What new/old plugins for WordPress are you guys using to optimize your blog/website?

Yoast SEO
W3 Cache
Google XML Sitemaps

Those are my core 3. The rest vary depending on the site.

well i had the dickroll all set up, then realized where you posted, so:

WPAlchemy MetaBox PHP Class

If you actually develop wp themes, this is the shit.

I'll toss this one out there too. If you need some custom dynamic fields for your site you need to try Advanced Custom Fields. I've idiot proofed sites on the back end where end users can plug things in I can grab and display on the front end.

+1 for Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu. It is usually the first plugin that I install.

Outbrain works well for getting people to view more pages on some blogs.
