False or obsolete ideas regurgitate over and over on blogs without any fact-checking. The majority of people accept these ideas as truth. What matters and what doesn’t about plugins in the WordPress world? Frequent questions are often web myths. The best plugins add no page weight at all – weightlessness! (In reality, about 1 millisecond – or less – per plugin to the initial page load.) Being sloppy in judging plugin quality or necessity is the culprit. It’s a myth using many plugins slows down your website. And all our plugins are freebies from the plugin directory.

There’s no such thing as a risk-free plugin or theme. Bugs in the new version mangle the site or causes conflicts. A common plugin problem is automatic updates loading onto managed WordPress sites.

Retired or dead author’s plugins stay in the WordPress free directory. But generally plugins stay as long as there isn’t any noise about them. They call those “take downs.” Plugin authors remove some because they didn’t get the market results they wanted. If a plugin doesn’t work any more or presents security hazards, it’s removed fast. WordPress’ motive is their legal protection against liability and lawsuits. Does that mean it won’t work any more with new versions of WordPress? Nope. WordPress places warnings when a plugin isn’t tested with recent versions. They throw people off with their arbitrary “expiration-date” warnings.” Those “best if used by” freshness dates are silly. There are plugins that are 8-years old in the directory that work fine.
