2. A plugin is a software that adds
new or specific functionality to a
program without altering the
program’s code. Add
capabilities whenever you want!
They can also be added or
removed easily—examples
include Adobe flash player and
Microsoft Silverlight.

3. As the word suggests, it
plugs into the existing
framework, such as a
website. The functionality
can be anything – selling
your products or donating to
your crowd funding project.
It is also widely used in
digital audio, video, and Web
browsing.

4. There is a difference
between plugin and
extension, though both these
terms are sometimes used
interchangeably. While
plugins add capabilities to a
particular webpage,
extensions add functionality
to the whole browser and
can change how it works.
The chrome browser has
many handy extensions.

5. WordPress, the most popular content management
system, uses a lot of plugins. It has over 60 0000 plugins
that allow users to add features like podcasting, video or
even e-commerce easily.

6. The most crucial benefit of
using plugins in Content
management system (CMS) is
that even a user with little
technical know-how can avail
of the website features without
the need to edit codes.
Moreover, it does not interfere
with internal customizations.

7. If you are using too many plugins, it can
slow down your website, increase
vulnerability, site crashes, and
compromise the overall performance. It is
advised to keep the number anywhere
around 20.

8. The best way to use plugins is to check if it’s
needed. One can be tempted due to the sheer
number of freely available plugins. A good
practice would be flushing out plugins that are not
needed, routinely. Ensure to update the plugins.

9. Let’s show you how to check the number of plugins on any website
(*chrome browser here). Right-click anywhere on the webpage, click
“Inspect,” click “sources” and click “css”. This will give you a list of plugins
used on the website, as shown here.

10. Adobe Acrobat
HubSpot WordPress
Plugin
WP Rocket
Yoast SEO
Jetpack
These are some of the
best-known plugins to
select from.

11. Summarizing, there are countless plugins out there, and
you should choose the best one depending on size,
speed, and your website’s specific requirements. If you
