There are probably going to be people who tilt their heads sideways when I say this, but my favorite plugin is "Simple Mathjax." For those who don't know, Mathjax is a Javascript plugin that allows different math typesetting languages (such as LaTex and MathML) to be rendered in places that weren't originally intended to render math natively, in this case Wordpress. It accomplishes the goal (in the case of this plugin) by triggering a parser on a remote server when you load your page. The parser then returns beautiful typset math for you to look at.
The reason this is important to me, is because I'm a math/physics nerd (and I'm currently self-studying through an undergraduate curriculum I created,) and I want to be able to post poignant things from my studies and, in years to come, my research in blog form.

The plugin i like most is YOAST SEO
I have been using wordpress fro a few years now I came across this firewall plugin which helps lockdown my websites
Its called Ninja Firewall
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/
if you have other scripts running in folders you might need to disable the post or get options as the plugin secures the whole public_html folder.
the plugin also provides a visual display on the dashboard to show any attacks.
For anyone that uses instagram I came across this great plugin that lets you display your photos as an album
https://wordpress.org/plugins/alpine-photo-tile-for-instagram/
you can add shadow effects to all the images that are displayed as a nice gallery, it uses lightbox popup or a direct link to your instagram photo
For anyone in the UK in need of the cookie consent as part of the new EU ruling I have found this plugin to do the job well its called UK Cookie consent it displays a simple banner at the top or bottom of the page and generates its own page with more information about cookies
wordpress.org/plugins/uk-cookie-consent/
I have been using a social auto post plugin for a while now I got the paid version although the free one works well you are just limited on the number of connections.
its created by NextScripts social auto poster
wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/
you can change what is sent to your social networks by using short codes it takes a while to configure as you need to get the different API's for the different social networks you want to use but once its been set-up it will save you time as you don't need to manually post to your social accounts

CloudFlare Flexible SSL.
I can use https on my wordpress by Cloudflare Universal SSL without install any certificate on web hosting, and this plugin fix the looping. Additionally, i use Wordpress HTTPS plugin to fix mixed content.

For eCommerce the WooCommerce (by WooTheme) is the best. Its core funcationality provided for free and it is enough for basic eCommerce projects with invetory control, refunds, different shipping and payment methods.
Also they provide very neat API that allows to extand engine's basic functionality asuming you know PHP. It's very easy to use. Thus for free you get very powerful tool to build your own eCommrce engine without any efforts!

I'll just add a few more here that I always use:
WPTouch - mobile friendly theme. Even though I have jetpack (as I mentioned before), and it has it's own mobile theme, for some reason it doesn't show well in one of my sites, that's why I decided to install this one instead. It works well, and it also has options to add a feature image + social icons in the footer and other little options.
WP PageNavi - I can't function without this plugin anymore. On your posts page, instead of showing "older entries / newer entries" it shows page numbers instead. It's much better, in my opinion.
Disqus - I use disqus instead of wordpress's comment system because I was really tired of all the spam comments I was getting. Akismet is a good plugin at blocking spam, but lately it wasn't blocking anything, so I switched. Haven't had spam since.
Rating Widget - This one is optional. It's just a way to get some kind of notice people actually like your posts, since most of the time they don't leave comments.
WP-UserOnline - to see how many people are online on your site.
Contact Form 7 - For contact forms. This is my favorite because it has captcha and a bunch other options.

Disqus is really excellent TangledMemories. DJB (Chris) has been using it for years in his blogs and that is how I got to learn to work with those. Definitely a spam buster per excellence.
I'm also familiar with Contact Form 7. Really a great plugin to have. Nice list there. :good:

Akismet - Yeah I still use it. catch 99% of all spam comments. This is the only anti spam plugin I use.
Jetpack - It has some good options like contact form, social buttons, social site connectivity, related posts etc
WordPress SEO - Best free seo plugin in my opinion.
TablePress - It's must have if you have a site like Amazon affiliate site.
Google Analytics by Yoast - Well everyone need this one or something similar.
Google XML Sitemaps : I prefer this one to built in sitemap feature in Yoast SEO.
