Every plugin is a security hole...

Don't use Jetpack, it made my site 2 sec slower even with CDN running!

Must use a caching plugins for minimizing your scripts sizes
Sitemaps, CDN, firewall plugins
SEO plugins like yoast (though it makes your site slower)

I don't know if someone mentioned already this one...

THIRSTY AFFILIATES plugin for affiliate link management is a must for a website. I have added it to my 2 sites and I see improved results in only under 2 months.

Is it not easier to just use htaccess redirects and avoid using a plugin altogether or does this also offer additional advantages?

[casinobingofriends]

Perhaps, if you know how to do htaccess redirects!

You can also add keywords for each affiliate link, so it would automatically link these accross your website.

Statistics on link clicks and the regions are useful too.

For me it works!

I think a specific "go" or "visit" page is far faster then using htaccess, and the htaccess will not end up getting bloated and can be used for redirecting removed pages or folders etc, instead of hundreds of lines for affiliate links, when it is a question about wanting the fastest choice.

My recommended plug-in is ...

AddQuicktag
WP Fastest Cache
Table of Contents Plus
PS Auto Sitemap
Google XML Sitemaps

[ackins.edward]

I can recommend Yoast SEO. It is completely free and offers a wide range of opportunities to optimize the site, including the optimization of your site’s XML maps.

Why add yet another plugin
Instead, use 'visit' or 'goto' folder (EG: yourdomain.com/visit/casinoname.php)

And use a gobal *.php file to redirect to the igaming site. Far quicker than htaccess, and your htaccess file doesn't get clogged up with crap.


The php coding:

<?php
$url = /*starturl*/"hxxp:/www.youraffiliatelink.com"/*endurl*/;
header("Location: ".$url);
?>

Save the above file (casinoname.php) in your folder 'visit', or 'goto', or whatever you've called it.

You'd then use the following link:
hxxp://yourdomain.com/visit/casinoname.php

NB replace xx with tt, you can also add www if you use that.
