Your WordPress site might be slower (and less secure) because of plugins you forgot you installed.
When I take over a WordPress site, the plugin list is the first thing I check. I usually find:
→ 2 or 3 plugins doing the same job, often forms, sliders or SEO → Page builders loading their full library on pages that don't use them → Plugins that haven't been updated in over a year → Deactivated plugins that were never deleted
Cleaning this up is often the quickest speed and security win on a site. No redesign needed.
Quick check: open Plugins in your dashboard. How many are active right now? Tell me in the comments.
