While you may want to install and test that plugin list in the directory on your blog and find out how it materializes on your blog, I suggest to choose your plugins wisely. Many of you might already have felt this: Too many plugins tend to make your WordPress installation slow.

Yes, it is true. I have checked it out myself. I installed a lot of plugins and the result is a slow responding blog.

Some tips to keep your blog in tip-top shape:

  • Remember to choose your plugins wisely.
  • Install and activate only those plugins that you require.
  • Do not test new plugins on your actual production blog. Either create a test blog with your host or create a testing environment on your home PC or laptop.
  • Do not keep plugins that you don’t use installed on your blog.
  • Finally, many of the features which were previously available via plugins are now integrated into the latest release from WordPress. So, to lessen the load, keep your blog updated.

There. I hope these tips will be useful for you. Got comments? Drop them here.
