A plugin is a software component that adds a specific feature to an existing computer program. When a program supports plugins, it enables customization.
A plugin is a piece of software that contains a group of functions that can be added to a website.
What is a plugin?
A special type of add-on that includes a special program library, but at the same time is not an integral part of specific software, is by definition defined as a plugin.
The main purpose of these add-ons is to extend functionality or add new features to certain software. Using these plugin libraries, this software can offer users various functions that were not actually included in it upon creation.
The principle by which these software add-ons work is to be fully customizable and aim to greatly improve certain applications or programs.

ReadyCMS offers a wide variety of plugins to enrich the user experience.
Unlike other content management systems, ReadyCMS does not install but activates plugins. Functionalities are already integrated into the system, reducing the chance of possible errors and unforeseen situations.
