Thanks to the sheer size of the WordPress developer community, there are literally tens of thousands of free WordPress plugins available for download.\u00a0However,\u00a0not all of them can be trusted.\u00a0Choosing free WordPress plugins? By inadvertently deploying just one poorly made\u00a0plugin, you risk razing your web\u00a0property to the ground.<\/p>\n

A lousy plugin can damage your website in a variety of ways. It can pollute the WordPress user experience by complicating the interface, and compromise the experience of your visitors by slowing down your website. Even more alarmingly, some plugins can create security risks, giving hackers a backdoor into your website.<\/p>\n

To bypass those threats and safeguard your website, you need to thoroughly vet each plugin before installation<\/a>. With that in mind, in this post we’ll\u00a0guide you through the five key things that you should look out for when choosing free WordPress plugins:<\/p>\n

1. Choosing free WordPress plugins by average ratings<\/h2>\n

The easiest and most obvious thing to do when choosing free WordPress plugins is to investigate the plugin by checking out the average user rating.\u00a0These ratings are clearly shown on every plugin page within the WordPress plugin repository<\/a>, under the Description<\/em> tab:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

Users can give the plugin between one and five stars. We recommend staying away from plugins that don’t have an average of at least four (or almost four) stars. Anything lower than that can be\u00a0potentially dangerous territory.<\/p>\n

That said, it’s worth noting that many users take a binary approach to these ratings by selecting either all five stars, or just one. This naturally skews the average. Sitting on the fence, it seems, is not the way of the WordPress user, especially when choosing free WordPress plugins.<\/p>\n

2. User reviews<\/h2>\n

User reviews give star ratings some much needed context. It is not uncommon for there to be\u00a0too many varied reviews to make sense of them all. Instead of reading every single one of them, we recommend reading a handful of the most recent highest and lowest review ratings. This will give you a taste of the plugin before deciding whether or not to move forward with installation.<\/p>\n

Reviews can be found on the (you guessed it)\u00a0Reviews<\/em> tab, located just below the Download<\/em> button:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

While reading each review, watch out for common grievances, as they will often reveal\u00a0the weakest areas of the plugin. For example, if multiple reviewers mention that their website is significantly slower post installation, you would do well to avoid that particular plugin.<\/p>\n

Naturally, if there are more negative comments than positive ones, you should consider that\u00a0a red flag, too.<\/p>\n

3. Active installations<\/h2>\n

As a rule of thumb, the higher a plugin’s\u00a0number of active installations, the more it\u00a0is trusted by the community. Not to mention that if a plugin is installed on a large\u00a0number of WordPress websites, it’s likely doing a fair job.<\/p>\n

WordPress.org once again makes this an easy thing to check. All WordPress plugins on the WordPress.org plugin repository display the number of active installations on the Description<\/em> tab:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

Due to there being safety in numbers, we don’t typically recommend choosing free WordPress plugins that have less that 1,000 active installations. However, you should take that advice with a pinch of salt. After all, new plugins have to start from somewhere, and you may also find that some lesser used plugins are perfectly sound.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Updates and compatibility<\/h2>\n

When a plugin isn’t regularly updated by its developer, it’s less likely to be secure. Furthermore, plugins should ideally be updated in line with WordPress’ major updates<\/a>, to ensure\u00a0compatibility. The consistency and regularity of updates is\u00a0also a good way to gauge the plugin developer’s level of active involvement.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the WordPress plugin repository shows exactly when a plugin was last updated, under the Description<\/em> tab:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it provides a log of all previous updates under the Changelog<\/em> tab, so you can see exactly what the developer has been up to since the plugin’s initial release:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

In relation to checking the frequency of the plugin’s updates, it’s also wise to check the compatibility of the plugin with your version of WordPress before installing anything.<\/p>\n

Under the Description<\/em> tab once again, you will see which versions of WordPress can run the plugin:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

We strongly advise you to pay close attention to the issue of compatibility, as plugins that are not compatible with your version of WordPress may stop existing plugins from functioning. In the worst case scenario, they can even crash your entire website.<\/p>\n

To easily check which version of WordPress you are currently running, simply head over to the Dashboard<\/em> section on your WordPress back end. Once there, scroll to the bottom of the page (in the bottom right corner):<\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/p>\n

5. Support and documentation<\/h2>\n

All plugins on the WordPress plugin repository have a support forum<\/a> located within the Support<\/em> tab:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

If you can spot regular activity within those forums, it’s a good sign that the developer is actively working to solve user issues. If it’s derelict, take it as a warning sign.<\/p>\n

With that being said, developers may handle plugin support externally. This is because many of them aren’t fans of the WordPress.org support system. Therefore, you may want to check\u00a0out their website for further support options.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you should check to see what kind of documentation the developer offers. The FAQ<\/em>\u00a0tab is a good place to start your search:<\/p>\n

\"Viewing<\/p>\n

If you can’t find any regularly tended support forums, or at least some sort of documentation, you should proceed with caution, because if things go wrong, you’re on your own.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Third-party plugins are a huge part of what makes WordPress such an excellent CMS, but that doesn’t mean you should trust every plugin on the market. Exposing your website to badly built plugins can be devastating to its speed, security, and general usability \u2013 vigilance is recommended.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
