So it turns out I was wrong

Grumpy Dev Syndrome

I have discovered that my ire at a certain plugin author was not wholly justified.

It turns out that the three plugins I have began removing were retired because the “pro” all in one plugin is now free.

That said, having removed those and other plugins that we were not using has made the site a lot faster. I will probably add the lead tracking plugin in a future update (if anyone actually wants it) but I might not add it back to the main site because faster is better.

And now I shall quitely go away and grumble to myself in a general unfocused grumpy way.
