Jetpack – WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth

After experiencing some plugin-related glitches or my own bad, I had to restore the site, multiple times. There was not a single time when JetPack didn't stick to its promise. I feel safe experimenting and sleep well having Jetpack in my back pocket.

thanks!!

Really Useful

При аутентификации на сайте через данный плагин мобильного приложения, пароли от учетной записи были опубликованы в сети интернет. Защита Google предупредила об утечки учетных данных. Не рекомендую, дополнительно при активации плагина происходит перегрузка сайта с дальнейшим выводом ошибки 502.

EDIT 5-15-25: Coming back - I don't know - months(?) later to report that the remnants of this plugin had infected my database to such a degree that it is now literally impossible to get rid of all the cling-ons. Searching my options table and server files repeatedly in the past weeks revealed this uninstalled plugin to be absolutely everywhere (not just transient files, but within other plugins' php files, too). If you plan on switching from this plugin to another speed/caching plugin, just know it will take hold and be with your database forever, redirecting many of your plugins to run via its folder paths and classmaps. For an optimization plugin, the plugin itself is terribly optimized and even after you uninstall, it will still slightly bog your site down with unnecessary plugin cling-ons and options table bloat.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Lots of great, useful tools in this plugin, but they are mostly pay to play now. Also, (after using it for a while then switching to another plugin that had a lot of the same features for free) I found that my wp_options table in my database had remnants of this plugin clogging up my autoloads. Had to go in and manually remove them since the Jetpack uninstallation process didn't wipe them, nor did they disappear after time passed as they should have - persistent little buggers. Has the potential to be a great plugin but does not hit the mark.

Love the mobile app. The Wordpress connection has been less than stable at times, but the support team is superb, and issues have been resolved quickly. Overall, I’ve been impressed. It makes my site admin a lot easier than before Jetpack existed.

Navigating account settings, especially with multiple JetPack accounts, is horrible—there is not even a logout button! No way to switch accounts, no easy way to manage associating a specific JetPack account with a specific WordPress installation. Confirming login with JetPack app is unnecessary and a waste of time.

JetPack has many features; it really needs improvement on account navigation.

Jetpack is a powerful all-in-one plugin that covers essential areas like security, backups, and performance optimization. The automatic backups and downtime monitoring give me peace of mind, and the site accelerator really helps with loading speed. It’s also great to have spam protection and brute-force attack prevention built in. Whether you're running a blog or a business site, Jetpack is a solid choice to enhance functionality and security.

It is precisely in the files of this plugin that were hacked on 08/05/2025.
Say Hello Kremlin's propaganda

Without my consent, after the update the plugin blocked my account on my site. Additional protection, additional verification? Absurd! I didn't ask, I don't want! Away! Never again JetPack! 😕😏
