What is your Must Have Wordpress plugins?

Advertise on BHW
Since you probably got a lot of good plugin ideas here, here is my advice. Use a little plugins as possible. Don't bloat your website with unnecessary plugins. I do use 3 or 4 plugins almost always. Including caching plugins, image optimization, the classic editor, woocommerce (when needed). But I try to avoid plugins. Beside that it adds bloat, they can be a security risk if the plugin wasn't built correct or hasn't been updated in a while.
 
For me it's DIVI for fastest theme building.
WP Rocket for most user friendly optimization.
WP Fastest Cache for caching.
Wordfence for secury.
 
CiviCRM, Jitsi-meet for WP. I use others mentioned, but for overall value added, these have been the ones that give my site the most "Value Added" features out of the box.
 
I am using,
  • classic editor
  • Yoast
  • WP rocket
  • Disable comments
  • Google Captcha
  • WPS Hide Login
  • Akismet
  • Cache Enabler
  • Duplicate page
  • Plugin Organizer
  • Revolution slider
 
Haha here have the lot of plugins suggestions great it's useful for me, but am using yoast and disable comment.

Agreed. I love Elementor, but it's really easy to keep adding Elementor Add-On plugins that really slow your site down.
If you use Elementor as your page builder, try to just use the core Pro plugin and not buy a bunch of ultimate addons, unless there is some amazing functionality that you desperately need.

I'm using Jetpack for it's photon feature only (Image optimized and CDN), all other features disabled. I know that installing Jetpack for that feature only might be too much but TBH I can't find any other plugins to replace it (free, automatically optimize). You guys have any recommendations?

Other plugins I install on every site are:
Cache Enabler
Either Sucuri or Wordfence
Disable XML/RPC
Yoast

To optimize images for free (and a lot of more good features), try Clearfy.

My must have plugins depends on the site but I would say these ones are always:
  • WP Rocket (for now the best caching plugin in my opinion)
  • Yoast Premium (again, for now is the one that works best for me)
  • Clearfy (image optimizations for free and several other interesting features)
 
Some new ones nobody else has listed:

  • BJ Lazy Load
  • Hide Comment Author Link
  • Leverage Browser Caching
  • Merge + Minify + Refresh
  • Open external links in a new window
  • Reduce Bounce Rate
  • Social Warfare
