# Security plugins, too many?

 * Hello everyone,
 * First of all, I’m far from being a WP expert, thus why I am here I suppose.
 * I noticed my website is incredibly slow at the moment, even loading my wp dashboard.
   After using P3 plugin I noticed that Jetpack and WordPress SEO are the ones using
   the most resources. I deactivated Jetpack for now, might go with slim jetpack
   but in my jetpack options, only 2 “modules” were active.
 * I already installed W3 total cache and used the recommended settings and also
   optimized my db as recommended by my host Bluehost.
 * GTmetrix gave a score of
    Performance Scores PageSpeed Score (70%) YSlow Score(
   60%) Page Details Page Load Time 59.3s Total Page Size 13.2MB Requests 423
 * and google insights on pc 60 / 100 and on mobile 49/100.
 * I noticed that I have many “security” plugins and I was wondering if I really
   need them all or if I could get rid of some and many use a “main” one.
 * Here’s the list of plugins installed on my wp:
 * Askimet
    All in One WP Security Growmap Anti Spambot LionScripts: IP blocker 
   Lite
 * Other plugins I have that I’m not sure if I really need:
    SEO Friendly images
   socia media widget Mojo marketplace floating social bar google analytics google
   XML sitemaps BackWPup Boostrap 3 shortcodes
 * Any help would be much appreciated, even a link to a guide or something.
 * Thanks
