WordPress Must Use plugin to unload unnecessary plugins on demand.
Description
Use the oik-unloader plugin to unload unnecessary plugins on demand.
Many websites have lots of plugins activated because the functionality is sometimes needed.
But quite a few of these plugins:
- think they're needed all the time,
- do a lot of processing for each incoming request,
- only to find that there was no need for the work that they'd done.
These slow the server side processing of the site.
This can increase the server response time; time to first byte.
The plugins can also slow the front end of the site; delivering scripts, CSS and even HTML and images that are not actually needed.
Dynamically unloading a subset of plugins for certain requests could improve the overall performance of the site.
This could help improve the Core Web Vitals which may lead to better rankings in Search Engine Results Pages ( SERPs ).
