WordPress is one of the most favorite CMSes of everybody. It’s easy, it’s fast and it’s Free. It is by far the most used CMS, and according to a DoNanza project, it is still boosting its market share by 61%. I must confess here that we are also using WordPress at Designzzz.
What makes WordPress so special? Apart from all the things I pointed out earlier, its widgets (plugins) also play a big role making it this much popular. You can find all kinds of widgets to improve your site. These widgets are mostly developed by third party companies and individuals. They may relate to designing, SEO, development and all kinds of stuff.
This post is intended for professional bloggers who want to improve the protection and security of their websites. It is a collection of widgets that improve the security of your WordPress website. All these widgets are absolutely FREE and still most of them are five star rated.

Page Security by Contexture

Limit Login Attempts
Limits rate of login attempts, including by way of cookies, for each IP.
BulletProof Security
Fast, one click website security protection. Protects your website from ALL XSS and SQL Injection hacking attempts.
WP Automatic Hotlink Protection
“Hotlinking” is when some other site links an image (or any resource) stored on your site into a page of its own. Now the other site is Hotlinking (also known as inlinking) from your site. If you are being hotlinked, your server usage goes high, and the visitors on the other site may not even know that it’s your content they are seeing.
The WordPress Automatic Image Hotlink Protection plugin is a single step script designed to stop others from stealing your images.

Sorry for being late in replying, we are making some major changes in Designzzz so I couldn’t reply to many comments.
I’ll be glad to provide you the kind of plugins you want, and hopefully they all will be free. But plz define your needs a bit.
please define the word “play” in your first requested widget, do you want to keep your visitors busy for sometime?
Do you want an image uploader for the backend (moderators) or frontend (visitors)?
Wonderful list, good compilation.
Thank you so much – I’ve been looking for a list like this. I’ve already installed four of these plugins!
