A specific example. There are 2 plug-in.

**1.** 1/assets/javascripts/discourse/initializers/1.js.es6

```
 import { withPluginApi } from 'discourse/lib/plugin-api';
 import RawHtml from 'discourse/widgets/raw-html';

 function attachSignature(api) {
 api.includePostAttributes('reply_to_post_number');
 api.decorateWidget('post-contents:before', dec => {.....

```

**2.** 2/assets/javascripts/discourse/initializers/2.js.es6

```
import { withPluginApi } from 'discourse/lib/plugin-api';
function startVoting(api){....

```

As it is advisable to combine two or more plug-in to exclude the connection of the first rows…

```
 import { withPluginApi } from 'discourse/lib/plugin-api';
 import RawHtml from 'discourse/widgets/raw-html';

function 1(api) {...
function 2(api) {...

```

Will this affect performance?  
I look at common approaches…  
Just logically, you can make a dozen plugins or replace them all in one.

What’s the question here? I don’t understand.

It makes sense for the performance to make one common plugin than 10 different ones. After all, connecting almost identical files in 10 plug-ins than connecting them 1 time in one faster?

I guess. There is nothing faster than code you don’t execute. But I’m failing to understand the problem here.

There is one more question in order not to multiply topics.

Perhaps it makes sense to use stopwords in the search?

PG already has stop words built into each dictionary it supports.
