Akismet

We all want to speed up our blogs and one of the easiest ways to do that is by removing WordPress Plugins that impact the time it takes for the pages of your blog to load, and provide little benefit to our readers. Personally I have nothing against any of these plugins or the developers. And as far as I know, each one of them does a fine job of living up to expectations in terms of functionality and purpose. But quite frankly, in the grand scheme of things, we can certainly live without them.
