Jetpack is a mega-plugin that bundles many WordPress features in one package. Developed by the official WordPress.com team, it’s still actively maintained.

What’s inside? Subscriber management, real-time visitor stats, link shortening, share buttons, LaTeX math support, a Twitter follow card, and lots more. The only requirement: a free WordPress.com account.

Jetpack Modules That Still Earn Their Keep in 2026

• Stats: a lightweight, privacy-aware analytics tool. Great if you don’t want Google Analytics.
• Site Search: WordPress’s built-in search is weak; Jetpack Search dramatically improves relevance.
• Brute Force Protection & Downtime Monitor: basic security cover even on the free tier.
• Image CDN (Site Accelerator): serves images via WordPress’s CDN, speeding up pages.

Heads-up: If turning everything on slows your site, head to the Modules screen and disable the ones you don’t use.
