Remove entirely or just deactivate a plugin?
Published on July 15, 2017
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
We are constantly being warned to keep plugins to a minimum on our sites. I see that some plugins need to be used only rarely and then deactivated, such as WP Optimize. Is simply deactivating a plugin enough or does it need to be completely uninstalled from the website dashboard? My question is really this, does having several deactivated plugins present on the dashboard slow down the site loading time? Aren't deactivated plugins just ignored?
Thanks for the help.
