6 Performance Enhancing WordPress Plugins

WordPress, like any other CMS, eventually fills with clutter and unused entries within its database, which in turn can reduce the performance of the website.  At first, performance issues won’t be noticed, but after awhile, especially after traffic has increased on the site, your website is clunky and takes a longer time to load than it used to.  Now what?
