Essential Plugins

Description

Essential Plugins – I consider these plugins to be essential for all WordPress Sites.

These Essential Plugins can be installed on your existing WordPress site. I add them to each website I build.

LiteSpeed is the best caching plugin to consistently achieve a high speed ranking.

It is difficult to make your site fast for mobile devices.

Litespeed cache does it all.

The free plugin works really well and fast to set up.

WordFence will surprise you with the number of hacking attempts that happen hourly.

Without it- you would not know.

Easy to install and activate. You will block a lot of bots and foos trying to inject your site

Free!

If you want to rank in search- you will need Google Analytics and Google  Search Console To measure and refine your traffic.

This is is best accomplished by the Google Site Kit plugin. This plugin will get the features you need seamlessly.

It also displays search and analytics data right on your site backend.

You need a Google account to connect.

Nearly there! The final must have plugin you have a choice, Yoast, widely acknowledged as the best for years or Rankmath SEO plugins.

If you are comfortable with connecting an API, use Rankmath! I like the granular detail that the analytics furnish, and the Instant Index feature.

Both have free versions.
