Wow, like others have said, there are many plugins here I hadn’t seen before! I’ve seen several sites run handily off wordpress as a CMS, but some of these plugins really seem to legitimize it.

thanks!

Reading the intro to this most may have cleared up any confusion you may be having. Sorry if you expected something else when you came to the post and I’m glad that WordPress does everything you want it to do without any additional plugins.

WordPress IS CMS, and need exactly 0 plugins if turning it into CMS is goal. Many of these plugins are useful, but they don’t need to turn WordPress into something that WP already is.

That’s a cool thought. I’m going to have to look into that a bit more. I know a couple sites that could benefit from this.

PHP Accelerators can do wonders in speeding up word press blogs. Depending on your hosting situation that might not be an option but I run Xcache on my VPS and it improved my page load times by a substantial margin.

Great addition to the list.

Yoast has some great plugins in general worth checking out.

Fact.

Be selective and only choose the ones that enhance WordPress performance or provide actual value on the front end. It’s a delicate balance of functionality and usability.

Nice list Jon! Would love to add ‘Yoast Breadcrumbs’ on ‘Navigation + SEO’ category. The plugin does help a lot in terms of visitors’ navigation on our site and it’s also SEO-wise. Here’s the link :

Great list… I have heard people say to many plugins will slow down your site. Do you know if this is fact or myth?
