3. Hi Andy, thanks a lot for this great list. It just has one little flaw: we’re not on there 😉

   We’ve built a 100% free, innovative (!), so-easy-that-my-granny-can-use-it-plugin which allows bloggers to add social & share icons to their blogs, give them counts, add pop-ups and many other features. Please have a look: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-social-media-icons/. Your feedback as expert-reviewer would be highly appreciated – we’ll build it into the plugin!

11. I have looked at several “best wordpress plugins” lists and this one is pretty good because it narrows things down to a few best plugins for every type of functionality.

12. Good article. I think it would be really usefull to focus little bit more on content creating plugins, because in the end the most important for a website is to be attractive for users.
    There is a great solution from h5p.org (https://wordpress.org/plugins/h5p/) to create for free highly cusgtomized and interactive content like interactive vidoes, images, quizzes etc. I really like this plugin because you can create various summaries, images with hotspots and even games with html5.

23. what a huge list with A grade plugins. Thanks for sharing, most of plugins in the list i tried & they are best in their field.

24. Great list, thanks for your work!

    I’d like to suggest adding two more plugins:

    a) Disqus (https://disqus.com) – great comments system with an ability for users to sign in with their social media profiles (Twitter or Google or Facebook). They provide WordPress plugin and help fighting with spam.

    b) Analytics Dashboard (http://codecanyon.net/item/analytics-dashboard/10819439) – plugin which displays all statistics for blog, like posts, comments, likes on Facebook or followers on Twitters.

    • Thanks / You’re Welcome!

      I used to use DISQUS. I liked the service, but I didn’t like being reliant upon their servers as it was a tad harmful from a load time perspective. Plus I didn’t like how little flexibility I had to modify how it renders on my site. Other than those things though, it’s a great service!

      I’ll check out the Analytics Dashboard.

      Thanks,
      Andy
