One of the main reasons I love WordPress as a content management system and blogging platform is the availability of free plug-ins. While WordPress is an awesome platform to manage a web site right out of the box, plug-ins enhance user experience and site performance. Some plug-ins are even designed to help secure your WordPress application from hackers.
However, with so many plug-ins available, which are the best ones for your site? That will of course depend on your specific goals and application. WPTemplate attempts to remove some of the complexity of which plug-ins to run by featuring the top 30 WordPress plug-ins by popularity in the following infographic. The infographic has a few grammar errors but I think you’ll still find it useful when deciding which plug-ins to incorporate in your WordPress installation. Besides this great list, also be sure to check out our own WordPress plug-in – the Embed Code Generator.
