Essential WP plugins ? Want to keep Site Fast.

[Rollfic]

Hi, currently want to make this site fast because Google .... you know.

Theme is Generate Press.

Current installed plugins are:

W3 total cache
WPS hide login
Wordfence
Lginizer
Hide My WP ghost lite
Rankmath
Newsletter
contact form 7
Add to social share
Generate press premium
Perfmatters + Surge
yet another related posts

I feel like those are way too many but each have specific purposes. Any should be removed and be replaced with a like AIO plugin? Want to keep minimal and do not want to consume resources unnecessarily.

Perfmatters allows you to hide login URLs too - so you don't need HideMyWP ghost
I think perfmatters + surge will do caching for you, so you may not need w3tc
I would add Cloudflare super cache so that HTML is served directly from CF, it would benefit TTFB incredibly
I don't know much about the others though

EDIT: Perfmatters has a script manager module that allows you to disable js and CSS loading depending on specific rules. Good to play around with it and disable anything that you don't need. Backup is a must before you make any changes

There are so many aspects about how to keep site fast.
Sometimes your site is slow because plugins and themes, but also you can improve from another aspects too.
My stupid concept is fewer plugins make my website faster.

My recommendation is to test your site like in Pagespeed and GTMetrix. Then make adjustment and improve from there.
Just reminder - Web Vital and Mobile First is the best target.

Is Optimole actually Cloudfare's own coder?
