too many plugin will it slow down the blog loading time? i am using around nearly 10 plugin... i wonder it will slow down my blog

theoretically more plugins you use, the more things the web server has to do before showing you the page BUT this depends on what the plugin does.

on optimal condition, it shouldn't be something so noticeable.

i heard some people said that too many plugin will use up alot server's CPU usage, and some hosting company suspend their account...

say you have 200 visitors a day. going from 2 plugins to 10 plugins could actually increase the total resources use per page loaded.

however it's not likely that the increase would be one that screws up the server unless something's wrong with the plugin.

Hey guys, sorry if i have posted in the wrong section. This is a wordpress thread right? I have a wordpress question. In my wordpress presentation part, at the theme editor there, I don't have "Update file" button for me to update the CSS i have edited..how come? Thanks

are you on your own host? perhaps you can also check the read / write permissions on your file.

This is my current wp annoyance, Apache wordpress conflict.

Hopefully someone can decipher the issue.

Of coz using more plugin will give more load to the server. BUT, it depend on what type of plugin that you're using. If the plugin runs whenever a user view user site, there will be extra load to the server.

So far, I havent encounter any plugin that give the server extreme load, unless the plugin is not properly written.

you need to set permission in ur theme files. keyword: CHMOD. You can do this using your FTP client. (Most client will support this feature) But this depend on whether your host allow you to change the permission or not.
