Essential WordPress Plugins

Don’t skimp on these

If you have a WordPress site, you’ve undoubtedly heard of them: Plugins. Lots of them. Constantly in need of updating. And they’re everywhere.

Do you really need them? Yes, you do.

WordPress Plugins are not mere add-ons but building blocks that can transform a basic website into a sophisticated, functional digital platform, boosting a site’s performance and improving its SEO.

But choosing the right one can be overwhelming.

As of this writing, there are more than 58,000 plugins in the WordPress store. By the time you finish reading this, there will be more.

I’ve curated a list of highly recommended and efficient WordPress plugins that I have used (and still use) for myself and my clients. These are not fads or fleeting trends but solid building blocks that have been continuously updated and adjusted over the years. Some are free, and some are paid
(I am not affiliated with any of them).

These are just starting points: The best plugin combination depends on your specific website goals and needs.
