The video was good at understanding the number of plugins that can be installed on a WordPress website. Thanks for sharing Jamie.

I have been waiting for this since yesterday. Thank you Sir.

Cool 🙏

This was a fun experiment. And to think, I am generally resistant to wanting to add plugins, but I have not gotten anywhere near having quite so many running.

Very good creation!

I was looking thru your videos and didn't find anything on SSL certificates, I used a plugin to do it, but when I ran a test on semrush it says my url is redirected. I'm not sure how to correct that without breaking anything.

Interesting… and a bit silly towards the end. Now how about taking it further from here: is it helpful to deactivate plugins? And those findings regarding the caching plugins? What is a good basic installment to compensate for those «too many» plugins? I e.g. use ShortPixel for optimizing images, WP Fastest Cache for caching and WP Optimize to optimize tables. Are Jet Boost and those Nitro things any good? Or do they harm the quality of the images etc? Your experienced opinion would be greatly valued. Thanks again!

Bro....I'm just here for the cat at the end....well, yes and the interesting experiment lol

Yup the Cats are generally what people like most about my channel 😀

i feel like whatever i do with cloudflare and only a few plugins it always is so slow

sou novo nisso, se conseguirem me ajudar com o Gutenberg, não aparece a opção para adicionar blocos, já fui nas configurações mudei para deixar o usuario escolher o editor, e ainda sim não vai

We took over a site created by another developer. It had 47 active plugins, and over 20 inactive. I wondered at the time "how many would it take to crash WP?" Now I know - thanks Jamie! :D

Yup it’s scary some of the sites we see too 😱

This site has "Run down aisle and joined the choir in the Vestibule. This site is passed on! This site is no more!" Aw but Jamie, it could just be pining for the fjords! I love this experiment. I wish that it would have broken sooner. It would be a great reality check for some saleey type. Great content. Thanks!

Interesting experiment. I think this can be improved by only considering quality plugins rather than selecting just random plugins. Like, selecting 10 to 20 categories of plugins and then installing the best 10 from each category. I think the quality of the plugins will matter a lot in detecting the breaking point of Wordpress 😀

Stop at 159 plugins, got it!

Wow… what a title!

This is a brilliant idea and fascinating and to watch. I’m actually working on making an Elementor site load faster and I’m hard coding the header and footer as a start, hoping that will reduce plugin dependencies such as jet menu etc. Great content!

I have 230 on one site but it is multisite and not all plugins are active on all sites - just different sets of plugins about 70 per site...

That’s quite a few - what kind of sites are they ?

So hilarious .. the content quality and pace of the video is so good!

I feel like this could get a lot of views

So another good argument for dropping all the page builders and just stick with plugins for Gutenberg. In that way one can minimize number of plugins needed and make a faster more reliable site.

So much easier to manage as well. And go with the new S#re Cart plugin that replaces W00 plugins. (Stoopid YT censor bots!)

Please consider normalizing your volume. The music is way too loud. Great content, though!

Funny how google itself is the biggest culprit in slowing down a site, i.e. adsense and google fonts alone caused my page to go from 86 to 43 on mobile.

Yes. It's like they just want to keep us busy

The plugin limit is 159!!!

It is not the quantity of plugins that will break the WordPress installation......it's the quality of the plugins. ONE crappy coded plugin can destroy your site.

Omg that hurts! Have you no shame, just throwing different caching plugins in there 😨🤯😬😂

YEAH! He could have done all 160 with just W00 and Elementor plugins alone. lol

160 plugins that you... CRASH!!! Oops! 159 plugins that you absolutely need on your website! lol Of course, just one poorly coded plugin could decrease the speed and scores drastically. It would be interesting to see how many properly designed plugins could be installed that don't overload tons of unnecessary CSS and Javascript on every page. By the way, before you ended your mad scientist Frankenplugin experiment, how many of those 160 plugins requested updates? lol

Ditch the loud nasty music transitions.
