   Hi,

   I'm thinking to install plugins like wp-supercache, wp-securityscan, wp-db-cache, google xml sitemap, all in one seo pack, robots meta.

   Essentially they are mostly administrative plugins.. they work in the background and I doubt they're involved in every page load.
   They're not like "most popular articles" or other stuff incleded in pages.

   So I'm asking if these plugins can slow down my pages or if they don't affect them.

   thanks:)

   Regarding the "wp-supercache", this will actually make your blog load faster for most readers, since the content will be pulled from the static cache, and not from a dynamic database.

   Regarding the other plugins, I don't know, I think "seo pack" and "robots meta" simply add some lines into the page header, so that shouldn't have much impact.

   Also you may want to keep an eye on the size of the plugin scripts: if you have 5 or more active plugins and each is adding 20kb of code to the first load, then this will impact the loading time of your blog, at least for low-bandwidth users.
