Quality WordPress plugins enhance website functionality, performance, and security without requiring extensive coding. They help customize sites to meet specific needs, improving user experience and operational efficiency.

Search Engine Journal contributor Roger Montti has published an article featuring 10 WordPress plugins based on 140k site scans.

He says, “An analysis of 140,000 sites hosted on managed WordPress host Kinsta revealed the WordPress plugins that users judge to be the best for SEO and performance. These findings highlight which plugins publishers value for performance, SEO, and user experience.

This is a list of the most popular plugins for SEO and performance, but it’s notable that Elementor is also highly popular outside that context, with 31% of the sites using it.

10. Schema.org Structured Data – Schema Pro – 1.75%

Adding structured data is critical for SEO and in general for making it clear for search engines and AI what the content is about. Only 1.75% of the 140,000 sites scanned by Kinsta use a standalone Schema plugin. The reason may be that users are satisfied with the structured data functionalities offered by SEO Plugins.”
