Customize your <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/whats-permalink-in-wordpress\/\">permalinks<\/a>, decide if you\u2019ll let people to <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/fully-disable-wordpress-comments\/\">discuss your content<\/a> (if they\u2019ll be able to comment), add a <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-contact-form\/\">contact page<\/a>, <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-wordpress-theme\/\">install a WordPress theme<\/a>, create an <a href=\"\/blog\/signs-your-about-page-is-outdated\/\">About Page<\/a>, and depending on the type of the website that you are creating a few more things.<\/p>\n<p>Also, whether you are building a personal blog, business card website, an e-commerce shop, or a portfolio, the plugins that we\u2019ve picked are among the necessary ones.<\/p>\n<p>Before we examine the 5 WordPress Plugins that you need to use, let\u2019s make a little disclaimer.<\/p>\n<p>Every one of these plugins has a lot of plugins that can substitute them. The list is more or less subjective about my personal preferences.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the plugins that I\u2019ve chosen to be on the list are here for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>All of them are easy to tune in to. All of them are taking care of a feature that you absolutely must have on your website or something that if you don\u2019t have, you\u2019ll have a hard time achieving the desired goal. In essence, all of them will help you do something faster, easier, and with greater security than if you try to do it all by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, let\u2019s find out the 6 WordPress plugins, that you need to use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Limit Attempts by BestWebSoft<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Limit-Attempts-Plugin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18955\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Limit-Attempts-Plugin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the security of your website.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is one of the most used CMSs in the world. And as I said in my previous article you have to use a <a href=\"\/blog\/absolutely-must-use-strong-password\/\">strong password<\/a> because as much as it is unfair and bad, there are people that will try to hack your website and obtain control over it. And exactly because WordPress is so popular it is often a target of hacking attacks.<\/p>\n<p>First, I have to say, that the fact hackers are trying to break into WordPress websites, doesn\u2019t make the CMS more vulnerable to these attacks. Just the opposite. These attacks predispose the CMS to become better and stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Much like every time you get ill, your immune system gets stronger. Still, that doesn\u2019t mean you should pay no attention to your health, right? That\u2019s why I highly recommend you install Limit Attempts by BestWebSoft.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows that a WordPress-based website\u2019s admin panel is accessible by adding a \u2018wp-admin\u2019 after <em>www.domainname.com\/<\/em> and while this is so, for yours and my facilitation, it&#8217;s an outright sign for hackers. And it says \u201cAttack here\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are ways to move the \u201centrance\u201d somewhere else or to prevent for it to be accessible from anywhere else than your IP. Yet, doing this could be hard, especially if you are not an experienced user. For now, you can just use the Limit Attempts plugin.<\/p>\n<p>The name of which explains right away what it does. It limits the allowed number of attempts to enter your password. How many times you (or someone else) can try to enter a correct password, depends on you.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, it works like the PIN on your phone. If you make too many unsuccessful attempts to enter a correct PIN, you\u2019ll have to wait too much time to be able to try again.<\/p>\n<p>This is great if hackers are trying to enter your website by using <a href=\"\/blog\/absolutely-must-use-strong-password\/\">brute force<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>UpdraftPlus &#8211; Backup\/Restore<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UpdraftPlus-WordPress-Backup-Plugin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18960\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UpdraftPlus-WordPress-Backup-Plugin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"553\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Continuing the topic of security, a backup is a must, whether you are creating a personal blog or any other type of website.\u00a0Having a backup is as crucial for your website, as it is for your HDD.

As far as I am concerned, there is no better <em>free <\/em>tool for information gathering on user behavior, website, and content performance, than Google Analytics. The amount of information, you\u2019ll be able to access, once you install <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-analytics-wordpress\/\">Google Analytics on your WordPress website<\/a> is just outstanding. And Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsight is as easy as it gets when it comes to Google Analytics setup.
