Top 17 Most Useful WordPress MU Plugins

I would like to recommend a few really useful (and tested) plugins based on my WordPress experience.

When I was looking for a new plugin, the main requirements were

Easy to use
The plugin should only be able to do what is really necessary (for security reasons)
Small size (for performance reasons)
Use as little plugin as necessary (for security and performance reasons)

I have used these plugins on my WPMU sites for various reasons:

Network Activated:

Autoptimize - Reduce loading times and the server load as well

Block Bad Queries (BBQ) - Increase security level

Beehive Analytics - Embedded Google Analytics

Disqus Conditional Load - Keep database size small by store comments somewhere else

JSM's User Locale Selector - The easiest way to translate WordPress Dashboard

WP SMTP Config - Send emails from SMTP instead of PHP (avoid sending a spam)

WP Super Cache - Reduce loading times and the server load as well

WP Ultimo - Create a subscription system for WPMU

Network Available for users:

Blogger Importer Extended - Import blog from Blogger

Contact Form 7 - The most useful contact form

Elementor - Customizer for WP theme

Tumblr Importer - Import blog from Tumblr

Two Factor - Enable 2FA with Google Authenticator

WordPress Importer - Import blog from another WordPress

Yoast SEO - Optimize website to increase SEO score

Main Site Active:

Contact Form 7 - The most useful contact form

Cookie Notice - GDPR reason

Elementor - Customizer for WP theme

If you want to buiId a WPMU based web hosting, I recommend using VPS on DigitalOcean.
