Most bloggers prefer using Wordpress because its plugins makes it easily customizable. Non technical users end up installing tons and tons of plugins out of curiosity for trying them and eventually they forget to deactivate them. Some these plugins are resource hungry and they will effect your pageload speed, so Ajay and Everton teamed up together to build a list of safe and non-safe wordpress plugins. Here’s an excerpt:
Plugins At Risk:
- Blank Target Comments
- Extended Live Archives
- Image Manager
- No Ping Wait
- Quote comment
- Search Everything
- Show Top Commentators
- WP-PageNavi
- WP-PostViews
- Wp View Subscriber Info
- WSR Contact Form
Plugins That Are Probably Safe:
This really makes some sense because some plugins insert some code into template or they may also perform database queries which will result in slower pageloads. So next time if your thinking of installing a plugin, ask yourself if you really need it.
Update: Safe does not necessarily mean security, I’m talking interms of speed.
