Plug-ins are basically tools to expand the functionality of the Wordpress website. Each user can tailor the site to their specific needs with the help of custom functions and features that plug-ins offer.

1. Significance of choosing Plug-ins for
the WordPress site
Things to consider

2. Plug-ins can be easily added from the Wordpress
admin interface.
Points to consider when choosing a Wordpress
plug-in:

3. Do you really need it?
It’s good to maintain the number of plug-ins
installed to minimum, as they can bloat the
website and slow it down. While there’s no
recommended limit for the number of plug-ins
to be installed on the website, it is not
advisable to do so. Some plug-ins can even
clash with the theme and other installed plug-
ins and cause a lot of hassle. Only essential
plug-ins should be downloaded.

4. How recently has the plug-in been updated?
This facilitates to recognize whether the plug-in is
still actively being developed or not. It is not
advisable to download plug-ins that has not been
updated s for months. Such plug-ins are more
than likely to conflict with newer versions of
Wordpress or be vulnerable to attacks.

5. Have a look at the number of downloads.
It is obvious that something very specific will
have fewer downloads than the generic ones.
But as a thumb rule, the more downloads you
see, the better the plug-in is said to be.

6. What’s the support availability like?
One might need less support for the plug-in than the
theme; however, it’s still nice to know that the
support is available, whenever needed. It is
definitely something to consider, whether the
developer has a separate forum or ticketing system
set up for that particular plug-in – and the number
of queries solved in the last 12 months.

7. Is the plug-in likely to slow down the website?
The only way to find this out will be to install it
and see. But the plug-ins that are pulling in
content from the external sources (e.g.
Facebook, Twitter widgets, etc.) can increase the
page load time significantly. It’s good to examine
the plug-in before using it.

8. Will it fit with the rest of the blog?
Before choosing a plug-in it is beneficial to know
if it’s going to fit with the rest of the blog. Make a
list of things that a certain blog would be
needing and decide to install a plug-in on the
same basis, also see how is it going to affect the
visitors.
