Scenario: Say I am writing an article about the 10 best coffee shops in New York City

I write 10 different articles about those 10 shops and want to group that in a single post by displaying a thumbnail like size linking to those separate pages.

So when you land on the page, you will see a short description and 10 thumbnails like buttons to 10 shops.

Would like to know which WordPress plugin would be useful

Use 10 different small images, maybe even images of different buttons, then link to your different pages using html. This is a simple solution that does the job with the least hassle. It is also really quick.

Don't use a plugin. Plugins will slow down your site, can be a security risk and may not be updated in the future.

Thank you. I do agree with that. Lots of plugins will slow the site.

More important than slowing the site down, is that plugins are a common entry point to hack your site. There are numerous open source programs, available to anyone that can be used to target Wordpress. Wordpress vulnerabilities, and there is even a huge database of them, are numerous. Protect the integrity of your site first, with methods such as 2FA. And minimize your plugins to reduce your risk.
