What are the contributions of plugins in Confluence, as some of them are negatively affecting the system performance? How do plugins impact performance, and what alternative options are available if I want to improve the speed of my Confluence instance?
nb: Is there another option if i get rid of pluggin ?
Typically, the performance issue will surface as the instance gets bigger with more data.
Some of the possible causes:
The best way to improve the speed is to identify the root cause and treat the problem accordingly.
It will be helpful to track the historical growth of your Cloud instance with Site Statistics for Confluence.
You can also raise a support ticket to Atlassian or get a Solution Partner to do an in-depth checkup.
I wrote an article "8 Possible Reasons Why Your Jira Cloud is Slow" for those who are interested from the Jira's perspective.

You have to opt-in (manually add) plugins/apps. Go to 'Manage apps' to uninstall third party apps.
Like on your Android/iPhone some features cannot be removed.
Example there are a lot of macros by default that are built by Atlassian. Then many Confluence apps you install add more macros. Yet it is hard to tell in the list of macros which are by Atlassian and which are by 3rd party vendors.
You could uninstall an app and lose access to macros you thought were native if you are not careful.
re: performance
We have an app called Numbered Headings by Easy Apps, it loads in the menu.
If you have a lot of apps that need to be loaded this can slow down page loading. The big one is if a user created the pages with a lot of macros it will take longer to load a page. Some macros are 'power hogs', most load well.
It isn't simply the number of apps you have installed. We have another app called Space Content Manager not part of a page, meaning it doesn't impact page load. As you can see the access point to it is in the side menu on a page, it opens in its own 'window'.
