Most WordPress themes take very little effort to set up and customize, and for the aspects you need that aren\u2019t in your theme, there are a myriad WordPress plugins. With so many to choose from, it\u2019s helpful to know what other users find helpful, and why.<\/p>\n<h2>Most\u00a0Popular WordPress Plugins<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. Askimet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This anti-spam plugin is included in WordPress installations, so it\u2019s at the top for more than one reason. Downloaded more than 25 million times, the easily integrated tool helps fight spam comments. In its tenth year, and at the top of the list, you can trust that Askimet by Automatic can keep spam on your site to a minimum.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. WordPress SEO by Yoast<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With more than 14 million downloads, Yoast\u2019s SEO platform does a lot of the SEO legwork for you. There are extensions for this plugin, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>News SEO<\/li>\n<li>Video SEO<\/li>\n<li>WordPress SEO Premium<\/li>\n<li>Local SEO<\/li>\n<li>WooCommerce SEO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3.

Not just any contact form: you can have it collect, store and display whatever information your site actually needs to collect \u2013 nothing more, nothing less! Email list, CAPTCHA and CSV export all work well with Contact Form 7, and its versatility and usability have earned it nearly 22 million downloads.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Google XML Sitemaps<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your XML Sitemap allows Google and other search engine spiders to effectively crawl your site. Setting up a custom sitemap like Google XML Sitemaps allows you to tell the search engines which information to index, which to not index, and to give priority to certain aspects of your site.<\/p>\n<p>Having an efficiently crawled site is great for your SEO, because it allows you some control in how search engines see your website.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Jetpack by WordPress.com<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>WordPress.com has its benefits, but having your own self-hosted WordPress.org site definitely has advantages. Take into account that with Jetpack, you can enjoy all of the WordPress.com features that aren\u2019t otherwise available to WordPress.org users.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Wordfence Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wordfence is the most popular advanced security plugin, with nearly 4 million downloads.
