It should come as no surprise that I absolutely love WordPress. When I began my blog years ago, I started on Blogger. That experience lasted all of a month before I made the switch to WordPress and never looked back. Whether you are a seasoned user or a newbie, working with WordPress makes everything better.
I am often asked about must-have plugins. So for the many who have asked and for the many to come, here are what I consider to be the Top 5 WordPress Plugins!
Top 5 WordPress Plugins
Akismet – Spam happens. However, it shouldn’t end up overwhelming your day. Akismet helps filter your comments for spam. While filtering spam 100% is near impossible, Akismet gets pretty close!
WP Total Cache – Speed matters. This very fast caching plugin will help your website be at its best. Saving you a lot of headaches in the long run.
Yoast SEO – Write better content and optimize your site. You will never look at writing a post the same again after using this awesome plugin!
Contact Form 7 – Super easy contact form setup. You could almost do this in your sleep!
Simple Social Icons – Social profiles matter. This plugin is ridiculously easy to setup with size, colour and alignment options!
