One thing to take in mind

Pay attention to the number of plugins added to your website. While it’s tempting to add a new one every time you think you need it, they can easily bloat your site and make it slow very quickly.

Remember that plugins contain assets, such as the files which contain their code, CSS stylesheets to customize their appearance, and even images. Some plugins will load on every page of your website, even if it’s not needed, adding to the load time.

Therefore, plugins can increase the number of requests made to your server and make it work more.
