Why Having too Much Widget Is Not Good for Your Site

I wonder why there are still a lot of people there who have so much widget on their site that it turns out to be annoying, well it is okay if you have widget like popular post widget, social sharing widget, it is fine. But when some blogger decided to put music, weird spammy badges widget, and custom mouse maybe? Of course I know that it is up to them do to what they want, but I still want to express my opinion about all of that.

What about the social sharing widget?

Just like what I said earlier, social sharing widget is okay, it doesn't really make the visitor mad, it is nice to look at and make the site turns to be more professional. So for these post I am just gonna talk about the annoying mostly useless widget that a lot of people like to put on their site. Most of them are a widget that automatically plays a music everytime you visit the site, some spammy widget that act as a badge, and some other widget

Why do I do not recommend this widget?

Probably the reason for me to not recommend the widget that I listed bellow is because most of them is useless, or have a little uses and doesn't really relate to the site itself. It make the site loads slower because the visitor needs to process more data when visiting the site. The widget doesn't look professional at all so your site doesn't look professional if you have too much widget like this. Most of them is just a way for people to get dofollow backlink, people who is lazy and wanted to get quick dofollow backlink could just build a quick widget put some clickable link onto it and make it a dofollow link, share it to everyone, free easy dofollow backlink

What kind of widget that I mean?

This is a list of widget that can be considered useless or annoying for your blog and removing them is a recommended action

Music Player Widget

You were browsing, reading some article and then you hear some music, wait where does this music come from, a quick check take you to a blog where it has a music widget, "well the music is nice let just keep it that way" you opened some post from that blog and hoola, the music started again two of the same music, overlapping each other, you scream and then you decided just to stop the music. This is what makes people get annoyed from music widget, when they opened another post the music started again and started to overlapping each other, this is why it is not really recommended to put something like this on your blog, plus not everyone like the same kind of music

Badges Widget

Have you ever seen a blog where it all of the blog filled with this so called badges widget, well the picture above is not really that annoying but when there are 10 of it showing something not really that useful you, it kinda give the impression that the blog that you are reading are not good looking at all. Really what is the use of this widget? Show off? Have you seen some big site that put these on their homepage? This widget is not useful at all, probably the only reason for someone to build this widget is to get backlink a dofollow one probably from the website that put this thing on.
