List of some popular wordpress plugins which can slow down your wordpress site.
I will share list of plugins which can slow down your site. But here are some plugins which play major role in slowing down your wordpress site. So these plugins includes related post, statistic, sitemap, chat, calendar, page builders, and
Common Feature of plugins which slow down your site
- Some Plugins that provide real-time protection or scans/processes
- Those plugins which show multiple times in your GTmetrix report.
Note: GTmetrix is a speed checking tools. You can use it to check your website speed.
Why should you avoid these popular wordpress plugins which can slow down your wordpress sites on shared hosting?
I know the list includes some popular wordpress plugins but you have to remove them and use some alternative plugins or you have to upgrade your webhosting to avoid this issue.
Anyway, I am not saying these are not good plugins. But we are removing these plugins due to their ability to slow down your site.
Mostly new bloggers, I have seen, are using jet pack for analytics which can slow down your site.its alternative is “Google analytics” which is free and work better than jetpack.
You can remove contact form 7 and use mailto:contact@example.com link. When some click on mailto: link. Popup window will open “windows’ email” client.
Some plugins can perform more than one functionality like yoast. Yoast is normally used for On-page seo. But you can use its sitemap feature to avoid high loads.
The key point is to find a plugin which perform multiple tasks.
These plugins are not programmed for shared hosting. If you want to use these plugins on shared hosting. You have to sacrifice your speed. However you can easily use these plugins on vps or high performance servers.
Ads units can also be one of the many reasons to slow down your site performance. I will ask to remove Ads units, Lol. Just use limited ads. Like 2, 3 on one page.

Hmmm. Interesting post.
On the other hand. Most of these plugins are popular for a reason. If you are using Wordpress anyway you will have a hard time to get around one or the other.
Haha good.But I have already shared how to get around and alternative of these plugins. :)
