You’re allergic to WP plugins? Interesting…
But are you allergic to efficiency too?
That’s one of the most common+defensive questions I get from my clients…
“Will you build it using only essential plugins?”
Look, I get it.
WordPress is being abused these days.
People install plugins
Essential + Totally Unnecessary = Bloated Website
And yes, it’s horrible…Cause
More plugins = more weightlifting for web servers
But the twist is….
The problem isn’t the plugins
It’s how we developers use them
After 7+ years of building inside WordPress, I’ve found 3 big reasons behind the plugin abuse culture:
1) Lack of enough coding knowledge
2) Zero strategic component thinking
3) Never detaching unused assets of used plugins
That’s it.
It’s not the tool….it’s the mindset…
I’ve even had clients so terrified they didn’t let me install a single one.
The truth most agency founders miss….
Building clean doesn’t mean avoiding plugins.
So….if you’re allergic to plugins, no worries….
I don’t prescribe them blindly
I use them strategically
That’s how you get performance and efficiency
