Plugins are bits of software that can extend and add the functionality that are already embedded in WordPress. These are custom features and functions that will allow you to tailor your website to your own needs. Since we are using WordPress, we have the ability to upload and use plugins.

Wondering how many plugins you should use in your website? Here are some tips in the use of plugins.

Too many plugins will cause the page load time to slow down. This will in turn deter your visitors from coming back. Many people don't have the patience to wait for slow pages to load in their computer.

In order to maximize the health of your website, it is advisable that you keep your plugins below five. You always want your page to load faster.

Note: Not all plugins are useful to your website. Some may be helpful while others can hurt your website. Before you install any plugins, be sure to backup your website.

"Site Health is Getting Better" -- still not indexed though. I guess this will happen on its own eventually, or else it's later on in the training.

You're doing great! It takes a little while to be indexed. Just be patient and keep on with all the training. If you can, review some of the lessons and check what else needs to be done on your website. Have a great week!

Thanks, too, Tarja. Nice to hear from you. It's true that our websites need to mature so that we can gain site trust. It can take time but we will get there soon. I believe we are on our way. Cheers!

Great tutorial, betcha! Do you know how long it takes to gain some "Site Trust?" My websites are listed as "awesome," but have 0% site trust so far. :(

Click on Site Trust. You will find the criteria. The time does vary, when it comes to Comments.

Hi Jillian, thanks dropping by. I believe gaining site trust can take some time depending on how well you build your website. Since your website is still new, keep on doing everything that our WA training shows us to do. I'm sure you will gain site trust as your website matures. Blessings on everything that you do.

We just have to be patient. I am sleepy as well. Lol. I didn't get to sleep cause I have an assignment due today. I still have to go to work and write some blogs! But this is temporary. The best is yet to come! Let's keep moving forward!
