Building a website

Content Management Systems like WordPress allows non-technical people to build user-friendly websites on their own.

WordPress offers thousands of themes and plugins that let you create virtually anything of your choice.

Plugins

Are a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They add new features to your WordPress websites and integrate effortlessly with WordPress.

Plugins are very beneficial but only if they are used with care.

Slow website or not many visitors?

If too many plugins are used on a website then the site will be slow to load – Google does not like slow loading websites and will penalize your website in organic search rankings.  Your website will therefore not be on the first page when your customers are searching for your product or service

Badly written plugins

Cause your site to crash or fail to load, or they can cause security issues for their site, making your site easier to hack. Because poor coding will open the back door of your website to hackers.

Hence always choose plugins wisely. Keep an eye on which plugins you are using and delete the ones no longer required.  By doing this, you will be able to reduce the risk of affecting your site negatively through your plugin choices.
