Useful WordPress plugins and scripts

MU-PLUGINS

Mu-plugins are PHP files containing code snippets that load automatically on every page of your site. Mu-plugins can increase security, add useful features, and speed up your WordPress.

First check if there is a file mu-plugins under the file wp-content.

If there is none, start by downloading the mu-plugins file.

Unzip the folder on your computer and transfer it completely via FTP to the /wp-content/. This should give you /wp-content/mu-plugins/. There is nothing to activate for the mu-plugins to work.
