Plugin Questions
-
Hello,
I hope that this is in the right group as it looked like I am not able to post into the “Plugins” section.
Basically what I have going on is I have a site that I am working on but it has been around for a few years. There is some plugins that are there that might be out dated and maybe too much on resources or inefficient. I wanted to get some feedback on the plugins that are used to see if there is a more efficient plugin that I could use that would do the same thing or anythign recommendations you might have that can help the site be more efficient.
Plugins:
Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection – This was setup to prevent SPAM and other malicious attacks
All in One SEO – Optimize SEO
Business Contact Widget – This was used to put a contact details in
Chaty – This was used to create a option to have a Facebook Messenger Icon
GTranslate – Translator
ImageMagick Engine – I am not certain on this one, I think it was used to resize pictures reading by the descrption
Jetpack – Mostly to monitor website website performance, downtime alerts
Jetpack Boost – No idea really as I think this was installed when Jetpack was installed.
Loginizer – Login Security
Simple History – Monitor changes on the site via a Log
Site Kit by Google – Installed with Google Analytics which is no longer used
W3 Total Cache – Installed for Caching website to help load faster
Widget Importer & Exporter – I think this was used to upload widgets to the site. It has not been used in some time it looks like.

You can remove this one, since you have Jetpack boost:

You can remove this one, although it just adds few load on plugin page and when using it.I had to keep W3 Total Cache. I looked at Jetpack Boost and there was not premium subscription for it. I actually ended up removing Jetpack Boost.
I also removed the following:
- Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection – Jetpack seems to do this job
- ImageMagick Engine – Didnt need it
- Jetpack Boost – No Subscription Active
- Loginizer – Jetpack seems to do this job also
- Widget Importer & Exporter – This has not been used in some time. If needed it can be installed again and used as needed.
@macmanx Copy. Thanks for that.
