List of plugins that should not be installed for your WordPress website.
Installing too many unnecessary plugins will make your website cumbersome and slow to load. Especially when you install heavy plugins, it is possible to insert more files into the web source code or make many queries to the database. Below, we have compiled a list of heavy-duty plugins that can adversely affect the loading speed of your website. The list is given based on the results of tracking using the plugin Query Monitor or Waterfall by GTmetrix. You should only install them if absolutely necessary and cannot find a plugin with similar features to replace them.

Note: this list is subjective and may change on a case-by-case basis. For example, the Jetpack plugin is a great (all-in-one) choice in case you need to use many of its modules. Or VaultPress is one of the top choices if you need regular website data backup (daily or real-time).
