Sometimes I put a different wallpapers on my iphone and it feels slowly. Then, I put another wallpaper and feels faster. Does the wallpapers affect performance or it is just me ?

There has been instances, particularly with Betas - where performance is indeed quicker with a pure black background.
I believe this to be well and truly patched by iOS11 release.

I've always thought it was just me. Phone feels faster when using stock wallpaper, no matter what the iOS.

This. I have to change my wallpaper everyday because i don’t know what to use. I don’t like stock wallpaper but I feel like using them make the phone faster than using web pages wallpapers.

I doubt there's a difference between stock and other wallpapers. However, definitely the dynamic wallpapers impact performance. It might not be obvious on newer devices because they're faster, but I have an Air 2 and with dynamic wallpaper things are a bit slower, not enough to cause problems but it is noticeable.
