Who Jetpack is for

Made for the people who run WordPress sites

Whether you publish, sell, or build sites for clients, Jetpack keeps your site healthy, and Jetpack AI works across all of it.

What Jetpack does

Everything your site needs, in one plugin

Turn on only what you need. The heavy lifting runs on our cloud, not your server.

Real-time backups with one-click restores, malware scanning, and Akismet anti-spam.

Boost, a global CDN, ad-free VideoPress video, and instant site search.

Stats, social sharing, and newsletters from the site you already own.

Draft, edit, and build faster with Jetpack AI inside the WordPress editor.

In their words

Site owners on what Jetpack takes off their plate

“You don’t want to find out from your customers that your site has a problem. It’s much better to let Jetpack be on the lookout and let you know the second it sees something you should be aware of.”

“If people can get the answers they want quickly without having to email me, it’s pure gold and it makes my job easier.”

“Jetpack’s performance features are no-brainers for the sites I build. With one-click CDN, there’s no need to sacrifice performance for style. I know that it just automagically works once I toggle that button.”

The cloud behind WordPress.com, working for your site

Jetpack brings the cloud services that run WordPress.com to your site, so the heavy lifting happens off your server.

  • Backups are stored off-site in the Jetpack Cloud
  • Spam protection comes from Akismet
  • Plugins are checked against the vulnerability database from WPScan
Open source

Open source, so your site is never locked in

Jetpack is free software under the GPL, developed in public on GitHub by a community of 340+ contributors.
