Plugin Overload Can Be Dangerous

Having plugins in a blog is always counted to the positive side of blogging. But just as you know too much of everything can be dangerous, similarly too many plugins can be fatal for your blog. Here are the top Reasons why plugin overload is not at all a good idea.

Upgrading problem: The more plugins you add, the more problem you face with upgrading. One of the major issues is plugin incompatibility and also you have to disable all your plugins before upgradation and then enable one by one after that.

Security Problem: If you install too many plugins on your blog with their own pros and cons of security procedures, there will be a big conflict between them. Even if you have a stable blogging platform but these plugin conflict puts your blog into security threat.

Blog becomes slow: All plugins are not resource friendly and many of these are coded badly. With so many different plugins you will end up with slowing your blog speed.

If one goes wrong: With plugin overload troubleshooting becomes a major problem. In most cases it might be like this that if one plugin goes wrong you have to disable all others.

This not all as there are loads of other reasons to prove that plugin overload can be dangerous. All you have to take care of is while choosing plugins for your blog. Choose your plugins very carefully after lot of testing. A limited and only necessary plugin is what is recommended.

    Very coin has two faces, and same apply with plug-in too. Yes, of-course plug-in helps a lot but it also make blog pretty slow, and this days loading speed matters a lot, if your blog is taking to long to get load in browsers then it can effect your blog/website ranking too…
