Excess of WordPress Plugins are NOT GOOD
for Website!
  • When you are building a WordPress website, you
    generally select a theme to create a website that
    needs tweaks in order to get the desired
    output. WordPress Plugins come as a blessing for
    WordPress development. But what happens in this
    process? Sometimes you land up adding too many
    plugins and extensions.
  • Anything you need for a wordpress site can be
    achieved with the use of plugins. There are
    thousands of plugins available for WordPress
    websites. Be it social media buttons or an image
    slider, it is all available as per your
    requirements. In very few cases, you may need to
    create a new plugin or may in the case of custom
    WordPress development. There are more than 50,000
    plugins available for WordPress open source
    framework and on top of it, there is a huge
    community of WordPress developers backing it up!

Excess of WordPress Plugins are NOT GOOD

  • This is the reason that most of WordPress
    developers create a development plan. I agree
    there is no other more convenient CMS platform to
    build with, but there are few drawbacks too.
    Moreover, WordPress also suffers from security
    vulnerabilities and thus too many plugins can
    prove making this factor even worse.

So How Many Plugins is Appropriate for a
WordPress Website? 
  • WordPress is generally very easy to work with.
    Development is convenient with the use of
    available WordPress resources like WordPress
    Website Templates, WordPress Page Builders,
    WordPress Development Tools, WordPress Page
    Editors, WordPress Plugins etc.
  • These Plugins definitely come handy when you wish
    to extend functionality by adding plugins without
    editing the code or writing a new one for the
    required functionality. Yes, I understand it is
    not easy to control using them when you need them
    and because they are very helpful.
  • The reason that I have brought this topic to
    limelight is to eradicate the myth that plugins
    do not slow the website. We are aware that
    plugins help in optimizing the performance of the
    website. But lets face the fact

So How Many Plugins is Appropriate for a
WordPress Website? 
Adding a WordPress plugins leads to an
additional code snippet in your website. Yes, it
is true that it WordPress plugins do not slow
down your wordpress website but it does increase
the code of the website, therefore your website
will take a little more time to load. 
  •  
  • The catch it whether you add the code to the
    WordPress files of themes instead of installing
    the plugins, it come down to the same thing. So
    get over this myth! But on the other hand, how
    knows how many are right. The answer is ask
    yourself which ones are right and which ones are
    required! I know of one website that uses more
    than 600 plugins in the WordPress website and
    their website works fine. So you understand that
    how many does not matter, which ones matter!
  • We are aware that plugins are used to add
    features and extend functionalities so if you
    think that features is important, go ahead and
    install it.

What is the effect of Plugins on WordPress
websites?  What to Avoid ?
  • A few plugins affect the front end of a website
    which indirectly affects the loading speed of the
    page. Also, there are other plugins that affect
    the back end of the wordpress website. And many
    plugins that affect both front end and back end
    of the website.
  • Avoid using plugins like Google XML sitemap or
    such posts plugins. They are mostly affecting the
    performance of a particular action and are good
    to avoid.

Conduct Analysis of Requirements 
  • Look into your features of the sitemap, and
    analyse the importance of those requirements. See
    which features need plugins and then accordingly
    choose a WordPress plugin. You always have a
    choice to replace the plugin with a manual code.
    It could much effort but you can do it in case
    your website code is heavier. If you are using
    YARP Yet Another Related Post Plugin, then I
    suggest writing a code. But do not compromise on
    the security and a WordPress website needs it.

    then pursue it with caution. You can always ask
