The 13 WordPress Plugins For 2013

I have written on plugins before, and the funny thing is, I really am uber sensitive to using plugins sparingly, as this is an easy way to "break" your site or provide a gateway to hackers. On the other hand, a solid plugin can really be a time saver and performance enhancer, so a site that is totally Plugin free may be unrealistic (or boring).

To help me with this post I reached out to my gang of professionals at Expand2Web (+1 extra friend) to get their suggestions. Here is the best of what I culled through. As we all know, the plugin waters run brisk and deep, so I am sure that I am missing some really cool stuff, please, take a moment and share your must haves in the comments!

From Thomas, developer of the SmallBiz theme:

  • Google XML Sitemap Plugin

    The Yoast WordPress SEO plugin is a must, but I would add Social Metrics so you can internally track each posts social activity.
