WordPress Plugins

• WordPress SEO Highly recommended SEO plugin by well-regarded expert Yoast. WordPress SEO helps you write better content and fully optimises your WordPress website effortlessly.
• W3 Total Cache A must install plugin in my opinion. The default settings will drastically improve the speed of your WordPress website, which your visitors and Google will appreciate.
• Akismet A free, smart, and unobtrusive spam filter for the comments section of your WordPress website. A must have if you allow comments on your website.
• WordPress Editorial Calendar Schedule your WordPress posts in advance with a handy drag-and-drop calendar interface. Very useful for sites with multiple authors or if you like keeping to a post schedule.
