Hey!

What Are Your Top 3 Essential WP Plugins?

Currently looking to see if I'm missing anything :)

My Top 3:
- Rank Math Pro
- Site Kit by Google (just makes everything easier)
- Application Passwords

As you can probably see from this list, I am a WP noob, and I am probably missing out on something :P
 
Well, i can't say 3 but here 4 since they are the main pillars on majority of my WP sites

WordFence
LiteSpeed Cache or WPRocket (some of mine has LSC other has rocket)
UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore
The SEO Framework
This is my setup too except, I use rocket. I tried rank math and ima be honest, I hated it. I started swapping all my sites to SEO framework (what a fucking chore btw).

I can assure you that Chore was worth it for now anyways
interesting to see where they head off to, sadly not all plugins stays amazing.
 
Genuinely interested, why Framework > Math?
I have not tested math enough to give you a detailed proper answer, in the past, my go-to was Yoast
@leechesBleechin could give you a better answer in why he dislikes it
But what i can say is, all the "features" they provide is a turn off. You don't need all of that.
Unused features are excess baggage at the end of the day.

The interface is crap and it's just too much. I don't need 99% of the features that are offered, all it does is bog shit down and make the interface terrible.
do they have importer? rank math to seo framework?
Yeah, they use a 3rd party. I don't think its compatible with rank math yet though. I just yanked the damn thing out and patched everything up the best I could, so far so good :P
 
Top 3 Plugins for my recipe website.
1. Elementor WordPress Page builder
2. WP Recipe Maker
3. Tidio Live chat
 
Hmmmm top 3.. definitely the following are absolutely for any website:
wp rocket
wordfence
divi or elementor
 
Login lockdown (to prevent bruteforcing that occurs once your site is popular)
Wordfence (substitute for above) or Bulletproof
Classic WP editor (because the new editor babyproofs too much)
Askimet to block spam (because scrapebox and GSA is relentless)
 
Below 3 wp plugin is must in all my site...
Code guard
Yoast SEO
Optimole
 
WordPress plugins are applications that aid to add new features and functionalities to websites, in exactly the same fashion as applications do for a smartphone. Top 3 essential WP plugins are given below:

WPForms: Every website needs a contact form because it makes it easy for your visitors to get in touch with you. WPForms is the most user-friendly contact form plugin for WordPress.

MonsterInsights: MonsterInsights is the best Google Analytics plugin for WordPress. It allows you to “properly” connect your website with Google Analytics, so you can see exactly how people find and use your website.

Yoast SEO: Yoast SEO is reputed as the one among the leading WordPress SEO plugins. It aids you to generate sitemaps, add Meta tags, optimize your site for social media, connect your site to Google Search Console, and more. With the following features, it offers a comprehensive solution to enhance your on-page SEO:
 
WordFence Security, Classic WP editor, WP-DBManager and some caching plugin (the one you like). Everything else is optional.
