WordPress has so many plugins, but the popular lists often mention the same ones like Yoast or UpdraftPlus. I’m curious about lesser-known plugins that are just as amazing. For instance, I really like the Easy Charts plugin. It lets you create responsive and interactive SVG charts. You can paste data from Excel, pick your chart type, and it updates everywhere it’s embedded. Plus, you can download the chart as an image. It only has 4,000+ installs, but it’s actively updated.
Have you found any underrated plugins that deserve more attention? I’d love to hear about them!
Search Meter keeps track of what people search for on your site and whether they’re finding it. It’s handy for clients who want easy-to-understand data.

I usually avoid adding a search box unless it’s a big site like a blog. Do you think it’s worth it?
@Nori
It depends on the site. For smaller sites with limited content, a search box isn’t necessary. But if the site has a lot of pages or will grow over time, it’s helpful. Plugins like Search Meter give insights into what users are searching for—and what they’re not finding. That last part helps you know where to add content.
I like Post 2 Post by Scribu. It’s no longer maintained, but it still works. It lets you link posts to each other in flexible ways—1-to-1, many-to-1, and so on.

I’ve pushed this one to its limits, but it always delivers. The documentation is solid, and it’s super handy.
I like Gutenberg, but it doesn’t have enough blocks for bigger projects. That’s where Getwid comes in. It adds 30+ blocks with unique features. It integrates well with other plugins and doesn’t slow things down.
