Plugins do enhance your WordPress site with extra features and functionality but if not used wisely, it can be more of a drawback than any help to your website.

What too many plugins can do to your site

The most significant drawback of using more plugins is that it slows down you site. When enabled, every plugin will send a request to the server when the site is loading. So, if you have 10 pages and 10 plugins on your site, you are increasing the request to 100 by default. So just imagine the damage done for bigger sites.
