    Im not sure theres any reason to have 19 plugins - for any extra that you add there will be an overhead which will result in slowing your site down. Do you really need that many?

    i only have 6 plugins installed. but if your wordpress blog slows down you could also use WP supercache plugin to improve its loading. add it up to your count.

    I've heard that anything more than 10 plugins and you are slowing down your server too much.

    I agree with everyone here, avoid using too many plugins, especially if they are not necessarry, it will slow down our sites.

    I have 16 plugins so far :( But i need them all..

    i use 20 plugin, but i need them all. If you can implement some of them via theme is better, some plugin are not suitable for this.

    If your host gives enough memory for your domain, then there's no problem with the no. of plugins installed. The more plugins you have, the more memory they eat up and some plugins can stop functioning due to lack of memory.

    You should have as many plugins as it takes to get you to where you want to be.
