WordPress today is supported by thousands of plugins which add value to the website you are creating according to your business. In this article, I will list the Must Have WordPress plugins for business websites.

WordPress plugins have various purposes including extending functionality, securing, backing up a website, SEO optimization,…, etc. So, I will list the top must-have plugins for business websites

Why add plugins?

WordPress is an online, open-source website creation tool written in PHP. It is made for all kinds of websites including Business websites,

eCommerce stores, Blogs, Portfolios, Resumes, Forums, Social networks, Membership sites, …, and pretty much more.

In order to turn the WordPress site to the kind you want, you have to use plugins to extend its functionality. Additionally, you have to add

plugins which allow you to customize the admin area and add more security with backup and restore functionality.
