Why Does WordPress Always Break When I Add Plugins? 😅

[cug22]

Hey everyone,
I’ve been using WordPress for a while now, and it’s great… until I get adventurous with plugins. Every time I add a new one, something weird happens—my site slows down, widgets disappear, or, worst of all, the dreaded "critical error" message pops up.

I know it’s probably my fault for using random free plugins that haven’t been updated since 2016, but what’s the fun in playing it safe? Seriously though, does anyone have tips for avoiding plugin disasters? Or maybe a list of “must-have” plugins that won’t wreck my site?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hello.
I have the same issues with prestashop. For sure first thing is that you have to use latest versions of plugins, because if you are using new wordpress and old plugins it will crash. Also if you are using a lot of plugins check which making wordpress crash. Install one, test if everything is okay, instal next etc. You will know which plugins causing crashes.
