Plugins choices? Which one should be activated?
If you click on the site manager, you can check your website health. There are several ratings posted on the website health page. One of them is "Plugins." If you want to keep a 100% rating in plugins, the number of plugins activated on your site has to be below five. By the way, what are the choices of plugins have to be loaded at least do you think?
I run six plugins on my webpages:
- Yoast SEO
- WP GDPR
- W3 Total Cache
- WP Review
- Ad Inserter
- EWWW image optimizer
I want to keep my site loading fast and have the need to post product reviews. Also, I think it's important to have my site GDPR complied. If I have to deactivate one of the six plugins, then which one first?
I don't understand why I have to keep plugins under five,really.

It is ok to have more than 5 plugins. The Site performance overview recommends you to stay below 5 to make people aware not to install too many plugins.
But if you need the plugins there is no problem in having more than 5. However, the cache plugin might not be necessary if you have SiteSpeed enabled here on WA so that is something you can look into.
But in general you should not be worried about having a few extra plugins if they are for good reasons.
