Conclusion

If WordPress is the body then there are no wrong saying plugins as the arms and leg of the body. Without these plugins, you can really feel hopeless sometimes. Believe me, I have felt quite a number of times when I first started using WordPress. Until I came to know about these lifesaver plugins. 

This list is totally based on my opinion. It’s up to the user who decides which plugin will be useful. In my case, I really think that the image optimization plugin is the best. Because I have an image-based website. 

Where on the other hand user switching can someone’s favorite because of their multiple accounts.
