What are the most popular WordPress plugins recommended by Scott Kivowitz for photographers?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from ScottWyden.com. How can I help?

Here are the core WordPress plugins I recommend most often for photographers, based on what I use and write about:

• NextGEN Gallery / NextGEN Pro – robust galleries, proofing, and selling photos
• Imagify – image compression for fast-loading photo sites
• Yoast SEO – on-page SEO and sitemaps
• Gravity Forms – powerful contact and booking forms
• MonsterInsights (Google Analytics) – site analytics and conversion tracking
• Wordfence Security – firewall and malware scanning
• Social Warfare – social sharing buttons
• WP Rocket – caching and performance
• WP Business Reviews – testimonials and review displays

Do you want recommendations for a brand‑new site or to improve an existing one?
