The fewer WordPress plug-ins you install, the better, and the more you install, the better. What plug-ins should you install? My general suggestions are as follows: first, confirm that the plug-in is really the one you need, and second, confirm whether the plug-in is efficient.

How can I confirm that it is the plug-in I need?

WPJAM Basic has integrated many common functions of WordPress, and I have optimized the interaction. For example, for the SMTP sending function, WPJAM Basic has integrated corresponding extensions.

If you have installed WPJAM Basic, you should first read the WPJAM Basic instructions in detail. If the corresponding functions are already available, it is unnecessary to install an independent plug-in.

In addition, there are more than 20 free and paid plug-ins produced by WPJAM, which generally have the same functions. WPJAM Bssic has been installed, and other plug-ins produced by WPJAM have been installed, so the experience and efficiency will be better.

How to confirm whether the plug-in is efficient?

I also have solutions to this problem, mainly in the following two aspects:

1. Plug ins larger than WordPress should not be installed. If so many codes are needed to implement the functions of the plug-in, it is generally not a best practice, or the plug-in introduces too many unnecessary libraries. In the jargon, it is not WordPress code.

2. After installing the plug-in, simply feel that the speed of the plug-in is significantly slower, so don't install it. This aspect can also be detected through a very detailed method. I have a free plug-in to check the running efficiency of WordPress: WPJAM Debug (reply "free" to get it).

You can check the running time of the page and the number of SQL requests before installation, and the running time of the page and the number of SQL requests after installation. By comparing these two data, you can see how much the plug-in affects the page. Generally, you can check the home page and the article details page.
