The WordPress plugins offer numerous customization possibilities and must be chosen ad hoc based on the purpose of the website. Generally, the macro-areas to consider are: SEO, security and functionality.

For SEO we recommend YoastSEO and W3 Total Cache. YoastSEO is the number one plugin thanks to its many features including Title Tag and Meta Description optimization, XL Sitemap generation or automatic setting of canonical URLs. W3 Total Cache, on the other hand, is perfect for reducing loading times, improving performance and consequently also SEO, because it allows you to save the pages already loaded, avoiding new database queries.

As for security you can opt for Akismet and Really Simple SSL. Akismet is the ideal solution to avoid spam thanks to the preventive and automatic control of all comments received on the various pages of the website. Really Simple SSL is useful for viewing the site with the HTTPS protocol once an SSL certificate has been installed.

As for the features you could consider Contact Form 7 and, in the case of commerce portals, WooCommerce. Contact Form 7 helps you manage and customize contact forms to better perform your first contact, support or newsletter activities. WooCommerce is par excellence the plugin dedicated to online shops thanks to the numerous customizable functions of product sheets, cart and checkout.
