million downloads since 2007. The best plugin for any WordPress Developer. Makes
it easy for you to change the Home and Description titles. You are also able to

I personally love this plugin out of all
the plugins, I have used this plugin on all my websites. It’s free, easy to
use, and very clean.
#2 WPForms

form plugin. Use our Drag & Drop form builder to create your WordPress
forms. Easiest contact form to use. The user can send messages to your email through
the contact form. The admin can change the settings of who the email is being
sent to and they are also able to change the contact forms information.
This is my favorite contact form. It’s
simple and easy to use, watched one video and figured out the rest within
minutes.
#3 Updraft Plus
Backup and restore: take backups
locally, or backup to Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace, (S)FTP,
WebDAV & email, on automatic schedules. Best backup and restoration plugin
in WordPress. You can connect it to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and more.
The connection will deliver files that are being restored or backup. You can go
back to previous versions of your own website and change whatever mistakes you
made.
This has helped me throughout all my websites,
I have made some mistakes and the backup helped me revert those mistakes.
#4 Google XML Sitemaps
This plugin improves SEO
using sitemaps for best indexation by search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo
and others. Your website keywords will be indexed and shown through a google
search.
Very useful in my opinion if you want your
website to become more visible.
#5 Youtube Widget Responsive
Widgets responsive
and shorcode to embed youtube in your sidebar or in your content, with all
available options. Best video widget for youtube. In the video widget there is
a problem where your video will overlap other text or images next to it if you
resize your page. The Youtube Widget Responsive will stay in the same position
if you resize the web page.
On my website wordpresstrainingkissimmee.com
I had a video issue that it would change sizes if I resize the page, it would
sometimes overlap my text and images. Adding the Youtube Widget Responsive
saved my life and was able to stay in the same position no matter what.

WordPress security. iThemes Security offers 30+ ways to lock down WordPress in
an easy-to-use WordPress security plugin. The best security plugin for
WordPress. It can allow you to ban users, detect file changes, and allow users
to request permission to files. Another great feature is backing up your

#8 WP Super Cache
A very fast caching engine for
WordPress that produces static html files. Users who haven’t blogged,
commented, or logged in will be delivered static html files. About 99% of your
users will be served static html files.
Only use this in case of emergencies, it can
potentially cause strange CSS errors to your website. Useful if you have lots
of traffic in your website.
#9 Facebook Widget
This widget adds a Simple
Facebook Page Like Widget into your WordPress website sidebar within few
minutes. This is great if you have a facebook account or for any facebook user
in general. Liking something on facebook is a very common thing people do.
I personally liking whatever is coming up or
something that is featured. Great for people who enjoy liking upcoming events
or great moments.
