I was amazed and trust me, you’ll be too when you get to know that there are more or less 53 thousand plugins in WordPress so far. Being an open source platform, I think it's quite normal for it to have a high number of plugins but 44000, that's like an Amazon rainforest except for rain, obviously. But based on the authenticity and their utility, we can narrow down the flabbergasted amount of plugins to few of tens depending upon their features.

 

What are plugins?

 

Wordpress is a platform to create your website, blog or an online store. By default, WordPress does its own way with all of these websites but there are independent apps that you can use to modify your website just like apps in the app store or play store which helps to make your phone more sophisticated. If you have a website in WordPress and one day you realize that you should upgrade it to an online store, then these plugins come handy. This is just an example of thousands. Here I present you, based on the tech-savvy guys around the world and the popularity among entrepreneurs,  the best WordPress plugins for 2018 categorically:

 

• Plugins for Search engine Optimization
• Plugins for e-commerce
• Plugins for security of your website
• Plugins for analytics
• Plugins for contact and forms builder
• Plugins for social sites sharing
