WordPress must have Plugins

I have been using wordpres and creating wordpress sites for customers for over 4 years.  What I love about wordpress is if you need it to do something someone has already made it, most of the time.  As much as I love WordPress there are some things that are needed right off the bat because its just so slow.  Pulling so much form the MySQL Database it just needs some help.  So my first plugin I want to talk about is

WP-Super Cache - Great plugin and very easy to use.  Basically it allows the system to cache the pages on the hard drive so the DB doesn’t have to be called everytime your page loads.  Yes your pages will be dealyed if you update something but trust me as your site gets traffic its a must have.

WP Minify - Another easy plugin just install and activate.  This plugin takes the javascript and combines them so the page loads a single file.  As well it reduces the size of your javascript.  Good program to install.

Now that your WordPress site is getting speed and traffic you need to optimize it for the general public that is searching.

All in One SEO Pack - I don’t even remember how long I have been using this WordPress Plugin. but its a great tool.  Right out of the box just installing it will improve your SEO ability.  If you know a little or a lot it will also help you improve your SEO with optimizing pages and posts

Google XML Sitemap - Now that your pages are optimized the best way to let Google know about your pages is to Create an XML Sitemap.  Sitemaps are impossible to manage manually so its critical to have something that automates things.

Breadcrumb NavXT - This plugin creates a great navigation for people to navigate your site.  It puts below your site menu something like Home > Category 1 > New Page 1 this is also a good idea for SEO.

The last WordPress Plugin I am going to share is

Admin Menu Tree Page View - For sites that have many pages like a site I just got done it makes life easy to manage multiple pages and keep things organized as well to add new pages.

So if you are a wordpress user I suggest checking some of these out.  If you not that experience hit me up at Advanced Internet Managment
