How many apps are too many for my store?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm struggling to understand the optimal number of apps to install on my Shopify store. I want to enhance functionality and improve customer experience, but I'm worried about potential performance issues, increased loading times, and unnecessary complexity. How can I determine the right balance between adding useful features and maintaining a streamlined, fast-performing online store? What are the potential risks of having too many apps, and what should I consider when selecting and managing my store's app ecosystem?
