I have divided wordpress plugins according to categories they fit in.

Best SEO Plugins for Wordpress :

• All in One SEO Pack : This is the simplest SEO plugin which I recommend for beginners, if you are just starting your first website. It optimizes your website for better search ranking. As a beginner you may not know much about SEO while setting up your new blog so this plugin will certainly help you to go in right direction.
• WordPress SEO by Yoast : This is an advanced SEO plugin which will certainly give some boost to your ranking. Apart from basic SEO features it also have many other functions such as setting up of XML site-maps ,breadcrumbs,RSS and many other which are absent in ALL in SEO Pack. Its also has snippet preview and also a page analysis function which will analyze your post for better optimization.

Best Statistics Plugins for Wordpress :

• WordPress Stats : This is arguably the best wordpress stats plugin available till now. It shows number of page views in a graphical way in Dashboard. It also shows the most visited pages of your blog. It tracks the keywords which are used to visit your website.
• Analytics 360 : This is another great wordpress stats plugin which works just like Google Analytics. It has most of the functionalities of GA. The only is that it increases the load on your server which may slow down your website.

Best Cache Plugins for Wordpress :

• W3 Total Cache : This plugin is important to improve the performance of your website i.e the loading speed of your website. W3 Total Cache is arguably the best cache plugin which will help you to optimize your blog loading speed. It has many advanced features available which boost your website speed.
• Wp Super Cache : This plugin was most used plugin until w3 total cache was created. It is again a good plugin for beginners as you will not have to set up the advanced functionalities.
