In this article, I share the top 5 Chrome extensions for WordPress development that I use in my own development process.
These extensions make development faster and life easier.
I also have a YouTube video where I demonstrate these extensions in real practice:
So, let’s get started!
Loom – Screen Recorder & Screen Capture
As a WordPress developer, I often record videos for teammates, clients, managers, etc. Recording a video allows me to demonstrate what I mean more clearly, point out problems, or show how we can fix them. It’s much faster and easier than typing everything out. This is why Loom is the first Chrome extension on my list for WordPress developers.
Wappalyzer – Technology Profiler
This Chrome extension helps analyze how a website was built. It identifies which services, plugins, or themes the developer used. I highly recommend this extension because it saves time by eliminating the need to dig through page code.
ColorPick Eyedropper
This Chrome extension helps WordPress developers quickly identify colors on a page without using the “inspector.” Just click on the extension, then click on the element from which you want to get the color. That’s it! This extension saves time and effort.
GoFullPage – Full Page Screen Capture
The GoFullPage extension makes taking full-page screenshots quick and easy. It’s very useful because WordPress developers often strive for pixel-perfect development. My approach to reviewing results involves comparing the design page with the developed page, side by side. This helps detect bugs or inconsistencies in spacing. This extension is incredibly useful for WordPress developers, and I use it frequently.
Website SEO Checker: Free Audit & Analysis
Often, clients don’t have a dedicated SEO specialist to fix all SEO details after development. This extension analyzes and audits your website, providing valuable information about the page or website that you can easily and quickly fix. It’s a must-have for WordPress developers.
Bonus: Google Tag Assistant Legacy & Meta Pixel Helper
As a WordPress developer, you often need to connect analytics (such as Google Tag Manager or Facebook Pixel) to clients’ websites. These extensions make it easy to check whether analytics are properly connected to the website. They are essential Chrome extensions for any WordPress developer
These are must-have Chrome extensions for any WordPress developer.
