Too Many Plugins Syndrome
I think we get into this mindset that more is better and that goes along with our plugins also. Is having more better? I don’t think so. If you keep on installing plugins on your blog you are going to make your blog slow down other plugins will not work. I watched a video by Matt Cutts where he only had like 4 plugins on his blog. That is being really minimalist. Here is a picture of my plugins that I have on this blog.
I do have a lot and I think I need to delete couple because I don’t use them on this blog anymore. So how many plugins do you use on your blog? Do you have the too many plugins syndrome?

Agree Greg, to many plugin will kill you.
Dana@LetUpdate´s last blog ..Statistic for WordPress.org Blog
I am running something like 45-55 plugins at any given time, just another reason I haven’t switched to the Thesis theme yet.
Extreme John´s last blog ..Sunday Smash-Alexa Ranking, Constructive Criticism, Twitter Marketing
I’m using All in One SEO Pack, exec-php, SEO title tag, sitemap generator, smart update pinger, statpress seolution, tinymce advanced, wp_category_posts, wp-gbcf…
All in all, 10 plugins at most
Yachts Combson´s last blog ..Isa 600 Superyacht Review with complete photos gallery
Thats lots of plugins Greg.. You should try to minimize it…
Harsh Agrawal´s last blog ..How to split Huge Files With Winrar
That’s a long list, but still I see one good plugin missing that’s the keywordluv plugin,I think that will encourage your visitors more to make comments.

Medical Job Australia´s last blog ..Unified Field Theory and Gravitational Anomaly
That is a lot of plugins, and that’s a serious problem: old plugins that are not maintained are usually hacked into and used to hack into your blog.
I use 9 plug-ins right now, and believe me, I’m looking for a way to cut one or two of them and not decrease functionality.
ashok´s last blog ..On Socrates, Dancing and Philosophy: Xenophon, Symposium II 15-20
I went plugin crazy when I first started my blog. I have since gone to the minimalist approach, as all the plugins really slowed my blog down.
It happened to me that I tried many plugins, install them then uninstall them until i found a good one and suits for me, great post btw.
