There is always room for improvement. And this also applies to websites. Even if your website has a stable flow of traffic, your readership seems to be growing, and you’re pleased with how much engagement your posts get, I bet you can still make all of it better. And improvement doesn’t always mean overall redesign or money investment. Sometimes, a couple of good WordPress plugins will do.
If you’re website is not using any of the below mentioned WordPress plugins, I recommend you give them a try. They come with pretty cool functionality and are bound to make your site even better. Find a short description for each of them, and see in what ways they can be useful for you.
Google Analytics WD

Statistics provide a great baseline for improvement. With WordPress Google Analytics WD you can access all of your website statistics reports without leaving your site’s dashboard area, and get valuable insights in which aspects it needs improvement. Whether it’s your audience, site performance, visitor interests or demographics, sales statistics or reports of your AdSense and AdWords accounts, you can easily access them from the plugin’s reporting page. And if you still need reports on specific metrics and dimension that Google Analytics doesn’t automatically track, you can enable the tracking of custom dimensions and set custom reports to view them at any time. Also, you can set and manage goals for tracking targeted activities and filter out any unwanted data from the reports.
All 404 Redirect to Homepage plugin
