Widgets of Posts by Same Categories Plugin: WordPress Speed Profile
Widgets of Posts by Same Categories is a WordPress plugin. The widget area lists posts of the same category as the current post.
Activating this plugin triggers a PHP fatal error in our benchmark sandbox, so we cannot measure its performance impact. A fatal on activation typically means the plugin expects a specific PHP version, missing dependency, or legacy function that the host no longer provides. Test on a staging site before activating on production.
