Expires Headers
This plugin is easy to setup and for those experimenting with joomla caching and performance you are in for a treat. This plugin allows proper caching of joomla's dynamic content/output. If configured correctly along with file caching via htaccess you can get some really good results. Currently this cannot be used along with the inbuilt joomla cache or jotcache.

I would completly recommend this. Unlike joomla's 'use browser cache' option the cached content is availble outside a single browser session and reduces http headers sent because instead of sending a http header when you go from page to page so joomla can say to your browser the page has not changed your browser will see you have the page cached locally and until the content expires/becomes stale your browser will not need to send another http header for that page.

nice one

EasySQL for Joomla, if you without phpMyAdmin
One feature alone make this an oustanding plugin. There is an option to rename your database prefix. I just used the default one when i installed Joomla, this is a bad thing. It leaves you more oopen to SQL Injection attacks. This is because hackers will know what the joomla default table prefix is.

This plugin stop me having to do this the old fashioned way.

thanks
BIGSHOT Google Analytics
I wasn't sure what the difference between a module and a plugin was, but now i do, this is the google analytics extention to use.

You have to mess about with modules to get them in the right place, with this plugin, you install, add your code and you are done.

Thanks
