Hey! Though WordPress can give you endless possibilities, but not use it well will cause more harm to your blog than good.
Like using too much plugin on your blog can put weight on your blog server and cause your site to run slow.
And once your site becomes slow, it will lose its rank on Google search and your host provider might suspend your account due to the weight it is putting on the server.
Installing and using two plugins that work the same thing is bad for you. Uninstall one of the plugins and just use the other.
What are your reasons for having 30 WordPress plugins on your blog? If you don’t have a good reason, please try to cut it down by uninstalling the useless ones.

For me, Yoast SEO is the most important of all. Almost everyone knows how important SEO is. What I also love having in my wordpress is the Qeryz. It is a wordpress survey tool. I’m so thankful for that plugin because I have an idea what my readers like and dislike about my blog.

Hi Babanature,
I just couldn’t live without Yoast. It saves so much time when checking my SEO. I won’t publish anything unless all the lights are green. Its like having a virtual assistant looking over my work telling me I need to fix up this or that until it is all working well.
