The best WordPress plugins, actually ranked

Most "best plugins" lists just sort by install count. That floats whatever a host bundled onto millions of sites, and whatever a big brand shipped years ago and left to coast. This page takes the most-installed plugins and re-ranks them by whether they're worth installing: their rating once you weight how many people actually reviewed it, whether they still run cleanly on current PHP and WordPress, and whether real users chose them or a host did it for them.
