In the first part of the article I have criticized that more and more WordPress plugins put on paid models, more specifically on subscriptions. This increases the costs for bloggers permanently and sometimes enormously, especially if more than just a plug-in of this kind is in use. The fees are rising fast and WordPress is fast becoming really expensive.
With all the criticism, I would therefore like to simply reward the free plugins, those that are actively developed without much merit and make their job simply outstanding. My free favorite plugin at the moment, if you like.
Incidentally, this is not about minimal features, but I’ve tried to pick out a few very important extensions that cover, among other things, areas for which many premium plugins require money. Simply as a free, long-lasting alternative. I already had all the plugins in use, but that should be taken for granted. Here we go!
Cache Enabler
The Cache Enabler is actually based on the once very clever, but now somewhat forgotten Cachify. All that is missing in Cachify is provided by the Cache Enabler and in general he is doing a great job, especially with the latest update.
Caching as simple and efficient as possible, and completely free. In addition, the WordPress plugin is developed by Key CDN, so it has a lot of know-how and experience, as well as excellent support behind the extension.
For a free Plugin is the Tip and Therefore I can Only Recommend it to Anyone.
EWWW Image Optimizer
Here I must be honest, because as an image optimizer for WordPress I use even the available Optimus Optimus. In selbiges but the subscription is justified, as I think, finally, incurred by the transfer of images synonymous running costs.
If you are looking for a free alternative that works on your own server, then you are well advised with the EWWW Image Optimizer . Widely used, very comprehensive and constantly supplied with updates, the plugin provides a simple way to optimize uploaded images. However, just on your own server and that requires a little power.
Statify
Many bloggers do not need complicated statistics, they are only interested in the views and which pages on their blog are particularly popular. It’s much easier with Statify than with any other Analytics solution.
Quickly installed, the minimum statistics will now appear in the WordPress Dashboard, and will always be visible there. I like that very much and to be honest, that’s enough for me. In the end you should not look too much at statistics anyway, but do something that gives you pleasure. Also because the same thing quickly degenerates.
My recommendations for Blogger ADVERTISING
Make money with back links
Search engine optimization with high quality back links or earn money through back link rental.
WordPress hosting you can count on.
Specialized WordPress hosting, fast loading times, free SSL, automatic updates and more
WP Advanced Ads – Flexible Banner Plugin for WordPress
For example, I myself tend to rely too much on numbers, just to work for them and then completely forget the users and real people who visit my blog. You really have to be careful not to blind yourself to reality, because statistics are always statistics.
Lazy Load for Videos
Performance, I love good performance. Unfortunately, this is often not possible with Youtube Embeds, because Google sends signals directly home and makes all sorts of requests. Annoying, for privacy reasons, perhaps also discreetly questionable, but above all simply slow.
Lazy Load for Videos works by blending in the thumbnail and reloading the actual video when clicking on it. So the site builds up faster, You tube blocks nothing and everyone is satisfied.
Ninja Firewall
security has almost become a new trend, but security often costs a lot of money. Ninja Firewall is quite useful in the free version, but even the paid is even cheaper than the many alternatives.
By the way, the provider also offers a hack-remove service, should something really happen. I like the extension because it’s comparatively simple and gives beginners the chance to get a little more security, even without money.
Those Were Free Favorite Plugins And What Are Yours?
WordPress is great, much is not free anymore, the beads are hard to find. It’s a bit like the gold diggers who are removing so much of the earth and seldom discovering a real, beautiful big nugget. Which means: No matter how well you know about WordPress, no matter how much you search and search, there are always insider tips.
In the end, I want to get to know your plugin recommendations. But it is NOT about paid extensions. Instead, tell me in the comments which free plugins you use and really recommend. Gladly those who add more than small standards. I’m looking forward to your tips.
