# Plugin Caused Performance and Reliability Issues

 * Unfortunately, I had to uninstall this plugin from my WordPress site because 
   it was causing tremendous performance and reliability issues. After deactivating
   all of the plugins on my site and reactivating them one by one starting with 
   the most important, I came to the conclusion that the Ultimate Social Media plugin
   was the culprit who was rendering my WordPress site utterly useless. In order
   for you to troubleshoot any compatibility issues between plugins, here is a list
   of the active plugins on my site…
 * Akismet, Contact Form 7, Google Analytics by Yoast, Google Analytics Dashboard
   for WP, Jetpack, MailChimp for WordPress Lite, Page Links To, Recent Pots Widget
   Extended, UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore, Wordfence Security, WordPress SEO.
 * With this information, I hope you will be able to troubleshoot any incompatibilities
   between the plugins and rectify the issue so others won’t be subjected to the
   same frustration that I have felt.

 * John, thanks for your prompt response to my issue.
 * I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in troubleshooting the issue on my site. I 
   just wanted to give you a heads up that there may be some incompatibilities with
   the Ultimate Social Media plugin and the other plugins I have listed above. I
   have already installed a smaller, cleaner and more reliable social media icon
   plugin on my site that works better for my needs.
 * Good luck and I hope you solve the problem.
 * Joe
