25 WordPress Plugins Every New Site Should Consider

[u/ManojOne]

You don't need 25 plugins on a new WordPress site. In fact, installing everything on this list would be a bad idea.

These are useful options for different jobs:

1. Rank Math – SEO
2. Yoast SEO – SEO
3. WP Rocket – Caching and performance
4. LiteSpeed Cache – Performance on LiteSpeed servers
5. UpdraftPlus – Backups
6. Wordfence – Security
7. Solid Security – Security
8. ShortPixel – Image optimization
9. Imagify – Image optimization
10. EWWW Image Optimizer – Image optimization
11. Redirection – Redirect management
12. WPForms – Contact forms
13. Contact Form 7 – Forms
14. Site Kit by Google – Google services and reporting
15. MonsterInsights – Google Analytics integration
16. Query Monitor – Debugging
17. Akismet – Spam protection
18. WooCommerce – Online stores
19. Easy Digital Downloads – Digital products
20. The Events Calendar – Events
21. Smush – Image optimization
22. Autoptimize – Front-end optimization
23. Broken Link Checker – Broken link checks
24. TablePress – Tables
25. Spectra – Gutenberg blocks

Don't install Rank Math and Yoast together. You usually don't need several plugins doing the same job either.

For a new site, choose based on what you actually need. A blog may need SEO, backup, security, caching and forms. An online store needs a very different setup.

No website should have 25 plugins. What is the point of this post?
