WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world, with a market share of more than 60%.
A big support community and a number of available free plugins make building a website with WordPress (WP) affordable, and it plays a key role in why its market share is so big.
However, as you know, installing plugins comes at a cost.
They often may degrade your Core Web Vitals scores; For example, they may load unnecessary CSS or JS files on every page where they are not needed.
