Feedburner is a free service by Google feedburner.google.com that provides easy feed management and custom RSS feeds for your blog which gives more easy visibility than your normal RSS feeds to your visitors.

WP easy paypal - This is use as payment gateway if you are selling something on your website.

No FeedBurner - Google service is still running and it is used for getting subscriber for the blogs. So really good to get more permanent subscribers.

You can go for anyone of them. But i prefer WP super cache. Below is the example of speed between two, when we clear the cache.

I often deleted Akismet because I don't know how to use it and using contact form 7 instead of WP Contact form

Akismet - This plugin is used for prevention of spam comments to your blog. This is the number one and best plugin to stop unwanted spam comments.

Hi,

There are many pluings available in WordPress as you said. Choosing the best one which doesnt hurt your WordPress website is a daunting task and reqires expert advice. I am using WordPress since half past decade. As there are many Plugins which depends on users requirements. If you specifically looking for WordPress plugin that could keep your website light and enhance performance then I would recommend using these top three plugins:-

1)WP Optimize
2)Plugin Organizer
3)WP Smush.it

For more details to know the features on each Plugins you may check out Top 10 Performance Enhancing WordPress Plugins

I've ever heard/used Plugin Organizer and WP Smush.it before, how do they work and what purposes do they use for?

Hi,

The Plugin Organizer is an easy and quick way of organizing all the plugins installed on your WordPress site. It also allows you to selectively display the plugins that are installed for managing posts as well as your website.

Smush.it is basically an online service provided by Yahoo, which allows you to optimize your images, and their size without sacrificing their visual quality of image.

For more indepth knowlegde about each plugins you can see here.

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any question in your mind.

Thanks
