A few plugins that we have found useful and recommend to our users
Security
Sucuri Security – Various tools for hardening your website against malware, hackers, and inappropriate use
Easy Updates Manager – Enable, automate, & manage WordPress upgrades
WP Security Audit Log – Keeps audit logs of who logs in and what they do
Speed & Responsiveness
WP Super Cache – Greatly increases the speed at which your website runs by caching a pre-generated copy and only rebuilding it when necessary. (ie something is changed)
JS & CSS Script Optimizer – Speeds up Javascript and CSS files by combining, compressing, and relocating them to non-blocking locations in your webpage. Can greatly speed up perceived page load time
Content Management
Quick Page Post Redirect – Provides powerful redirects for both existing pages (maybe you need to change the Permalink) and raw URL-to-URL translations
OSU Integration
Shibboleth – OSU-branded login for your users. Full setup instructions for OSU accounts available here
OPIC – Causes WordPress to use OSU’s internal avatar system OPIC for profile avatars rather than Gravatar. (Note: This one isn’t available from WordPress via the standard install method and needs to be downloaded and installed manually).
