Plugins those slow down your website

Plugins those have functions to increase internal links, pageviews and reduce bounce rates is in the list. Because it will need a lot of ram & CPU to execute its scripts. You could turn it off depend on your need, but these are plugins that everyone need. But if you have over than 10000 posts, be careful with these plugins. It will spend you a huge cost of server resources.

Everytime it executes to find related posts, it has to do a lot of query on your database, then split output data to display the related posts on your site. Even when you have set random post display, each time you hit reload, it will load data once again.
