Title: Install WordPress Plugins
Post by: Rokeya on October 25, 2018, 10:08:46 PM
Plugins are third-party appendages that add additional functionality to your blog. It's best to keep your number of plugins to a minimum and install only the best plugins. (Too many plugins, as well as unreliable plugins, can slow down your site.) We use only a few plugins at The Minimalists (below).

In your WordPress dashboard navigate to Plugins > Add New and search for, install, and activate the following free plugins one by one:

Yoast SEO is the defacto standard SEO plugin for WordPress. For details and everything you'd ever want to know about WordPress SEO read Yoast's Definitive SEO Guide.
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights allows you to track your blog's traffic easily and with lots of interesting data: overall traffic, traffic sources, views per author & category, automatic tracking of outbound clicks and pageviews.
Jetpack by WordPress.com is a WordPress plugin that supercharges your self-hosted WordPress site with the awesome cloud power of WordPress.com.
Finally, so people can receive our blog posts via email, we established a free Feedburner account. Constant Contact is another great email-subscription option. (By the way, if you don't already subscribe to The Minimalists via email, you can here.)
