Plugins Speed Test

This used, shows impact of installed plugins (only for those located in the official WordPress plugin repository) on your blogs’

In other words, with this plugin, you can easily determine which plugins from the WordPress
plugin repository are less resource intensive, and which ones can slow down your WordPress blog when used.

• Resources added to post page after plugin has been installed (in kB)
• Number of DB tables created by the plugin.

Every plugin was tested on a fresh WordPress installed instance populated with a sample content.
No additional plugins were installed to avoid any unwanted impact on the speed test.
