2. Elementor

This is my personal favorite plugin. Have no coding or web design skills, don't worry, this plugin has got you covered.

This is a front end drag and drop page builder plugin. With just drag and drop you can design attractive landing pages, they also have a bunch of templates to simplify the process for you.

This tool is more than enough for a blogger who wants to do it all alone and cannot afford the hefty prices of web developers.

You can join their Facebook Group & resolve the query in real-time.

3. Wordfence

Wordfence plugin is very important for WordPress websites. It is basically a website security plugin, it prevents the malicious attacks to your website & protects the firewall.

You can routinely run scans to detect threats & mitigate the risks your website faces.

4. Google Analytics Dashboard

Google Analytics Dashboard by Exact Metrics is a free plugin for your WordPress website. Using this plugin you get a dashboard on your WordPress dashboard.

Google Analytics Dashboard will reflect the overview of the website traffic behavior. You can segregate the flow of data by filtering the data by time & other facets.

It would be tedious to go all the way to analytics.google.com every time you have to take a look at the analytics.

5. Akismet

This is a comment moderation plugin by WordPress comes with it as soon as you get started with the website.

Essentially this plugin moderates every comment your blog receives. In the industry of Digital Marketing, we understand the phishy activities people do to gain backlinks.

One of those activities is to place irrelevant comments on other's blog post with their website URL. Which devalues your blog post altogether.

Thanks to Akismet plugin, it spams & holds these comments for you to review and publish.
