This question comes up a lot, the answer is not simple, but we can look at some general recommendation for how many plugins are needed and what most sites actually use in practice. Remember, the more powerful your hosting, the better it will handle any heavy plugins you may need.

An for video: Amazon ses as an smtp to send emails. I’m just doing this now and it seems the best and cheapest smtp out there.
Very good idea 👍
For me, it is not the number that is important but the interactions that each of the plugins do individually …. some plugins do not do a lot of interactions but others well that’s why I consider that this is not the number that should be taken into consideration.
Good point 👍
Hi there! Thanks for the video. I have a store with 68 active plugins working very well. Of course, the more, the greater the risks, but it works great and performs exceptionally. 👏
Good stuff! What kind of hosting are you using for this?
@IdeaSpot hey, Vultr HF 2GB via Cloudways. Very good! But now I intend to use it directly with Plesk. I used your tutorial in another video, amazing! But I’m having cache issues on my cart and I’m still working on finding the problem.
Been following your channel for over a year, Alex. Great channel and I really appreciate you.
Thanks very much 🙏
I’d like to add one item to your list of what to look for in a quality plugin. I also check what version of WordPress the plugin has been tested up to. High quality plugins that are being updated regularly should be tested up to the current version. Really good, solid plugins are tested up to current WP version within a day or two of releases. That’s always a good sign for me. Also, I check for when that last update was made. If it’s a year ago, I’m not sure anyone is actively maintaining it. Hope that helps!
Great point 👍 thanks for watching

We currently running 43 plugins on my DSO. But most of those plugins are our in-house made. We test every plugins we made on our Local Host server, when we found some issues we fixed it and tested it again, when everything is good-to-go, we’ll applied to our for-online server. Our in-house plugins are made exclusively for our internal using.
