Must-have WordPress plugins
My list of recommended must-have WordPress plugins. I have these plugins installed across all of my blogs and WordPress instances, no doubt about it.
- Google Analyticator puts Google Analytics tracking information on your WordPress site to track clicks, search keywords, time on site, etc. You need a Google Analytics account for this.
- Google Sitemap Generator generates an XML sitemap to help boost search engine traffic
- WordPress Database Backup backs up your MySQL database to server and email
- WordPress Backup backs up your theme, plugins and uploads to server and email
- Lightbox 2 to elegantly display images
- WP Contact Form to embed a contact form into your blog
- Wordbook to automatically cross-post blog entries to your Facebook profile
- …and of course Akismet, which comes with WordPress by default, to fight spam comments
