Recent Features and Bug Fixes to Jetpack by WordPress.com – Problems and Negative Reviews

Summary

20150507th-wordpress-jetpack-plugin-suite-ratings-reviews

JetPack Ratings as of 7 Apr 2015

A recent update to the JetPack plugin suite from WordPress caused many people to experience errors when attempting to login to their administrative dashboard. This resulted in a significant increase in very negative 1-star ratings, shown here.

Another problem that people complain about with JetPack is that it slows down site load times. This may be a result of having too many of the JetPack features unnecessarily enabled. Because JetPack isn’t a single plugin, but a collection of plugins, it’s typical for people to select only a few features they’d like to use. This can help speed up load times.

Also, there are features in JetPack and other plug-ins, as well as enhanced themes, that offer enhanced content delivery, such as the improved photo gallery.

Most websites have many plugins. Each plugin incrementally slows down a website. Every request for text, images, or other design elements slows down a website. For this reason, most self-hosted sites will use caching services or plugins like WP Super Cache.
