You&nbsp;can use them to improve the look and feel of your design or to add new features or functionality. There&#8217;s a WordPress plugin for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Activating&nbsp;a handful of essential plugins is one of the first things I do after I <a href=\"https:\/\/markosaric.com\/how-start-blog\/\">make a blog<\/a>. Over the years, I&#8217;ve tested many plugins and this is my guide to the <strong>best WordPress plugins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mo-plugins-mo-problems\">Mo plugins mo problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A word of warning first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure you only use plugins that are necessary to achieve a better user experience. <strong>Don&#8217;t go overboard installing too many.<\/strong> It&#8217;s a bit of a jungle out there with many bloated, buggy and spammy plugins.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Choose lightweight plugins with well-written code<\/strong> and that do not feature any external scripts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Adding too many plugins <strong>can make your blog heavy and slow to load.<\/strong> Keep your blog simple, light and fast. Keep an eye on your blog&#8217;s speed and performance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Some plugins <strong>can also add security vulnerabilities<\/strong> to your blog. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sucuri.net\/2017\/06\/sql-injection-vulnerability-wp-statistics.html\">It&#8217;s not uncommon<\/a> to hear about thousands of blogs being exposed to different attacks due to a bad plugin.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You could introduce code conflicts between plugins and any custom work you have done on your theme design. <strong>You don&#8217;t want your plugins to break your blog<\/strong> or the latest WordPress update to break your plugins.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If a plugin is not what you expected or you no longer use it, just delete it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"official-directory\">Discover the best WordPress plugins in the official directory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more than 53,000 free WordPress plugins in the official plugin directory. There have been more than a billion and a half plugin downloads in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what differentiates WordPress from all of the other <a href=\"https:\/\/markosaric.com\/best-blog-sites\/\">blogging platforms<\/a>. None of them can compete with this variety of plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every WordPress plugin features&nbsp;a page with the plugin description, number of active installs, the user rating, and last updated date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about a particular&nbsp;plugin&nbsp;you can also view screenshots, FAQ and the reviews. These are some of the signs to look out for to find the best WordPress plugins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>High number of &#8220;<strong>Active Installations<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/li><li>A recent &#8220;<strong>Last Updated<\/strong>&#8221; date.<\/li><li>Five-star <strong>user rating<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Click also on the &#8220;<strong>Reviews<\/strong>&#8221; tab and see what people say.<\/li><li>Click also on the &#8220;<strong>Support<\/strong>&#8221; tab and see what issues users have.<\/li><li>It&#8217;s a good sign if the developer is accessible&nbsp;and answers questions in there.<\/li><li><strong>Compatible<\/strong> with your WordPress blog version.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-a-plugin\">How to install a plugin on your WordPress blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most plugins can be implemented to your blog with little hassle. You don&#8217;t need to know how to code. Just install a plugin, activate it, and job is&nbsp;done. This is how you install a new plugin on your blog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to Plugins in the left-hand navigation of your dashboard and click &#8220;Add New&#8221;.<\/li><li>Find a plugin that you want to try and click on the name.<\/li><li>Then click on the &#8220;Install Now&#8221; button.<\/li><li>When the installation is complete, click on &#8220;Activate&#8221;.<\/li><li>The new plugin is now live.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;you wish to delete a particular plugin, go to the &#8220;Plugins&#8221; section, click on &#8220;Deactivate&#8221;, then click on &#8220;Delete&#8221; to completely remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-accent-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"best\">60+ best WordPress plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of the best WordPress plugins. They are hand-picked by me after a lot of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are actively used by many bloggers, well coded, well-reviewed, regularly updated and help you solve real problems. They are versatile and can be used by personal blogs but also by brands and businesses too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t advise you to activate all of these on your blog. Review the list and see if some of these are relevant to your needs. They are all great and recommended plugins but not all of them are useful for every blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may only need to add a handful of plugins from the list below and have all your needs covered. Now let&#8217;s get started with a list of the best WordPress plugins that you should explore.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jetpack\">The mother of all WordPress plugins: Jetpack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image border-black\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/markosaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/.\/jetpack.jpg\" alt=\"Jetpack\" class=\"wp-image-21485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/markosaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jetpack.jpg 800w, https:\/\/markosaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jetpack-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/markosaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jetpack-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/markosaric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jetpack-30x14.png 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jetpack is an all-in-one plugin that offers many features and is created by the folks that make WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it clean coded, trustworthy and a high-quality plugin.

This includes everything from just having simple &#8220;follow me&#8221; buttons in the sidebar, to the ability for visitors to share your content on their profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of social plugins for WordPress but most are just not good enough. One of the main problems is that they slow down your site due to the many files and scripts they load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main requirements for a social plugin are that it looks beautiful and that it&#8217;s light and quick to load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for social media sharing buttons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your visitors spread the word about your content to their networks. This is a very extensive and flexible plugin that allows you to easily implement social sharing buttons on your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s lightweight too and requires no external scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best alternative is the Jetpack plugin that I introduced above. It has the &#8220;follow&#8221; icons for your sidebar, great &#8220;share&#8221; buttons and can even automatically share your new posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/scriptless-social-sharing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GET SCRIPTLESS SOCIAL SHARING<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for Instagram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re active on Instagram, this plugin is the simplest way of integrating your Instagram profile and the content you post there directly into your blog too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get instagram feed<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best for Pinterest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Displays a Pin It button directly over your images and helps you drive traffic from Pinterest. Perfect for blogs that feature great imagery such as fashion blogs.
