+### Do not use "object" but "class"
+{id="object-vs-class"}
 
 Plugins *may* use [Kotlin classes](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/classes.html) (`class` keyword) to implement declarations in the [plugin configuration file](plugin_configuration_file.md).
 When registering an extension, the platform uses a dependency injection framework to instantiate these classes at runtime.

+### Do not use "companion object" in extensions
+{id="companion-object-extensions"}
+
+Kotlin `companion object` is always created once you try to load its containing class, and [extension point implementations](plugin_extensions.md) are supposed to be cheap to create.
+To avoid unnecessary classloading (and thus slowdown in IDE startup), `companion object` in extensions must only contain simple constants or [logger](ide_infrastructure.md#logging).
+Anything else must be a top-level declaration or stored in an `object`.
+
+Use inspection <control>Plugin DevKit | Code | Companion object in extensions</control> to highlight such problems (2023.3).
