 * Hi,
    I am trying to reduce the number of plugins I have in my site. I migrated
   from blogspot to WordPress several years ago. I was wondering if deleting this
   plugin would affect my site.
 * Thanks very much.

 * Hi Ugochi, deleting the plugin shouldn’t have any impact to your site. Any changes
   that were made, were made directly to your database, so removing the plugin should
   have no harm. To be safe, you can create a backup of your site and database before
   removing the plugin. I’m not the developer, but I use this plugin often. Maybe
   someone else can chime in to confirm.

 * The plugin is only used to search and replace, and only runs on the Search Regex
   page – it won’t slow down your site. Deleting it will have no other effect.
