An Alternative “Related Posts” WordPress Plugin – Where Did They Go From Here | Search Engine Journal. I am trying this to see if it is useful. It seems to work pretty well. I tested it out and it did make a link. I wonder what kind of internal linking it will show. I am always surprised to see the popularity of some posts.
Going without plugins is hard
Maybe I am a plugin addict. I had to recently go without plugins for a couple of weeks at the request of my host. I didn’t find out the results of my sacrifice, so perhaps that will be apparent once I make it a priority to follow-up with them.
I think what I miss most about plugins in the ability to do cool things that otherwise I didn’t know were possible. I used to do basic programming in the past, and it was always fun to make the computer do what you wanted. I once programmed a calendar with the important dates included. I wanted to do a GUI calendar which was challenging in the DOS era that I was in. Now there is probably an ActiveX or API for that function.
Have you ever gone without something for a long time and then enjoyed it when it came back into your life?
Don’t have more than 20 plugins
Otherwise you may not only bring your WordPress account down, but you may also crash the server for everyone else. That is what I just did today.
I called in and the server administrator called me, and we discussed several plugins that can cause problems on shared servers. I disabled CommentLuv, YARP, and Broken Link Checker. While I was at it, I also disabled Google Analytics, Google Site Verifier and one other. He said that YARP was known to cause problems, and once I described what Broken Link Checker does said that might happen as well. He also suggested I not use VaultPress which he said also coincided with the high server usage that caused the crash.
I had never been told by other providers that this was a problem. I wonder now if WordPress could put out some guidance and tell people not to do shared hosting if they have more than 10 plugins.
