Hi Chris, my hero 🙂

I did as you recommended last time, delete and copy theme, that worked, you are the best. :))

I am hosted with http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com and their site health indicates too many plugins. I stripped already down as much as possible, even decided to move my forum to a second website to keep my newspaper on speed.

These plugins are active, I hope you can help me with this one, I use the coming soon pro as I am not launched yet and this way i can prepare till the website is ready:

Try testing with gtmetrix.com instead of that companys health meter. Number of plugins not directly related to health, as many plugins are simple functions, which as plugins survive theme updates as not in theme functions.php file.

You might also consider a wordpress optimized hostingco, also.

Health is not a specific indicator without more reference to what is being measured… speed? Resources used? Or what?

Obviously a bad plugin can impact a site more than number of plugins, specifically.

Not sure that helped or not.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time and trying to help out, much appreciated.

Will need to test your theory once we launch as currently a coming soon plugin is running, or does this not affect a speed test?

Meanwhile I found out, it is as you say, my host has a rule that if it counts more as x plugins it tells you the speed is poor, I guess that is meant for absolute green newbies not to mess up with plugins.

What do you think?
