Best 8 plugins for WordPress
WordPress is an amazing tool I use
on so many websites, I would be really at loss without it but what one of the
things that makes it so great is the amount of whelming plugins that are
available. If there is something you want to do in WordPress, there is normally
a plugin to help you do that.
SEO Ultimate - I think this plugin
deserves more recognition than it has gotten so far. I have never seen a plugin
with such a massive array of features, this makes all this platinum SEO and All
In One SEO, also throws into the feature found in SEO Smart Links and a number
of other plugins it is essentially The Swiss knife of WordPress Plugins. Here
are some examples of its additional features: (For adding Google Analytics,
targeting the Adsense section, etc.) Webmaster Verification Wizard, Link Mask
Builder, Robots.txt editor and there is even an option to export Your ultimate
SEO settings to a file so you can import later or use on another blog if you
need, with support for importing post metadata from All In One SEO - and there's
more, it's worth The trouble to check.
W3 Total Cache Plugin - This
plugin, when fully configured, can improve at least 10 times the overall
performance of the site and allow you to save up to 80% bandwidth through
minify and HTTP HTML compression. In the A / B tests, this super plugin
WordPress beats other optimization plugins like WP Super Cache in terms of page
load time, and not only that, but it has the integration of Amazon S3. This
plugin is so good at optimizing performance that it is endorsed by sites such
as mashable.com, smashingmagazine.com and many others.
Cbnet Ping Optimizer - In your
WordPress administration panel, if you click on the Write option on the
Settings tab, you will see at the bottom a section called Update Services, now
whenever you publish a post or Update a WordPress post ping sites In this list.
So if you update a post frequently, some of these services can blacklist your
site, this convenient plugin stops WordPress from pinging these services when
you edit a post, but allows it to ping them when you add the post, removing The
possibility of being blacklisted as a spammer on these services.
TinyMCE Advanced - WordPress uses
the standard version of TinyMCE as its WYSIWYG editor, it is the advanced
version that will add 17 plugins to TinyMCE. These include Advanced HR,
Advanced Image, Advanced Link, Advanced List, Contextual Menu, Emotions, Date
and Time, IESpell, Layer, Embed Media, Nonbreaking, Print, Find and Replace,
Style, Table , Visual Characters, and XHTML Extras.
WPtouch - Once this WordPress
plugin is installed and activated, it will turn your blog into an iPhone
application style theme when it is seen from an iPhone, iPod touch, Android,
Palm Pre, Samsung touch and Blackberry Storm / Torch Mobile devices. With web
browsing via mobile devices, this is an extremely important plugin to use
because it will provide quick and user-friendly navigation from the mentioned
mobile devices and this will not affect your desktop theme anyway. On top of
that, you can customize different aspects of its appearance in the admin panel
and it will also display ads from Google Adsense which is very handy.
Maintenance Mode - This clever
plugin will add a home page to your blog so that visitors will know that your
WordPress blog is down for maintenance, it will also notify the visitor when
the site is accessible. The message is fully customizable and connected
administrators will have full access to the blog, including the front-end.
Broken Link Checker - It can be
quite frustrating for the reader of a page on your blog that has become
absorbed in what article / post it is that they are reading when they try to
click on a link in your page and the site is broken . However, this will always
happen from time to time and can not be avoided, but when you have been
blogging for a while and you have mounted an important archive of posts and
articles, it would be impossible to check them all.
WP-DBManager - The worst thing
that can happen to any blogger is to put your heart and soul into writing great
posts and then simply lose everything, whether it's your web host or something
else. This great WordPress plugin makes it so easy to backup your WP database,
and even optimize and repair it too. It supports scheduling backups and allows
you to download the backup file or send it by email. This plugin is a must have
for anyone who is serious about using WordPress.
