Limit the plugins
Plugins enhance the functionality of your website but keep in mind that overcrowding will result in poor performance of your website. When choosing the plugins for your website functionality consider their JavaScript features and ask yourself whether you really need this functionality. Do not crowd your theme with avalanche plugins – our suggestion is to garner not more than 10 plugins. You could also get a consultation with a specialist to suggest your plugins range.

Find the right theme
Sometimes, themes also decrease the loading speed, so check the compatibility and user performance of the theme while choosing it. Try finding something simple and elegant.
