@MirandaEcho are they ok with us removing/updating plugins on staging?

[joshdarby]

Do we know what they're using the WPMU DEV for? They already have the WPE Plugin Manager plugin active and they're hosted on WPE still, so not sure what need they have for the WPMU plugin

I asked Lauchlin if we can start messing about with plugins on staging. I know she had installed some other ones there to play around with, so we may want to do a fresh copy from live to get the most accurate testing, but I'll confirm. *Miranda Krapf* Project Manager, INN Labs Institute for Nonprofit News <http://inn.org/> @INNNerds | @INN

Questions for Lauchlin:

• What pages/posts are they using SiteOrigin for? Their license has expired and it needs updated. If they're not using it anymore, can we remove it? Otherwise, they'll need to renew their license in order for us to update the plugin.
• Do we know what they're using the WPMU DEV for (aside from Hummingbird Pro)? They already have the WPE Plugin Manager plugin active and they're hosted on WPE still, so not sure what need they have for the WPMU plugin
• They have a few optimization plugins, that I assume are working alongside CF. Can we consolidate them? We can probably get rid of Autoptimize. They have:
  • Hummingbird Pro
  • Smush Pro (image optimizations, goes hand in hand with HBP)
  • Autoptimize
• The Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer plugin is one of the plugins loading a ton of resources and affecting load times/performance. Is it necessary/can we find a different plugin for them to use in its place?
