How many WordPress plugins do you use for your website and are there any of them (paid or free) that you feel like you "must" have and would be upset if they went away?

03 · The short version
Kate's take, in a sentence or two
Kate has about 30 plugins installed, though most are free—she only pays for ConvertBox, Fathom Analytics, Rank Math, and Tasty Pins, and admits three to five could probably be deleted since she doesn't use them anymore. Her true must-haves are Pretty Links ("by far my number one WordPress plugin ever"), Inline Related Post for internal linking, Rank Math for technical SEO, WP Last Modified Date, and security plugins like Akismet and Wordfence since they're essentially free protection.
