Back in 2010 I published a list of WordPress plugins that were installed here on the site.
You can see the original WordPress plugin listing with a click on the link but it may not be necessary anymore as this article offers a revised and updated list of plugins run on this site.
This article looks at the WordPress plugins that are installed today here on Ghacks. If you compare this listing with the one from 2010, you will notice that some plugins had to go, and that a lot have been added to the site.
WordPress plugins extend the blog in a similar fashion that Firefox add-ons or Google Chrome extension the browser.
They most of the time add functionality that the default WordPress installation is not offering, and sometimes modify or remove existing features or options.
WordPress Plugin List
As you can see, I have installed many new plugins in the past two years. Let me know if you have questions about a particular plugin, or if you'd like to recommend another plugin.

Ghacks is a technology news blog that was founded in 2005 by Martin Brinkmann. It has since then become one of the most popular tech news sites on the Internet with five authors and regular contributions from freelance writers.
In my opinion, W3 Total Cache is better than Hyper Cache. I like also very much SEO Auto Links & Related Posts, for better related post. Try something for better preformance, like Javascript to footer or others here: http://www.giannip.com/2012/02/i-migliori-plugin-wordpress-per-un.html
And thus the reason for using the great feature of the router to block connection to sites say that include fmpub or kontera.
There is so much discussion about privacy on search engines and major sites; go figure that for most places you visit your privacy is your responsibility :)
Thanks for informing us about PubSubHubbub. Never knew about it. Those RSS scraper sites are a pisser, stealing original content you spent time and energy creating.
It is one of the first plugins that I install on any new blog.
Martin, wrong ink to the contact form I believe
Thanks for the list :)
It is the link that is listed as the plugin’s homepage. Seems it is not available anymore. I have removed the link.
Oh ok thanks
Internal Link Building seems interesting, had never heard about it before.
Well you can use it for all kinds of purposes obviously. I would not advise overdoing it though with the automatic linking.
Martin, I have a few questions:
1-) Why don’t you use W3TC instead of two plugins, one which is kinda of deprecated?
2-) Don’t you use any CDN for your blog?
3-) No Google Analytics plugins? Why?
I recommend the migration to Yoast SEO Plugin, I’ve done it, it is simple and the plugin is way better.
Forgot to ask regarding your ads. I am using the old Adsense Manager 3.2.1.13 and you?
Hi,
1. I had issues with other caching plugins, the ones I use now work better for me
2. No CDN
3. I have installed the code manually
4. I have installed Adsense manually.
hehehe dobre dobre :)
Martin could you please make an article with an updated list of plugins of wordpress? last update is from 2018…
Hi, I cannot unfortunately as I don’t have access to the plugins section anymore on WordPress.
The core plugins are Yoast SEO for SEO, WP Rocket for Caching.
Oh that’s because you are not admin? Kind regards! :)
