Some people have a couple dozen plugins installed and some have nearly 100 plugins installed in WordPress. However, how many plugins should you install in WordPress?

I usually recommend staying with the more mainstream plugins and one's that are actively updated and supported. All you need is one outdated plugin to leave a back door open for hackers or to crash your site when you update to the latest version of WP.

Love this article and you gave some great ideas. I really hate when I'm shopping online and I go to checkout and the store has a really complicated checkout process. One thing that REALLY grinds my gears is when I checkout and I end up having extra things on my bill that I didn't even want! All because it was hard for me to decipher what was in my cart because of all the "extraness" they have in the checkout process.

I don't think it's so much the number of plugins but rather the quality of them. If the code is clean, you can have 50 plugins running and not skip a beat. On the other hand, one poorly written plugin can bring your site to a crawl, or just crash it completely.
