But if you cram too many plugins into one WordPress site, you may end up hurting its performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Potential Security Vulnerabilities \u2014<\/strong>&nbsp;Although plugins from authoritative publishers are generally reliable, they\u2019re still subject to hacks that will compromise your site\u2019s integrity.

Just look at the \u201cLast Updated\u201d date in the plugin\u2019s summary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re at it, look for the confirmation if the plugin is tested with your version of WordPress. If it isn\u2019t, the plugin\u2019s summary should display this message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, check the plugin\u2019s reviews and see if users are getting issues with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you decide to install the plugin, monitor the performance of your website.
