    infinite (it depends on your servers capacity)
    yes it could reduce site loading.. I had with one of my blogs this, and it was because I tried every plugin on the site, and after deleting them they leaved some trash is the site and it maked it a bit slower... for this you can upload a test wordpress and test plugins there, and if they are usefull you can istall to you main blog...
    And if it is slow at this time too export your posts, and modified themes, and reinstall wordpress :D ))

    Actually that depends on 2 factors:

    1. You server PHP memmory cache allotment (basically server perfomance)
    2. What does these plugins do..

    Ideally you can use enough, but dont go around using too many plugins as it could make your blog vulnerable to security holes and to get hacked if the plugin is not well coded.

    cheers

    Infinitive plugin can be used but have to see your web-space and brandwith that gave by your web hosting company. While use only one plugin that i also used is all in seo pack that is awesome for the SEO purpose.

    I have a site that I had to delete plugins because of the slow loading and I had to add a cache plugin to be able to clear it constantly. I had the site doing too many things as well, so after I started trimming things back, and maintaining just what I needed, clearing the cache, and things like that, it loaded faster.

    I haven't installed many plugins which will be full on my server yet.
    I think you can use a little amount of plugins,if it's neccessary.don't use many plugins ,you can't manage them and maybe your site will be hacked.

    hello, sometimes you can obtain the same results of many plugins by using some little coding...

    You can use as many as you can but make sure you don't make your website unstable and slower! Always make a backup of all the files before installing any plugin.

    I think adding more plugins will make your site slow..the load time will be higher bcoz of loading al those javascripts related to plugins..Use plugins that are more useful ..dont try to add many plugins!!!!!!!

    More plugin you use more, more memory will use your site. Use only necessary plugins such as "All in One Seo Pack".:cool:

    My opinion is the less plugins you install the better for your site...

    All i can say is use only required plugins such as all in one seo,wp db backup,hyper cache etc. No need to use bunch of plugins.

    DON.

    There is no hard and fast rule to use exact number of plugins in wordpress blog. It depends on your server capacity. However using more plugins increase loading time and due to this increase bounce rate. so should avoid it.
