These plugins slow down your WordPress

“There’s a plugin for that” is a long-time notion in the global WordPress community. In one way it’s a positive example of the flexibility of WordPress, but on the other hand it has created a mind-set of “everything should be solved using plugins”. We know slow WordPress plugins is one of the biggest performance killers in the WordPress ecosystem.

The downside to the “there’s a plugin for that” mindset is that WordPress sites have become slower than they have to be. In contrast to what some users of other CMSes and static content generators claim, WordPress is not slow. It’s what we add to WordPress that makes it slow. For example plugins.

Thanks for sharing an informative post.

That is true use the minimum amount of WP plugins

That's why you should use as less plugins as possible.
I mean, why use a Google Analytics plugins with thousands of lines of code when you can just put the tracking code yourself?
These days I always code things myself if I can.
Unless I need very complex features (e.g. WooCommerce payment method integrations), I use Code Snippets and write the php code myself in the simplest way possible.
