On a regular basis we receive requests from WordPress users (e.g. from those who are using our popular MH Magazine WordPress theme) who would like to have some plugin recommendations for various purposes. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to publish a list of recommended plugins and tools for your WordPress website. Keep in mind that this is only a small collection of plugins. There are countless of other plugins out there that you can use on your website.

Important: WordPress plugins are great! However, you should be aware that every plugin you install can potentially cause issues or incompatibilities and may also slow-down your website. Therefore, only install plugins that you really need and avoid adding unnecessary stuff to your website. In addition you can avoid performance issues by choosing reliable hosting for your WordPress website.
