can also add Google Analytics by entering your account ID.
Despite the SEO option available, I recommend using a third-party SEO plugin. You can use Yoast SEO, RankMath, SEOPressor Connect, All In One SEO Pack, SEOPress, etc. because they offer far more SEO options.
If you’re going to use a third-party SEO plugin, just make sure to disable the built-in search engine optimization first that the theme provides.
Mobile Responsiveness: With mobile browsing increase, it’s important to have a responsive website. Bridge theme is retina ready and works on all screen sizes. Its page load speed on mobile devices is very similar to that on laptop and desktop computers.
